DK45 whine in reverse
- Thread starter BigAl
- Start date
Yep . I agree . I talked with the Kioti Mechanic and I have checked everything he suggested . Back to square one ???
Checked and rechecked .... I am really baffled by this .
Bigal, there is a discussion on this in another forum. The problem looks like it is a batch of banjo bolts that were used that did not have enough clearance under the head.

Several issues with this reference .......
Al's tractor is too old for this discussion
Al's tractor is not a SE
.......... and I know Al's tractor is not HST
You didn't ........... I own a 45 too and checked it out. All I was doing was saving Al some time, I happen to know his machine. I apologize for sounding crass ............
The problem in the reference turned more towards issues with the DK40SE, very few DK45SE's and then from 2008 -2011

Found the problem .....
The needle bearings on the reverse shaft let go in the transmission . That destroyed the shaft and let the gear walk on top of the main gear on the main shaft .
Total damages is $500 for new parts . I have had to split the DK45 into two pieces . I'll also be replacing clutch and throw out bearing since its easy and I do not want to do this again . Total tear down time was about 7 hours and I figure 8 to put it back together .
This whole thing started out as a whine and I do not know anything that could have stopped it from happening . Once that bearing let go and started to squeal , I was done .

Just a quick note on the finish and my suggestion . Always check the hydraulic level every day, keeping it at the full mark as this is the only lubing the roller bearing gets . It set very high in the transmission so if the oil is down a bit it may not get proper lube .
The tractor now runs great and is very smooth . Total parts cost with oil ,filters was about $800 .
Took about 8 hours to tear it down and about 12 to repair it . This was with 2 men working and we never slowed down . Not a job I hope to do again , any time soon .
