Hey, On a borrowed brush hog, I have what appears to be a shear bolt, but after slamming a rock, It didn't 'shear'. I got to wondering if it may be a standard bolt. Its marked with the letters 'KS' in the center of the head and has three 'hash' marks at 120 degree points ( 2:00, 6:00, and 10:00...

Seems like a simple solution that isn't coming to me..... I've installed many panels, but for my addition, I'll have a flush installation between studs in a wall. My question....since the panel is 14.25" wide, there will not be room for romex clamps at the box to secure the branch wiring. What...

I'm in need of some heavy duty - durable work gloves. I know .....real mean don't......blah blah blah But...I have been getting poor durability out of recent glove purchases. I had a pair of Ranchworx by IronClad that wore well, but the fingers wore through in a fairly short time. I recently...

Anyone else have trouble with the relays that serve the glow plugs ?? I had to replace one last season ( inconsistant closure ) and now it appears its going again. I'm getting chattering upon drop out. It's no big deal, since they're easy and cheap to replace. I'm just wondering if anyone else...

Hey all you <font color="orange"> ORANGE </font> folks. My bud has an older B2900 with a Kubota loader. I recently assisted him in reattching the loader after removing the front mounted snow blower. What a pain. We found that the left and right loader arm cylinders were not equal in length (...

Well, I've got it. After nearly 300 hours, I've got the coolant leak at the fitting next to the oil filter. My problem...I remember reading that you need a modified socket ( slotted ) to get over the nipple for the hose and then spin off the part. I've tried searching for info and can't seem to...

Maybe I should post this a CountryByNet, but lets try here first…. Let me start by saying I’m not a wood burner. I do burn fires in the fireplace, but I don’t heat with wood nor do I plan too. My reasons…too much mess, and with radiant floor heating, the woodstove’s convective and radiant heat...

In case anyone is curious about this kind of stuff, here's a link to the Mt. Washington, NH weather observatory website Mt. Washington. For those unaware, the weather up there is wild. Its only about 8300 ', but its local geography makes it NASTY. Yesterday they got under -100 F wind chill...

A few times, I've seen posts showing a brush ripper attachement. It had a short sawtooth head, similar to a sickle bar cutter, that was mounted to an extension boom. This attached to the three point hitch. In operation, it would be pushed into the brush mess, and then the tractor would drive out...

Anyone familiar with these ??? Comments. Tractor Caddy

Well, I'm rapidly approaching that 300 hour point...time to look at changing the blood !! Since I plow snow with my TC35D, I often operate it in weather that is well below freezing and occasionally it may see near 0 degree weather. I do start it in a warm ( not heated, but warmer than outdoors...

Hi, I recently installed a Tisco Hydraulic top link on my TC35D. The rear remote is a factory NH setup. I notice when using the box blade that the piston will move in and out with the force created by the movement of the tractor against the blade. If I twitch the lever, the problem seems to go...

Hi, I have recently obtained a 4000 watt generator head that was used only once with a v-belt driven from a pulley mounted to an old tractor PTO. I thought it would be nice to have as a backup or remote power supply. I plan on building a frame that can be attached to the 3-point hitch, but am...

Hi, I'm in the final steps of selecting a hydraulic top link for my TC35D. It will be primarily for boxblade use. My big question...what do you guys run for lengths ( min / max ). My stock ( manual ) link closes down to about 19 1/2". I had thought I wanted a hydro link that could go from...

First let me start by admitting that I have some weird ideas. Now the issue. I work out of a home office and often steal away for a hour or so and get a bit of mowing or bush hogging done. This break not only is a stress buster, but lets me keep up with the chores without having to dedicate an...

I Can\'t Make a Decision Hey, I thought I had my mind set on a 6'-7' box blade. I wanted the rippers to help 'pop' rocks from my field that was dozered last year. Most of the rocks are basketball size and smaller, but they are pretty numerous. I felt the rippers could bring them up and I could...

I know this topic ranks among the most posted topics here on TBN, but I have a bit of a decision to make and would like to solicit some opinions. My TC35D has a heavy duty 72" bucket with a bolt on cutting edge ( in addition to the small welded on edge or lower bucket lip ). My...

Anyone know anything about Sundown brand attachments ?? My local Farm Co-op just started selling them. They don't look too industrial, but not too cheezy either. Awful color though !!

Greetings, I have pretty much talked myself into a box blade to maintain my 1300' gravel driveway. I can't though, get myself to agree on spending the dollars for a Landpride or similar 'high-end' unit. I'm only seeing a 2-3 time a year use, and its all on process gravel. It shouldn't get much...

Hi, The talk over in the NH forum NH Forum Link regarding price disparity across the country got me wondering....what do you guys pay for power ( electricity ). This may be interesting ?! Here in Massachusetts, I'm currently paying $ 0.095 per KWH. I know some area towns ( with town owned...

Okay guys, Once again I turn to the collection of knowledge known as TBN. When I'm not attempting to work or doing the TBN thing, I serve as a Lieut. on our local fire department. We are currently considering purchasing a used fire pumper to serve as our reserve truck. The unit is a 1981...

This may not be the right spot to list this but I figure it will have the most broad coverage. I have pretty much decided on a box blade to maintain my 1300 ft gravel drive. It is made up primarily of 3” minus crusher run dressed with some 1 ½” minus stuff. Pretty good to work with. Experience...

Well it's worth a shot.... Been looking for a slightly used p/u truck. Found a nice F250, 2 years with low miles and well serviced. Fits the bill perfectly except no air conditioning. Can a/c be installed after the fact in a manner that is quite similar to the factory unit. Its a 2001 truck...

Anybody on DirectWay ( DirectTV ) sat. internet. What kind of speeds can I expect. I can't seem to find any technical details on the web sites. I know the speeds vary, but an average ??? I can only get to 44 k on my dialup on a good day !! Any news or thoughts would be appreciated.

Well, its finally cooling down a bit and it looks like my garage may not happen until next summer. So .... I'm thinking about block heat and hydro sump heat for my TC35D. I'm in central New England and we do get below zero. Does New Holland have OEM heaters ??? Any links to other options ...

On Sunday I finished a driveway grading project by spreading a load of dense-grade processed gravel. Yesterday I was walking to the car and saw a shiny new nut laying on the ground !! Yup .... You guessed it, one of my loader mount nuts was off and the bolt was hangin'. I've checked them before...

Has anyone mounted a fire extinguisher on your Class III Boomer?? I was hoping to mount a small 1A-10BC on the rig but can't find good location. Any ideas ??

Okay folks...I'm thinking of a small wire feed welder. I'm no pro, but I feel that with a few tons of srap steel, I'll get the hang of it. What I'm hoping to do is some light fabrication using angle and tube with nothing thicker than 3/8" ( sch 40 pipe ). Mostly just a hobby thing I guess...

A dumb question.... I'm closing in on 50 hours and looking towards the 50 hour service. The New Holland book shows the following to be changed: Hydraulic Filter, HST Filter, Engine Oil & Filter, and Fuel Filter. They don't list changing hydro oil... Am I missing something ?? Can I really...

Okay folks...time for a few battery questions. Mt NH35D is showing slight signs of corrosion in the battery area. The liquid levels are good in the battery, but I did note that the foam under the radiator is a bit chewed up and some bolt heads are discolored. Nothing too far gone .... yet ...

Beating It \'Til Its Dead Another hydraulic top and tilt question. This one is pretty general. Since it appears that the majority of TBNers that have them, love them...logic would say that the majority of tractor owners who uses attachments on their 3-point hitch would benefit from the...

Hey All, I am interested in adding a toothbar to my 16LA, 72" HD, but I'm not really excited about removing my bolt-on cutting edge. When I was at my dealer I noticed some funky 'toothbars' that appeared to be an extra large bolt on cutting edge with chunks blown out every few inches. They...
