I'll let you know Friday if my $368 investment works. Mine smoked and smelled like a rancid carfire. I too wonder what made it go bad as all of my safety switches are bypassed.

Hello gentlemen. It has been a long time since I've logged in and posted here. I have a 2004 TC24DA with a little over 1100 hours and I was in the process of tilling my new garden when all of the sudden she just stopped. Engine quit, no instrument lights, nothing. Attempted to restart and...

Hello gentlemen, I'm not sure if this the appropriate forum for this so if not admins please move to whichever you feel is appropriate. A friend of mine gave me this motor recently as partial payment for some backhoe work I did for her. I have not had the chance to do anything with it besides...

It has been quite a while since I have logged on/visited here. I just wanted say hello and it is good to see all the posts and discussions on here! I hope all my tractor buddies are doing well!

Hello gentlemen. It has been a while since I have posted here and I was formally known as (Mega_Me). Today my 24DA broke in half with the 756C hoe on it and at this point I have pics only. I plan to post further information soon.

Hello all, i was messing with my new HTC EVO from sprint and I found the TBN app. Just thought i'd try it out!

I'm looking at a 2007 F350 Lariat DRW 4x4 with 82,523 miles. It was a one owner truck. I have requested a "Oasis" report from the dealer (Ford dealer) and am looking forward to seeing it Monday when I go back there. They are ASKING $25,900 for the Ford. I do need a truck of this caliber as I...

From day one with this tractor I hated how the exhaust exited the tractor. I would often get off the tractor with a massive headache and also my loader arms were completely black. I had experimented with this set up first. I just had a local muffler shop put this together for me. It...

After thinking about the fact that my wife and I only took the boat out 5 times last year we decided to sell it. After only two days on Ebay it sold! Last year we took my mother's motorhome on a short trip and loved it....we got the camping/rv bug! So we took the boat money and bought a new...

Hopefully this post will show. When I log in the page refreshes back to the log on page, so I do it again same thing happens. However if I go right to the forums tab it then shows me logged in however when I go to reply to a post it gives me the log in again page. Any ideas? I have a lot of...

I thought I would share a few pics of mine. They are hard headed but good dogs. Any stories?

Finally the state approved the funding to repair this suspected mine subsidence related hole that I first talked about in this post; http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/rural-living/141129-i-fell-into-hole.html What they did (private contractor working for the state) was to dump the limestone...

I must have upset the big man above or something but the past couple of weeks have been unfortunate while trying to work outside. Its easier to list than go into a huge story. 1.) I was digging a small stump out of the back lower yard and needed a chain out of the chainbox on my gooseneck...

Gravity won the best of me. I'm okay, didn't spill my beer!

Yesterday I was using my TC24DA and bachoe to do a few things around the house when a hydro hose on the hoe broke. I lost maybe 1 quart of fluid or so. After fixing the hose, I topped off the fluid. Getting distracted by child and the dog, I forgot to put the plug back in the fill hole behind...

Sunday, my boy and I were walking over to the pond to do some fishing. All of the sudden the ground gave way and I fell up to my waist in this!

I reluctantly retired my '03 F350 7.3L and bought a '05 Chev. 2500HD Dmax/Allison. I really liked the Ford but it needed a good bit of $$$ in work and the wife and I decided to go with something newer/less miles. The Ford needed ball-joints, front axle seals/bearings, both locking hubs...

First of all, thanks to TCBoomer for your time in sending me pics of your split. It sure helps actually seeing something in color and real vs. a drawing in a service manual. I noticed that I began to have a slight oil leak about a month ago. It seemed to be minor and only dripped at bit here...

Summer's almost here in Ohio...we can now see the deer moving around! Yep, won't be long now.

The other day I noticed a quarter sized area of oil under my TC24DA. It is dripping right from the rubber boot where the front universal joint is. On closer inspection it seems to be coming out of the hole on the bell housing area where it looks like the is a head of a cotter pin sticking out...

On the way to work I stopped real quick to get fill up my 03 powerstroke (7.3l) f350. In a hurry and with a lot on my mind, I accidentally put 11.83 gallons of gas in the tank. As soon as I realized what happened, I immediately finished filling with diesel. I ended up with 19.08 gallons of...

I have noted of the past several years a slight crack in the clay thimble that passes through my poured basement wall leading out into the chimney. The wall was core drilled and the thimble was placed through that. It then extends past the outside of the wall goes through the chimney block and...

The remnants of "Ike" blew through here in Ohio and took down a couple of trees around my property. One of which was a large Sassafrass. Dad always talked about "Sassafrass tea" but I had never had any of it. So after cutting up the tree, I took the backhoe and dug up the remainder of the...

This is one of many threads about building a new pole garage/building. I'm thankful despite the state of the economy, to be able to finally build/afford the garage I have wanted for several years. I plan to house my tractor (of course), the boat, and other things that have been taking up space...

The main firebox door on my add-on wood furnace has developed a small hole. It is a cast iron door. Can it be fixed? I'm probably going to either have a new door fabbed or order a new one. Just wondering. The hole is located between the L and the A as indicated by the pics.

I just picked this up the other day from Appalachian Mfg. Its 12,000# GVW, 20' deck with 4' dove. I'm pretty happy with it for the money.

Just getting wood/coal furnace ready for the heating season, cleaning chimney, etc. I was wondering if anyone knows what the life expectancy of the single walled pipe is? I take it apart every year and clean it. Looks okay, no rust, pitting etc. You can barely see in the pic, but it runs...

Not sure if anyone cared, but I'm finally able to get back here. I went through the big D. All is good. Tractor, house, boat, truck, trailer (in no specific order) still here. Good to be back!

My tractor is in the shop and I need a real quick measurement from someone. Could you pull off the intake hose off either your aircleaner box or the actual intake and measure the diameter (inside/ouside) of that opening the hose goes onto? I know it's a strange request but it has to do with...

This is the beginning a lengthy project that I am in the planning stages of. So here's a peek of the beginning! Don't mind the blue tape....just there to help hold in place for measuring and "eyeballing." More to come.....soon!

I've been reading the endless posts here about loaded/unloaded tires. Currenty my R4's are loaded with WW fluid adding aprox. 340lbs. total. Most of time my loader work is light (bucket full of firewood, mulch, etc) and if I get into the heavy stuff I generally have the BH on. I do take off...

As I am typing this, I feel like I am writing a letter to distant family to let them know how "so and so" is doing. I guess the tractor is part of the family? I took my TC24DA into the shop because the diff. lock quit working. They gave me a John Deere 4700 for a loaner -...

Took the TC24DA in to have diff. lock repaired under warranty and they sent me home with this, a JD 4700. The guy said, "I know its not blue and its a LITTLE bigger than your 24 but at least you will have a tractor. Blue, green, whatever!

I have not heard from anyone for a while. Whats going on....changing from mowers to snow blades? Just stirring the pot! Anyways, used the 756 BH today to plant a couple of trees, nearly froze my rear off! 19 last night, 15 tonight....woo!

Well, I finally struck a deal with the local dealer and took delivery of a new M-60 "tank" mower. I went with the 27hp kohler engine. Fortunately, I still had some grass to mow before the cold weather hit and I am very impressed. The operators station/control is very comfortable and the...

How do they handle hilly areas? Going up or down, or go across? Anyone know anything about the Cub Cadet "M60 Tank" zero-turn mower?

What is a new GT3200 54" deck with aprox. 12 hours worth? How does this machine compare with a Cub Cadet M60 "tank" zero-turn mower in grass cutting abilities? On hills?

After pacing around the house for a little bit to cool down, I felt compelled to post a message here to share my experiences with a new GT3100 w/54" deck. My grandfather who lives next to me decided it was time to trade in his Cub 3240 for a new one. Having owned two prior Cubs without any...

My neighbor (who happens to be my Grandfather) decided to trade his 3240 with a 54" deck and 600+ hours on a new GT3100. The dealer needed to order the 54" deck and he won't be taking delivery until later this week. I begin thinking.....the amount these "garden tractors" cost, does Cub Cadet...

Switching implements is a pain in the rear! TSC has a Speeco brand quick-hitch and I was considering getting it. Anyone here have one? Pros, Cons, things to look for?

I'm considering buying a complete NH repair manual from a seller off Ebay. Does anyone have a NH manual? If so, is it worth the money? Is it detailed enough to say....troubleshoot why my diff lock won't lock? The dealer had had my tractor for a week and has not even looked at it yet and I am...

Over the past years, I've enjoyed the "simulator" type software games and now I've found a new one. Along with my collection of Microsoft FlightSim and the Microsoft TrainSim, there is a new simulator out called ShipSim 2006 that I just ordered. Hopefully it will be here in a couple of days...

I looked to see if there was an adjustment on the linkage but there is not. The lever goes right to the rod coming out of the transmission and is held on with a roll pin. I'm wondering if the lever is bent as when the diff. starts to lock the lever bottoms out on the foot rest and will not go...

After several hours of running the string trimmer around my pond in 95+ degree weather yesterday, I awakened this morning not only with aches and pains, but with a vision in my head to build my own boom mower. The plan; Step 1 - Find a good running 21"+ push mower from a yard sale. Step 2 -...

The 2 best days of a boat owner\'s life is..... the day you buy the boat, and the day you sell the boat! This boat seemed to follow me home the other night and park itself next to my trailer. Although a little "TLC" is needed, I think it will make a great first boat for us. I paid $950.00...

The city FD that I work for was selling old fire hydrants, and I thought it would complement the fish pond out in front of the house. After a day of stripping off 30-40 years of paint, I primed and repainted the old hydrant. Then I drilled a 1/2 hole in the "steamer cap" and T'ed off the...

I bought this today from a co-worker and it works great. However I was wondering what brand this might be. Here's a couple of pics.

Anyone know about, installed, or have a security system? Although the current system I have is "ARMED", services provided by a .38 pistol and a trusty 12ga. Remington 870. Oh, yeah, and a dog that gets really pissed off at strangers (has had a butt-cheek for lunch...sis-in-law!!! ) I've...

Can my NH TC24DA run a KKII 60\" tiller? I currently have a CCM 42"-48" tiller that I would like to get rid of so I can go with a bigger tiller. Although I am happy with the CCM it's really smaller than I really wanted. I looked at the King Kutters today and I like the 60" model. I was...

I used this 2-spool valve for my top and tilt set-up. What does the relief valve on this valve relieve? Is it relief for the work ports off that valve, or does it provide relief for everything down-stream from that valve? The reason I ask, is that this valve is supplied from the power-beyond...

I bought a 2" gas water pump from Ebay capable of 150gpm. I would like to set up a means of watering the garden using water from the pond. I wish this to be temporary, as I would like to break it down during off season. I was thinking of using the typical 2" suction hose/floating strainer...

I finally started this project with help from all of you here and a buddy who welds. I did not get pictures of all of the cutting and welding of the cylinders and valve bracket because it's all pretty much as other have done here. I did want to show you guys the amost finished project though...

custom-ML-836889-ML- While about a NH, could benefit others. Moved to Customization forum.

I found this valve after I bought one from Surplus Center. If I used this valve, do I still need to have cylinders with pilot operated check valves for a top and tilt set-up? It's about $70 more and I can get it locally. Opinions? 2 spool 5GPM compact valve with pilot operated checks.

Should anyone here need parts for a Shibaura (aka, Perkins) engine, contact these folks. I wanted a couple of things that my NH dealer could not get!?!? I found these people after searching all over the place. Very friendly and prompt service. BLUE RIDGE DIESEL INJECTION

It seems that you are seeing more and more LED's being used in many applications. I just bought some new LED brake/turn and markers for my trailer, can't wait to see them in use. I was wondering about these replacement LED bulbs you can get for use in place of the traditional incandescent...

I know most of you are sick and tired of all my questions regarding the TNT set-up and available options. Hopefully someone can help. I have a chance to buy a new/used IE TNT set up configured for a JD2210. The cylinders are the right length and and it comes with this valve. The question is...

Turbo Zetor

Is there a vent tube or fitting on the front axle of a TC24DA? The reason I ask, is that every time I check the fluid, there seems to be some pressure released when unscrewing the cap. This happens when it is cold. I'm afraid of excessive pressure build up as things warm up and blowing out...

Still no real progress on this project. I have a few plans/options though. Plan A - Buy everything from CCM in a couple of months, or whenever he has the stuff in stock (joystick, top and side link). I still at this point really don't know that total cost? Plan B - Buy the components from...

Hydraulic ?\'s.. Attn: MadRef or someone? Earlier I posted in the NH forum about adding TnT to a TC24DA. The more I search for info., the more questions I have. So I thought posting in a general forum, I could get a couple answers. Since I have a BH that when attached, runs of the power...

On a TC24DA with a mid-PTO, I have two questions; 1.) What is the rated RPM of mid-PTO? 2.) What is the size of shaft and # of spines? 3.) What direction does it turn when looking from the front? Sorry for such stupid questions, I do not have a MMM and wish to use mid-PTO for another...

TC24DA \"top and tilt\" Does anyone here have a TC24DA with the "top and tilt" or "terrain-control" installed? If so could I see some pics of the install? I'm considering purchasing the whole set-up (top and sidelink) from CCM and just wondered about the install. Thanks.

Late last year a recieved a few quotes from several electricians for installing a manual tranfer switch so I can eliminate running cords all over the place when the power goes out. The prices ran from $800-$1200 for a manual transfer switch install!!! None of the four electricians had the same...

I guess it's relatively new. Watched on TV the other day pretty sweet! This was a screen-shot off my computer while watching it. There were mostly Dodge trucks, but a couple GM's and Ford's.

I've read about coal burning in other threads and saw the term "clinkering" (sp?). What exactly does that mean?

Although the answer is to buy a bigger tractor, in all seriousness was wondering something. Is there anyway to "tweak" a little more power of of these little diesel engines? How could a guy get more dependable power from one of these little engines? Injection timing, exhaust, turbo, what?

Wood Burning Furnace, It\'s done...I\'m Warm! Just to follow up with a couple of posts from earlier, Add-On Wood Burning Furnace Install. and Add-On Wood Burning Furnace Install - *UPDATE* I've been burning non-stop for a couple of weeks and this furnace keeps things nice and warm, not...

I was looking for chains on tirechains.com and found these are the cheapest. I have a NH TC24DA with 12-16.5 R4's. The use would be snow removal from a steep limestone driveway, plus snow removal from family's concrete/asphalt (flat) drive next door. The other thing I was really needing...

A little over a month has went by since this post, Add-On Wood Burning Furnace Install. I thought I would show some pictures of the progress. The original plan was to run the Simpson Dura-Plus pipe up the outside wall of the house since I did not already have a chimney. So I went to the...

Since I bought this tractor I have hated where the exhaust exits. At the stock location it blew soot and fumes all over the loader bucket and arms and then ended back into my face. Then I had it changed to where it ran out the side under the loader sub-frame. I thought that would fix the...

As energy costs continue to rise, my wife and I decided to invest in a alternate and/or supplemental means of heating our home. After lots of research (mostly from this site), I decided to purchase a US Stove Company, Model 1600 from TSC. It was the last one in stock for about a 6 store radius...

The Mrs. and I are very seriously looking into the Central Boiler brand, model #CL4436. We have a two-story 2500 sq ft. home with 2 1/2 baths. We have a gas forced air "high efficiency" Trane furnace and a power vent gas water heater. The home was built 2 1/2 to 3 years ago. Normally we keep...

Who has the best deal on a 60\" Midwest Box Blade? After searching the posts, I've narrowed down to the Midwest brand of box blades. Does any one know where I can get a good deal on one? Corriher said he was out of them. Second choice is to plunk down my left arm and right leg to get a Woods...

I was sitting here relaxing watching the dog run over by the pond and garden. Then all of the sudden he began to sniff and run around in circles....I though he was going to crap, but he began to roll onto his back and wiggle around. I called him to me and of course I could smell you know what...

I don't know if you watch "Mith-Busters" on the Discovery Channel, but I think this might be a good one for them. Somewhere I heard a mith that drinking your favorite beverage (beer) from an aluminum can causes cancer vs. drinking from glass bottles. Obviously long-term drinking causes...

Since I'm home all the time now on injury leave from work and have been since before the 4th of July, it's seems that "someone" keeps jacking the thermostat way up into the high 70's because, "I'm cold!" Am I the only one that likes to live like I'm inside a freezer, plus have a fan blowing...

Where can I find a Shibaura exhaust manifold without an integrated muffler design that fits the engine on a New Holland TC24DA? I am planning a custom project because I have nothing better to do.

Here's the previous post: I did it real good this time!!!! The surgery went well but unfortunately it was the worst case scenario. The tendon was completely torn and the Dr. had to graft some muscle into the repair site......whatever, I just wanted to know if I could go back to work when I...

Does anyone have access to an exploded view of the exhaust manifold/muffler on the TC24DA? If so, could you post it so I could see it? Thanks

What's everyones thoughts on WIX filters? Not trying to stir the pot, just wanted to hear if they are worth paying extra for. I've been using them on all my vehicles, but not the NH. I use NH filters during warranty.

All I can say is watch out for the Hornets nests! I was running the bush hog and the ROPS hit a brach that contained a very LARGE hornets nest that I obviously did not see. As they erupted out of thier nest...the air assault was on. By the time I realized what happened, I had already been...

I miss having a tractor with vertical exhaust. My old Kubota had it, and it seemed more "tractor like". I have no overhead obstructions higher than the ROPS when folded to worry about so that is not an issue. Has anyone made any custom changes to their exhaust? It seems that the "truckers"...

Here's pics of my latest project. In order to cut off some of the water coming off the hill towards my house, I dug a trench 12" wide by aprox 150' or so. It ranges in depth from 20" to 40" obviuosly sloping toward the rear of the house. I used 1 4" perf. pipe wrapped in a sock that ran the...

I posted this in the NH forum but thought others would like to see it. I had a local muffler shop do the work. I was tired of all the fumes coming back at me after bouncing off the loader bucket, not to mention all the soot all over everything in the front. Now it exits out the left side...

I was tired of the black soot all over the loader and more importantly tired of breathing the fumes from the exhaust. It seems that the fumes would bounce off the back of the FEL bucket and get sucked up by the engine fan and blown back into my area of breathing. So....did some thinking and...

Just a follow up to my previous post about the broken seat mounting. The dealer ordered replacement parts and is supposed to call me when they are in. They (dealer) said that they would also "reinforce" the mounts so it would not happen again. I'm not so sure that I like the "let's reinforce...

I broke the seat where it mounts in the front. Has anybody else had this problem? The dealer of course is going to fix it under warranty. Being 6'3" and 230 to 235 lbs. I guess I lean back more than I thought. Anyways, you guys out there with TC24DAs' check your seat bracket mounting points...

Of course today mother nature is paying me back for the past week of 60-70 degree sunny weather, and today it seems more like November. So being bored I gathered some pics and thought I would post them for you guys to see. I've had the tractor now for almost a month and I am very happy with...

Thanks for all of the advice and replys to my posts, sure helped with making decisions. Yesterday the dealer delivered my new TC24DA with FEL. The NH backhoe and Woods RD6000 will be here hopefully next week!

How is the subframe mounted 756C BH unattached as to be able to use the 3-point hitch? How easy is it? Just bought one for a new TC24DA and it will be here in a week.

60\" NH 914A or 60\" Woods RD60 or RD6000 More second thoughts before the new one arrives. Thinking of last summer w/Kubota and MMM, I was constantly jacking up the tractor and fighting w/MMM every time I needed to BH or use the rear blade. Since the new tractor will have a FEL, I figure I'll...

New TC24DA coming soon, need advice!!! 756BH ???\'s On the 28th my new TC24DA is coming home!! Original plan was to get 12LA loader and the 914A 60" MMM with R4's. However the wife and I discovered MANY uses for the 756C BH. I know the BH and MMM won't get along, and I'm taking advantage of...

I am taking delivery on the 28th a new TC24DA w/12LA loader and 60"MMM-rear discharge. This will be replacing a Kubota B-1550 no loader and 54" MMM. I am going nuts trying to decide b/t the R4 or turfs! No price change, dealer will load the rears. The most use will be finish mowing but none...
