Back to the daily grind

Well the Christmas break is definitely over as the first week of work for the new year is almost done. I did order the shop and owner manuals for my Kioti Ck20 from eBay today. Saturday I won't get anything done around the property as I will be going to the Seahawks vs Saints play off game, go Hawks!

Kioti CK20 HST Maintenance

Spent a few more hours out breaking up rotten stumps, knocking down more trees and moving limbs. I then decided to do some maintenance on the tractor, which has about 338 hours on it and ran to Wally world for some oil.

I have not purchased the manuals yet but plan to from East Texas Tractor Parts http://www.easttexasequipment.com/ through their Ebay Store http://stores.ebay.com/East-Texas-Tractor-Parts . I have not purchased anything yet but have talked to them on the phone and come across as some nice people.

I picked up a Oil Filter at NAPA P/N FIL1334, they do also stock the Air and Fuel Filters. After warming the engine up, draining the oil and changing the filter, i put 4 qts of oil in.  OK well the oil didn't stay in the engine very well as I forgot to put the drain plug in.....duh. So after the flushing procedure i put the plug in and filled the oil...success it actual shows on the dip stick. That was enough for tonight.
