I have a 5' rotary tiller that is branded southeast IMCO. It was purchased used so im not sure the age, and i cant find any parts diagrams or dealers. The problem is the hex shaft that runs from the pto gear box to the chain sprocket has sheared off at the sprocket end. What are my options for...

I am looking to purchase a gravely 2 wheel tractor. Its primary use will be brush mowing on slopes too steep for a 4 wheel tractor. I had considered a BCS type tractor but cannot afford one at this time and used ones in my area are rare. Lots of gravely though, many with several additional...

I was pushing snow off the driveway a few weeks ago and noticed hydraulic fluid spraying from the left side of the tractor. Turns out the hose from the pump to the loader valve had been rubbing against the loader frame for a long time and eventually rubbed a hole through it. This was on a t233...

I am looking to buy a used BCS tractor to use as a brush mower on slopes too steep for my tractor. I think steering brakes would be helpful for these conditions. I have found a 730gx11 model with dual wheels. My understanding is that it has a locking diff but no steering brakes. Could the...

Was using the rototiller on my t233 today on a small 75x75 area. Apparently the temp gauge spiked and before i noticed it i heard a loud noise around the engine and the tractor engine and tiller abruptly stopped. Heard hissing and Looked like steam coming out of exhaust pipe. I really thought I...

I did some digging in the service manual, it looks like that remote could be used to control a double action cylinder (which I now think the deck lift cylinders are indeed DA, but only the retract side is hooked up to a pressure port on the valve) I attached a diagram, I dont think the B side is...

I posted about this in the hydraulics forum a while ago and never got very far. I would like to add a hydraulic side link, and possibly hydraulic top link as well. Mainly to greatly increase speed of my box blade work when making swales and terracing, etc. Of course money is always the issue...

I have been thinking for a while on this one and would like to get everyones input. I own a TYM t233 with the mid mount mower. For various reasons, I have removed the MMM and do not intend to be using it anymore. Which leaves me with the two hydraulic cylinders and lines still attached to the...

I am looking to buy/make some wheel weights for my tym t233. While the rear tires are loaded, and I have installed 2 link chains on the rear, because of my turf tires I still have traction problems when doing loader work, and using my box blade and subsoiler. I notice that unlike lawn tractors I...

Ok guys I got it figured out. The pto lever seemed to be stuck. I was taking the mid pto shaft off so I could try turning the pto on, just happened to touch the pto lever and it moved to the middle position easily. Moved back forward and tried back again and it was stuck once again, so somthing...

I have a t233 with the mid mount mower and mid pto. Today I bought a 5' bush hog and was going to test it out. Since the mid mount mower was still attached I was hoping to turn off the mid pto without having to unhook the mid pto shaft. (Didnt want to strain the tractor running both at same...

I have a tym273 with the tym belly mower, model tmb-60sh (side discharge). This was just purchased used with about 100 hours. I am very disappointed in the quality of cut. I get a lot of unmowed streaking, especially when turning, and the mower seems to throw out a large amount of unmulched...
