Where the hard line attaches to the distribution block hydraulic fluid is spraying out from the sleeve under the nut on the fitting. It is as tight as can be. The sleeve is stuck to the nut too.. I'm guessing it's not possible to fix this, as any attempt would make it too short most likely. Sigh.

Good day gents, it's been a while since I've posted.. my 33 has been mostly trouble free since rebuilding it so many years ago due to a cracked block. I have a new problem that I'm dealing with, which is that the tach and hour meter have ceased to function. initially the hour meter would leap...

Hadn't run my 33D in a few weeks, and decided to exercise it last night.. Fired right up (well, not really, since the battery was low, and it wouldn't engage the starter relay right away..) but it runs so well now after the rebuild... I don't know if it's ever run this well.. it seems to make...

Drove up to the dealer to bring her home. Spoke with the man who did the work, Thanks Buddy. It runs GREAT. I'd say it's better than new, thanks to the care he put into my machine. Fantastic. Can't wait to put it to work. Oh, he also made me a new counter weight. Kind of pricey, but seems to...

Unfortunately I was not able to visit the dealer to track the progress.. final tally is just shy of $2800, this with NH parts support in a bare block, piston rings, and gaskets. The dealer also found that the HST pump was leaking (again) so they replaced the seals for that as well. I have not...

Well we found out what the spark I saw when my engine block cracked.. One of the bolts on the top of the bell housing must have shot clean out like a tracer... it was missing... HST pump is leaking. Again (it was repaired once before, under warranty about 2 years ago). it appears that a log...

Once I get my tractor back from getting it's new engine (due to it trying to break in half while lifting snow with the 7308 FEL) I want to make a subframe to link engine subframe to the loader arms. I have the idea in my head.. Just wondering if anyone has any advice, yea or nay, to the wisdom...

I need to call NH, was told to call the number in the user manual.. My manual is home. anyone help? Please? :)

Plowing some snow tonight, went to lift a large pile of snow, and heard a very disconcerting BAM, saw a spark, heard a nasty noise, and dropped the bucket.. Quick inspection showed nothing.. drove it gingerly to the house, where I could take a closer look.. One of the little ears that bolts the...

Greetings all, it's been a long time since my last conf...er, post.. hope all the good guys are still good and the bad guys are getting better. I'm finally fed up with the complete and utter lack of steering control in snow with my R4s, and I want to mount chains on the front tires. I've...

(oops, I posted this in the wrong forum at first... *sigh* I'm not used to this format.. ) It's been a loooooooooooooooong time since my last post, I've been busy on other projects (namely Welcome to AudiWorld.com - The Audi Enthusiast Website).. Still have and love my TC33d!!! I've not been...

It's been a loooooooooooooooong time since my last post, I've been busy on other projects (namely www.audiworld.com).. Still have and love my TC33d!!! I've not been using it much this year, the battery is stone dead, won't hold a charge for more than an hour.. time for a nice gel cel battery i...

Been a while since I've posted, just got done spreading 2 loads of hardpack.. The 33d is running like a top! Just cleared 200 hrs. I know, not much..

Hey all!! I'm beginning to design (in my head) some bash plates for my 33d.. I was wondering if anyone out there has an opinion of the wisdom of welding mounting ears onto the rear FEL mounting arms for the purpose of attaching my bash plates... they seem pretty substantial, but I don't want to...

If it wasn\'t for bad luck... i\'d have none at all. Yes, I was working in the trees with my 33d... driving along, when suddenly, a log got popped up by the front left tire.. it was more or less sideways across the trail... felt a slight resistance, immediately reversed.. saw a slow spray of...
