The Great Remote Detent Debate

[finspop]

Hi IndyIan,

No, it's a shuttle. My current thinking is to try not worry about it. The pump will fail when it fails, at which point I will replace it. If my friend is able to help with the cost, I am sure he will. If he's not able to, he'll still be my friend. And fretting over it isn't gonna change anything.

Yes, I would highly recommend that loop. I haven't installed one yet, but I will not have anyone else operate the tractor until I do.

We have a history of sharing equipment and my general view is that sharing with friends is more important than a tractor, any day of the week.

Kudos. A friend will be there to help you out long after a tractor has moved on to tractor-heaven. Well, given how long some tractors last, that may not be true. :laughing: Anyway, the next time you break something of his, you'll probably be forgiven, and any time you are short on beer money, just look over and ask if he smells any hydraulic fluid burning.

You should be able to remove the detent balls and spring. Just mark and label the parts so they can be re-installed.

Loop around hose is the other option.

Since the relief was activated, the fluid would heat up and cause potential problems, a LED light or buzzer when the relief is activated might warn the operator of potential danger . Momentary light means the relief was met and compensated, but steady light means the relief is flowing fluid constantly.

This thread with a real experience of what can happen with the accidently locked-in remote has convinced me to quit procrastinating and remove the detents on my DK35. It doesn't seem difficult from a couple of previous threads, and a couple hadvery good instructions.

I prefer removing the detents instead of the bypass loop because the detents are a pain when "feathering" the control. It is easy to accidently slip into detent position, and that is not pleasant when blowing snow. I ended up with a few minor partial blasts by rotating the chute too close to my direction last winter, and my neighbour ended up with an almost full blast. There are a few places where I need to direct the snow close to the operator platform (throwing it over forward over the rear fender) to get it to a position where I can again redirect it to an open area.

So, I'll remove the detents before winter.

KCO,

Can you point me toward those threads? I did a search for "remove detents" but came up with a lot of unrelated stuff.

Thank you.

Here is one thread by tpulley and with photos:

fantastic, thank you!

Did some more searching. Here is another thread:

http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kioti-owning-operating/183382-de-detenting-kioti-rear-remote.html

It has some "official" detent instructions provided by Wallace.

I've printed both these threads and all photos to a directory so I'll have them when I removed my detents.

Cheers

Fins, de-ball your control.......then it can never happen again. My pump got piping hot a couple of times before the neutering occurred...no damage that I can tell.

I too did mine. It wasn't too hard. Here is my thread and the pics I took while doing it. I am glad I did. My father in law kicked it on a few times but not long enough to harm anything. Just enough to scare me.
