I have a block heater. Barn is 200ft from the house. 100 ft line of sight. To avoid walking out there twice I rigged up a garage door remote to pick an alternating relay. One momentary press turns on block heater and a light bulb in the barn. 2nd press turns them off. In addition a momentary...

Anybody ever see a tool to pull back the collar on a driveline while pushing the whole thing onto the spine shaft. I find it harder to do as I get older. Particularly from one side with one hand pulling and one hand pushing. Some implements I can step inside and then it is easier but some ...

Hey Rick, Do you know if there is a port somewhere on the transmission I can get a temperature sensor screwed in? I have a diverter valve on the front. oh yeah TC34DA. Run it for years Snow plow and Top grapple on the bucket. Lately I have built a front attachment for an auger drive and...

my tractor has 2 sizes of drain plugs. 12mm and 16mm. The factory seals are rubber/metal. dealer prices are nuts. I looked for Dorman equivalents but at the time I could only find fiber ones. What the heck I put them in. Now I worry. The engine will get changed again next fall, I...

It took 27 days for an oil sample to go from New York to Indiana. First class mail $4.70. I think they waited to fill up a hazardous material truck. At least it got there.

Pictures show braces under the tractor from the tapped holes in the transmission to the top of the stringers

I had a factory step on my TC34DA. Going up worked great. Coming down I would have to back down if I wanted to use it. Di not bother me until I had a knee replacement. I never backed down , not much room to turn around. Now I did not want to land harder on my good knee than I had too. New...

My tractor NH TC34DA is 10 years old . It was new and came with a NH SSQA. The last couple of years when I roll the bucket all the way forward it fell off sometimes. I roll it that way because I have a grab arm that closes over the bucket. If I want to grab something big I have to roll the...

I have owned this thing for 30 years. Built 2 houses , both 12 acre lots, 2 septic systems. one was a pump discharge to the field 500 ft away. A barn , all the driveways and other assorted activities. Some repairs anong the way . Front king pin broke, cylinder head nut fell off inside the...

I have a MF tractor with a Perkins A3.152 Diesel Engine in it. It has a CAV DPA Injection pump. It has 2 Bleeder Assemblies One in the body and one in the cover. The cover base screw broke off in the cover. I got it out with a left hand drill bit. Came right out and it showed a corrosion...

I have been using the skid steer quick attach on my New Holland TC34DA for 10 years . Last year both the bucket and the forks started detaching when pulling backwards. It appears the locking pins were hanging up ,not completely extending. Something must be slightly bent but I cannot see...

The first test of the Brine spray system. It is just starting to snow 2-4 predicted. Not enough for a real test but we will see. The first picture is the tank and sprayer nozzle on the front of the plow. It is a broadcast nozzle so where it is covers the width of the plow. The next...

All right Here are pictures and an update on my research into melting ice It turns out anything that gets sprayed has to go down before it snows or ice deposits. The solution gets sprayed down and the water evaporates leaving a thin film of what ever salt or sugar you have chosen. Temp is...

I have a NH TC34DA. I plow 700 ft of driveway and 3 parking spaces all flat blacktop except for a little pitch up in front of a two car garage. I approach the garage straight in and have to turn 90d to the left as I approach. I use R4 s all around. In the middle of a 600 foot straight...

Absolutely I did exactly that for the same reasons. The rear disconnects you can see in one picture . Same valve as ref above I think. The front I don't remember what I did . I sold that tractor in 2007.
