I like your commentary, you say out load exactly what is in my head but never say out load. I love to hear it said out load, very entertaining and informative.
Thanks for sharing!!! I dont have Kioti but I thought this was a very good video on what things look like inside when taking front hubs apart with some idea on how to. I dont recall a happier repair guy anywhere, could call you the happy mechanic. The only distraction was about half way though your high blood pressure monitor kept beeping and beeping and beeping...........
It just TOTALLY AMAZES me how just about 99% of compact "TWACK-TER drivers " think their "rig" is the BEST & just not OVERLOADED Enough. Those "measly" snap rings hold that whole "little world" together. With the ADVENT about Loaded tires this problem of "too quick seal fail" is a VERY common occurrence. Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio and happy safe tractoring. You are a Professional. Best wishes with all your endeavours.
Very nice video,wish I had your sense of humor when working on my tractor! Very pleasant video. I had replaced my right side seal a couple years ago with no Kioti video, went fairly well, now its time to do the other side and its nice to have a guy that has a video for the same tractor as I have.Im wondering if this is a problem with the seals, I actually had to replace the rear drive shaft seal already. The tractor currently has 730 hours on it .
Thanks for watching. I complain about repairs, but in the end I cannot imagine not having my tractor. I can just imagine the amount of work you got done in those 730 hours. I know theres stuff I do that I look at and know without the tractor it would have taken 10 times longer. I just wish everything with tractors wasn't so expensive! I ended up replacing both sides also. But I have had no problems in that area since. Have a good one.
Good video except for the annoying beeping in the background…. I’ve got a CK2610HST and have had to replace both axle seals multiple times. Dirt and mud just seem to eat them up over time. Wish there was a way to protect those exposed seals! Good job with your first seal replacement!
Sorry about that, must be the garage door sensor. I am about deaf in one ear and cant hear out the other when it comes to certain noises. So i never noticed it.
Question: Is Kioti any relationship to Kubota? Anybody know? Reason I'm asking is because I just replaced the front axle seal on a Kubota 3710 and be damned if it is almost identical to this Kiota. There's very little difference. It broke down the same way. The only difference I did was since it was just the steering seal leaking on mine, I took off the whole assembly from the bottom so I wouldn't have to break the hub seal. Oh, and Kubota has a big O-ring for the hub. I noticed that on this Kioti it didn't have one. Anyway, good job on this video. Very informative.
When your done id switch the axle to gear oil like it says in owner manual my dealer warned me to change front axle oil when I did first service so the thin oil didn't leak out of seal
Common problem. MINE IS A 2018 AND HAS LEAKED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES ON BOTH AXELS. COVERED UNDER WARRENTY. KEEP CLEANED OUT WITH AIR COMPRESSOR. DIRT GETS IN THERE
A very common problem with these and other brands. The whole problem is;= the front axle is getting "CRUSHED" from the loader being OVERLOADED. Rear wheel ballast is the MAIN problem, sinse it transmits the WHOLE WEIGHT of the tractors ballance point of the front axle. With ballast weight BEHIND the rear axle it "levers " weight OFF of the front axle. These front axles seals (fixed for others) are my worst nightmare.
Would you come help me on my dk45s? That ck 35 looks like a better assembly. Mine dropped and broke apart. Looking for that repair on line. Thank you for your time it took to video. Atleast I have a little of an idea of what I’m getting into.
These "little" compact tractors are "tortured" in their 65 hour per year lives. This "oil-seal" ( Realy fatigued& cruseded bearings) problem happen s ALL THE TIME!!! Have fixed many ( all brands) for my associate's; but NEVER MY OWN !! The Loader work= Extreame compound leverage when rear tires are LOADED= happens evey time!!! By using the 3point with "out-board" balast this technique "leverages" Weight OFF of these flimsy front axles to the Stonger REAR AXLE !!! Just so happens that the loaders are really TOO STRONG for Tractors under 45 horsepower in 90% of cases. This New "miricale wonder fluid " is KILLING little "TWACK-TER s", by enableing them to "safely" picking up MORE Than they SHOULD. Balast is important; just use "3point counter-weighted leverage" to save your front axle& forget the Expensive " Slime-rim-guard". Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio ( & Comedy).Best wishes with all your endeavours.
Mine moved really easy with minimum pressure. I used a screwdriver tip and just pushed them up. They didn't move very far but they moved plenty far enough for me to get the snap ring back on.
These little twacters are not industrial rated fer the loads that are put on the "almost flimsy" front axles. The loaders are almost too powerfull, with compounding-leverage over the front axle the stress is horrendous. Fixed this befor on multiple makes & models. One issue stands out,that they ALL had in common----- little on no rear axle outbound weight leverage. The rear tires LOADED or wheel-weights is no help for the front axle. A heavy weight box, back-hoe, or heavy 3point implement sticking out there way back REALLY helps for the "ocassional" full loader capacity. The little "clip" that holds these together is almost a miracle, along with the tappered bearings & the Very Expensive seal ( it's part of the "bearing-action" too). Just keep the front weight down & keep-er out of 4wd or get a bigger TWACKTER.
They have a 2 year warranty on the basic tractor parts. By the time I noticed it leaking and called the local dealer last fall I had missed my cut off date by about a month.
They have a promotion from 2018 to 2024 I believe. They give you an extra 2 years on the power terrain warranty. I bought mine Dec 2018 and the front seals just started leaking. I contacted my dealer and they verified it is covered. Taking it in for repairs in 2 weeks.
