Kioti Tractor DK40 Not charging battery

[bullebak]

what were the front end problems? Just curious, as I own a larger Kioti and one day I will probably buy a smaller one. I like those little DK's.

The gears in the front end disintegrated. First time had it repaired at a cost of around AUD3000. Internal gears just cracked up. Happened when backing out uphill with a load of soil.

Second time not clear about the circumstances but what is clear is that the design is not good enough.

As an aside, the fuel tank holds 40l, and that means if you use 20l jerrycans, you can never fill it up properly without leaving half a can empty and then usually spill fuel. It's a hassle lifting the cans up to the top of the tractor. So I just fill with one jerrycan.

Get a 45l capacity tractor, at least.

I have a 1914 Kioti tractor ,I replaced the starter, the alternator, and the battery. It still will not charge. When I put the battery in it's at 12.6 v and when it's running it's still at 12.6v at the battery. Is there a way to test the alternator (I tried testing it with my volt. meter in the two wires coming from it and it's not reading anything. It's new. Help Chris

Watch this video on YouTube as a quick refresher on how to test: test alternator voltage - Google Search

Make sure when testing, your engine RPM is up around 2000 rpm, most alternators don't kick in until around 1200 rpm.

Also once you have verified that your mulit-meter is set and connected correctly; if you still read only battery voltage, check for a blown fuse either inline on at the fusebox.
