  Jerry ThomasSep 4, 2025
  If the hydraulics are not lifting on your Rural King Tractor, it could be due to several reasons: 1. Engine revs too low (increase engine revs). 2. Lack of transmission oil (top up the oil to the correct level). 3. Air leaking in from a pipe (repair or replace pipe or replace O ring on joint and tighten). 4. Clogged suction filter (clean and change oil). For a faulty pump, faulty hydraulic valve, or faulty cylinder, contact your dealer for repair.

Why won't the start motor run on my Rural King RK74 Power Shuttle?
- N
  Nicholas WalkerAug 21, 2025
  If the start motor of your Rural King Tractor does not run when turning the main switch, it could be due to several reasons. Make sure the clutch pedal is depressed and the PTO switch is in the OFF position. Other potential causes include a discharged battery (charge it), loose terminals (check for looseness and corrosion, then clean, tighten, and apply grease), or a defective safety switch, faulty switch, or defective start motor, which would need to be repaired or replaced by a workshop.
