- Kioti CK30 HST
Hey all. Maybe my second or third post here. We own a Kioti CK30HST tractor - 2nd year of ownership. After a miss-hap with a broken lower boom piston on the backhoe, we decided to do our regular maint. while we had the time. Changed out all fluids and filters, and even replaced a burnt out light bulb (! not a big deal - but will come back to this). Started the tractor up, rechecked fluids and the new brake light and sent the wife on her way. 10 minutes later, the tractor shuts down - just stops - and a turn of the key gets us NOTHING - Dead.
We try jumping the tractor - which allows the engine to turn over (very slowly) and then click click click. Took the battery home over night and put it on a trickle charger. This morning, with charged battery - back to NOTHING! not even a click. Again - attempted to jump the motor using my F-150 (avoid the jokes here) and again, it turned over slowly then click click click. Not enough power to crank appropriately.
Back to what changed...... New fluids (should not have any impact), new filters( same) and the new light bulb (????) I have taken the bulb out at this point - did so before attempting the jump starting yesterday. Looking for any guidance on troubleshoothing.
I'm an accomplished DIY (Changed out two engines before) but not super familiar with the start up process of the diesel engine. What should I be looking for and testing?? Thanks in advance for the help here!!
