Bought a front mount snow blower, for my TC30 with manual transmission. Dealer told me I would need a mid PTO. Bought the kit. Says (in the instructions. yes I read them!!!) it takes two hours to install the kit."How bad can it be", says I. Pull the TC30 into the garage (with no heat) and drain the trans down. Removed the left wheel and fender. Used a sky hook to hold up the cab.Then the plate on the bottom of the trans. When I opened the parts box, I realized the parts were not going to fit through that little hole in the bottom of the trans housing. I said a long string of expletives, that I didn't even know I knew, but I felt better, as I commenced to put things back together, realizing I had to split the TC30.
Went back into the house, after I cleaned up the garage floor (the drain pan wasn't large enough) and told the wife, there would not be a snow blower on that tractor, 'til weather (15F here in NY) warms up.
So, now I'm looking for a manual that will tell me how to split the TC30, that's what led me to this site. Have done older models (9N,600 and 4000) but never one of these. My years (74 of them) have taught me to read first, before doing. This project, has taught me to look into the parts box, after reading but before doing.
Thanks for listening, I just needed to "spout off".
