Kioti LK3054
I'm new to this site so forgive me if I don't follow the proper protocol. I just purchased a used Kioti Lk3054 with a serial number of 426500778. I'm trying to figure out what year it was built and whether it is an "XS" model or "DSL" model - and what the difference is. I'm looking for service manuals, etc. Thanks for any help that you can give.

The first digit of the older serial numbers desginates year of manufacture, in your case, 1994. the "LK3054XS" was the name given to the tractor when they moved the gearshift from off the transmission cover to the left of the steering wheel. I think that was around 2005, the last version was the LK30, which had the same front axle/steering as the CK series. The back half of this tractor is still in production on the DS3510.

Thank you very much. This was a big help. I was ready to purchase a new service manual for the "XS" for $129. It would have been the wrong one. Again, thank you.....

Starting with 2001, Kioti started using letters for the first character in the serial number. A 2001 model year would start with an "A". Your serial number startes with a "J" so I believe that would be a 2010.

OOPS..Thanks close.

KIOTI never used A-C in the serial numbers. They started with the letters in 2004 with the "D" series number. Count up from there, and skip "I" in your counting, to get the production year. They didn't use "I" either to avoid confusion.

The 2nd thru 4th numbers are, the model code.

That is the only service manual still in print. You may be able to find one of the older versions, but they are hard to come by.

Thanks...probably Robert at MEI. I'll have to remember this along with the no "I". So a "J" would be a 2009. Mines a 2004 with a "D", so I'll remember to start from there.
