I am running a JD MX6 rotary cutter on my 5045D. Am I supposed to be able to fully shorten the toplink with all of the threads screwed fully in? As it is, I can not shorten the toplink enough so that the rear of the mower is a few inches higher than the front when lowered to mowing height. It...

I have a NH TD75D open station with about 1,000 hours. It was recently parked for about 2 weeks outdoors with the 3-point arms raised (it was being used on a wheel-lift pull disk). Now with the disk and remotes unhooked the 3 point will not lower. I should explain that the 3-point was only...

What's a good tool for blowing debris from tractor radiators, preferably amazon, ebay, TSC, etc.

I have a New Holland 820 TL loader installed on 75 hp NH tractor. I need to park the tractor indoors with the loader raised above another tractor. I've been doing this for 10 winters with no problems but as the equipment is aging (hoses, cylinders, etc.) I'm getting a little nervous about it...

I think I need to replace or repair the starter on my TD75. It's been acting up for the past year, where i would need to turn the key to start several times before it turns over. Eventually the key switch failed for the start circuit. But I was able to start it by jumping from the battery...

I have two 5 gallon plastic gasoline containers. One has about 4 gallons of ethanol free 91 octane in it, the other has 4 gallons regular 87 pump gas with ethanol 10-15%. Is there some way to figure out which is which since they got mixed up? I need to use the ethanol-free in the riding mower...

Does a TD75D have a start relay between the key switch and the low-current side of the solenoid? Or does the voltage to the solenoid come directly through the ignition switch?

I planted about 8 rows of pumpkins (1,000 ft long) 3 days ago with fertilizer in the hopper before I realized I may have made a serious error. At the end of last season (2018) we had to plant a few things without fertilizer so I had removed the little disk that places the dry fertilizer off to...

Got the TD75D out of storage yesterday and the 3-point will not lower. It worked fine last spring and early summer with 3 point disks, plows, mower, subsoiler etc. But late summer/fall it was only run pulling a transport wheel disk; the hydraulics for the wheels worked fine. All the time on the...

I'm trying to remove the alternator from a 1973 GMC pickup with a 350 engine. I've been able to loosen the long bolt that passes thru the alternator body and screws into the cylinder head to the point where the threads are loose in the head. However, the shank of the bolt itself is tightly...

I need to replace the gas/spring hood strut on my New Holland TD75D. Is this something I should get from NH dealer, or is there a source for generic aftermarket replacement? I think at the dealer it will be $30-$40. At present it provides no lift support at all. Can these things fail suddenly...

TD75 tractor had been acting up a little when turning key to crank position. At times had to hold and release a few times to get it to crank, now it won't crank at all, no click, nothing. Battery is charged and with key in run position horn and head lights work. PTO warning light turns on and...

The battery on my 2008 Chevy 3500 6.0 has been running down if I leave it parked for few days. The battery is about 3 years old, so at first I suspected that. But it seems to take a proper charge (takes 8 hours at 4 amp) and is OK if I use it every day or even every other day. So today I put...

I need to get a longer PTO shaft for my 3-point sprayer. The current shaft is regular 540 rpm 6-spline quick coupler on the tractor end and round 3/4 inch female with woodruff key on the implement end. The key itself is 3/16 x 7/8" long. The current PTO drive shaft is 20" long. I measured the...

I've located a Ford 2000 3-cyl gas that has an 8-speed transmission (4 speed with hi-low ranges). I think I've read on this site that the 2000 also came in a 6-speed, and that version ran kind of too fast for some tasks, even in 1st gear. Will the 8-speed be slower in 1st? I currently have a...

Do any of the manufacturers make a Utility or CUT that is available without 4WD but with a hydro transmission? Any size, 30-55 hp.

On 600 series what speed is the PTO turning when the engine is at 1000 rpm? This is 4-speed trans, non-live, gas motor. Ford 2000 with 4-cyl gas motor would also be the same, is that right?

I have to change the common sump hydraulic/trans/diff oil in my tractor. I have confirmed there is some unknown quantity of water in it. Right now the loader is installed, but I will be removing it very soon for field work and it probably won't go back on until fall unless a special need...

I have a TD75D that's about 5 years old/450 hours. It has a NH loader on it. This past winter I had 2 or 3 occasions when going out to plow snow where I could not shift either the range selector or the gear selector. This was after the tractor had set in an unheated barn for several...

I have to replace the 6 tires on a Chevy C30 dually that we only use 1-2,000 miles per year. They are currently tube-type with the retainer rings. The wheels are in good shape. The current tires are 7.50X16 bias. The truck is solid good condition. What to do without spending more than the...

I am looking to purchase one of these no-frills 2WD tractors. Are they more or less comparable in terms of operating features and reliability? JD seems to be heaviest, Kubota the lightest, with NH in between. Countries of origin India and Japan. Which one to go with, or in same series like...

There is a 4-car garage on my property approx 40 ft X 20 ft. The front entrance side has 4 sliding doors. It sits on a concrete block footing and has a poured concrete floor. I believe the building was moved to its current location about 70 years ago and was formerly a horse stable. It is...

I often see cautionary warnings similar to this when someone seeks advice about buying and/or repairing/restoring a tractor. I was wondering what the reasons might be that a person would get into a repair or restoration knowing full well beforehand that the cost of repairs will exceed the value...

Is it necessary to use good quality grease on an old disc harrow that has white metal bearings (not ball or roller bearing)? I find no matter what grease I use it only lasts for 1-2 hours of work before it starts squeaking and I have to grease again, or if I put my hand on a bearing and it's...

I have a 3-point sprayer where the pump is mounted on the sprayer and driven by a telescoping 1 3/8" PTO shaft. I have 3 tractors I can use the sprayer on, but the distance from the 3-point lift arm ends to the PTO shaft on the tractors are all different. The Ford 2000 Cat I hitch the shaft...

I have a TO-35 and the studs that hold the axle housing trumpet to the center section on the right hand side have been eaten away by the exhaust gasses from the tailpipe. On some it's just the nuts that are gone and maybe I can replace and tighten up. But on others half the stud or more is...

I have a pallet of pavers loaded toward the front of the 8' bed on my 1-ton pickup. The pallet is about 1 foot from the front of the bed and weighs about 3200 lbs. I need to get it to the rear to offload with loader pallet fork. I will remove the tailgate so I can get in close and also remove...

My friend picked up a 4-cyl diesel tractor that reads 901 on the hood. The trans is 4-speed and it's red and gray but looks to have been painted a few times. It has 13.6x28 rear tires and a standard wide front end. The numbers near the battery tray are eroded and may not be able to be read...

I think I remember someone posted a picture on here of how they added an additional shutoff valve down near the carburetor on the 4 cyl gas engine. What is the best way to do this? I have a 2000 gas with a sediment bowl on the carb connected with banjo type fitting. In the mean time I'll try...

What would be the current model to a 990 2WD? Any differences in engines, trans, wheels/tires, etc? Thanks.

Is there a Case IH/Farmall equivalent to the new NH Workmaster series?

I need to remove the alternator on a 1973 Chev 1-ton with 350 V8. It's the original and been on there for 39 years. I'm concerned about the bolt that passes thru the alternator, bracket and spacer and screws into a boss on the cylinder head. I gave it a pretty good tug with a 1/2" ratchet and...

I have some home-built single axle trailers that are used off road around the farm pulled by tractors at low 5mph speeds. They are built on old medium duty front truck axles from the 40's and 50's. Tires are like 7.00x20 and 7.50x20 on split ring rims. As the tires are failing I would like to...

I see that PJ and maybe some others make a "super wide" equipment trailer with drive over fenders and 102" width and 81.5" between the fenders. Is this a useful design? I sometimes have to load tractors that are a few inches beyond 81.5". Do you think these fenders are designed to take the...

I have a 2008 gas GM pickup with the factory dual battery option. Are these just 2 batteries connected in parallel, or is there some kind of isolation between the two? I had a dead battery situation (solenoid just clicks, maybe some light was left on). I connected the charger (Battery Minder)...

When I bought my new Chevy 3500 in 2008 I looked online at GN hitch prices and remember them running in the low-mid $200's for Reese/Drawtite etc and maybe around $300 for B&W. Well I wasn't able to get a trailer until now and it seems all the prices have gone up; I thought we were in a...

Should the inside dimension of a half-inch black iron pipe be the same as a half-inch galvanized pipe? The reason I ask is I'm building something for a gate where I need a 5/8" pin to fit inside the pipe. I was fiddling around with the pipe at the big-box store and it seemed the pin would fit...

In the owner's manual for 2008 it says for trucks with the heavy duty trailering package the fuses for the RED battery feed and BLUE trailer brake feed are installed in the underhood electrical center, but the wires are not connected. I'm not getting any brake output at the 7-pin connector, and...

My friend has offered to sell me his JD MX6 six foot cutter. I'm in NY and he's in PA, about 200 mile trip. I will have to pick it up. The overall width of the machine is 75" and it weighs 1050 lbs. I looked into renting an open bed UHAUL trailer but they are only 72" between the sides. I...

Are there any modern utility tractor models similar to the 30-50 hp machines sold in the 1950's thru 70's? I am thiking something comparable to an MF35/135, Ford 600,800, 2000, 3000, 4000SU 's etc. The features I would be looking for are good visibility to the rear, ie. you can look back and...

I notice on some tractors the 3-point lower lift arms can be connected to arms that go up to rockshaft either thru a slotted hole or a fixed round hole by relocating the pins. I guess the slotted connection is supposed to float somehow. How should it be set up for using a 3-pt moldboard plow...

A NH TD75 open station at a local dealer has a regular plastic tool box mounted on the left rear fender, but on the right fender is another open metal box of some kind, with a weather-proof electrical jack mounted to it on a bracket. What do you suppose this box and connector is/was used for...

I have a rectangular piece of property that is approx 2000 ft X 500 ft. It has been surveyed and there are concrete monuments at each of the four corners. There is also a monument at the approximate midpoints of each of the short sides and one of the long sides. All sides are straight lines...

Will I be able to handle a 3x16" JD 3-point moldboard plow with a 7040? It would be on level ground, easy soil conditions.

I have a 2008 Chevy 3500 with the factory dual battery option. Can I remove one of the batteries to use for something else? I really don't require dual bats in the truck. Anything I have to watch out for, which one to remove, what to do with cables, etc??

I've seen a new open station FWD 5425 on local dealer's lot. It has 3 remotes in the middle, two at the back and a power reverser transmission. The tires are 28" R-1, no weights. How much do you think I should expect to pay for this configuration? It's now considered a prior model, is that...

Will a TN75 4WD be suitable for a 3x16" moldboard plow? The plow is a JD with CAT 2 hitch. The fields are level/flat, relatively easy plowing, approx 20 acres. Will I need weights/loaded tires? :confused:

:confused: Are the TD75 and the M7040 more or less equivalent? I got very similar quotes for each from two local dealers. This would be for 4WD ROPS with mechanical shuttle; they are asking about $25K, maybe a couple hundred more for Kubota. Is this too high?; there is not much local...
