    Transmission Sight Gauge Issue

    Seems to exactly be what happened to me. I apparently lost much less fluid than I thought then grossly overfilled to compensate never catching in the tiny sight tube just how gross. I’ll definitely go with dye. Thanks all for the replies.

    Transmission Sight Gauge Issue

    I asked this question over at "Owning/Operating" but got no hits. Hope I have better luck here. The attached photo is of my transmission sight gauge and I'm trying to determine if the trans is overfilled or low. This is a TYM T1003 (100hp) and there is no dip stick. I don't remember if...

    Overfilled Trans Fluid?

    The attached photo is of my transmission sight gauge and I'm trying to determine if it's overfilled or is low. I don't remember if there's an interior tube within the square acrylic outer tube (or case) or if the golden trans fluid is supposed to fill the entire square case. I had a cylinder...

    Name That Warning Light

    Thanks, ptsg for confirming the air filter blocked icon. Had no clue about the brakes as they have always been locked. On my hilly farm having them unlocked at an inopportune time would indeed promise a "very very bad day".

    Name That Warning Light

    TYM 2015 T1003C (100hp) tractor. Been running this machine since 2016 and never had this warning light (the red, downward facing arrow) come on until last week. I was bush hogging acres of tall, thick weeds with white, fluffy seed heads. This white fluff clogged my hood air inlets and...

    Flail Mower Recommendations

    I’ve got the Titan 86” offset flail mower. Parts can be an issue as everything is coming from China, but customer service has been superb. At the time I bought it a few years ago the mower cost 1/6th what my 15’ Bush Hog cost, chopped just as easily thru heavy brush and saplings as the batwing...

    Intimidator side ×side anyone own one

    I just bought a used 2019 Intimidator EV with only 26 hours on it. The previous owner loved it but it didn't fit his needs. I was specifically looking for an EV to get around my property and other than Polaris, this is it. It's a beefy machine with a steel bed, 27" tires, electric dump, 4x4...

    Loader  Zerks for 100hp TYM/Mahindra Loader

    I have a 2015 T1003 TYM and I'm posting here as well as it's the identical machine to Mahindra's model of the same year. Anyway, does anyone happen to know the size of the zerks for the loader? Due to their recessed location in the loader arms, I snapped off a few nipples attempting to remove...

    Loader  Grease Fittings for T1003 Loader

    Anyone happen to know the size of the zerks for the T1003 loader (LT900)? Due to their recessed location in the loader arms, I snapped off a few while greasing this past weekend. I figured they were a standard size but that doesn't appear the case. The stock zerks fit a 10mm socket but...

    Rotary Cutter  Do Batwing Mowers Increase Lateral Stability on Hills?

    I've got a 100hp, (9K lbs) filled rear tires tractor pulling a Bush Hog 2215, 15' batwing. For now I'm mowing about 6 acres of former horse pasture on a slope that varies from 5% to 20-30%. As I'm a fair chicken on slopes, I usually run straight up and down on the steepest sections, but that...

    First Plow of Season and No Heat!

    As (bad) luck would have it, I take out my TYM T1003 today to knock down the crusty snow/sleet/freezing rain mess we got here in the northeast this weekend and found out my cab has no heat. Machine's a little over two years old with 405 hours on the engine. Heater worked fine last winter but...

    Chinese-Made Flail Mower Parts

    Got a new, Chinese-made, 7.5' offset flail mower that is missing a few parts and wonder if anyone can help steer me in the right direction to find them in the U.S. Some of what's missing on this HD mower I can source from 3rd party manufacturers/distributors here in the U.S. ie. hydraulic...

    Best Guess for PTO Shear Bolt

    I've got a new Chinese made, heavy duty 86" articulating flail mower that sheared a shear pin when I hit a (hidden by tall weeds) deteriorated round bale. The hammers stopped dead and I saw billows of white smoke coming from the gear box/belts area. At first I thought I destroyed the gear box...

    TYM T1003C Loader Issues

    I've got a 2015 TYM T1003C that will no longer curl and has limited lift. This occurred after a day of grapple work lifting and moving heavy rocks. After disconnecting the grapple I noticed the problem. There are no leaks or busted hoses but I did notice a disconnected hose at the valve that...

    What Type Remote Hydraulics Do I Have?

    Top link cylinder does have a check valve. If the other detent positions are SCD, the valve is way out of adjustment as I blew a hydraulic hose when I first bought the tractor and it did not return to neutral. Ever since I've manually returned to neutral. There is no spring return to center...
