Kioti DK55C
Changed the oil on the DK55C today and had a hard time finding the oil filler cap. The one shown in the owners manual was down by the injection pump on the rightside of the engine. Ended up finding it on top of the Valve cover under the compressor - a tedious spot at best.

Anyone have a tip on how to get that thing on and off more easily.

Everything else was great - oil filter easy on/off, drain plugs easy to get to, and engine compartment access was excellent.

I'll also post a comparison between my Mahindra 6000 and the DK55C - I put between 6 and 8 hours on each in the last couple of days.
