    Grease - How do you get it off

    Tried to clean up my tractor a little today, but my biggest problem is GREASE. The area that gives me the most trouble is on the loader. After a couple of lubes the old grease tends to build up around the pins and mixed with a little dusty dirt makes a real nice mess that seems to be waiting for...

    Been doing the 300 hr maint on my TC33DA. Got most of the items taken care of, but I can not find the front wheel drive fill holes. There is no bolt as shown in the manual.

    Starting a Greenhouse

    Just recieved my new greenhouse kit. It will be a 6x12 foot Rion barn style. The kit is all plastic and the parts look well made.

    Swisher mowers

    Thinking of getting a swisher T44 trailmower to use behind my mule and tractor mower. Questions, 1 - can you back up with the mower attached and/or offset, the long reach of the connecting arm looks like it may not work too well. 2 - some models come with the electric start, is it worth the...

    Oil cooler update Install (Hydro oil cooler)

    Finally got the parts and installed the updated parts for the Hydro cooler on my 33da. The total parts cost me close to $90 with tax. Real easy to install (-getting around the Fel) and it looks much better and safer. I think the new setup will last a long time. I'll never understand why they...

    tc33da loader

    Anyone have the spec's on the new loader, would like to know what it's lift weight is going to be. With the current 7308, the spec's show around 800lbs. Trying to figure out if the new loader with a quick attach setup would beat the 7308 enough to justify a new tractor.

    Tractor vs Loader

    Been looking at loaders on the net, thinking that they might do more of my type of play(Work) than a compact tractor. 99% of my usage is loader work with a little mowing other times. No plowing or other field work. My place is mostly grass with some rough areas, no big hills. Anyone else...

    Welder plus generator

    I'm starting to look into getting a welder for small jobs. The only problem is that I only have access to 110 service. To put in 220 would cost too much. Now I also could use a generator for those stormy winter days. Last year we went without power for over 4 days. Are the welders with...

    Rear Weight

    Just thought I would post a picture of the rear weight I use to counter the FEL. So far I have lifted full buckets of wet dirt and large rocks without any problems. The weights are about 70 lbs each And if I do need more, I think I could add 4 to 8 more weights. Being on a 3pt hitch makes...
