    Main Fuse Blown and Fuse Block Melted - Help!

    So an amazingly fortuitous thing happened. As noted in my original post, my tractor broke down at the end of my driveway. I was working on it yesterday evening to replace the 40 amp main fuse holder with an inline 40 amp resettable breaker switch. A man (Tom) who just retired as a mechanic from...

    TC29DA Main Fuse Blown and Fuse Block Melted - Help!

    If the glow plugs were drawing too much power is that more likely to be from the glow plug timer relay failing or a failed glow plug?

    TC29DA Main Fuse Blown and Fuse Block Melted - Help!

    And if that is what in fact happened, then that should mean there is no permanent short, just a temporary short that won't be repeated as long as those conditions do not happen again?

    TC29DA Main Fuse Blown and Fuse Block Melted - Help!

    TC29DA. The 40 amp main fuse blew and melted the fuse block. Slot B of the ignition connector (12V Input terminal) also melted. The wire and wire coating are OK, but the plastic surrounding that particular wire melted. I tested the ignition switch and it passed all of the tests in the repair...

    3 Point Hitch Not Raising All The Way

    Is the piston and O ring you speak of numbers 10 and 36 on this diagram? https://www.partspring.com/catalog/product/gallery/id/121898/image/31034/ Also, will I really have to remove the lift cover from the tractor to replace that O ring? Thanks.

    3 Point Hitch Not Raising All The Way

    Is there any further testing I should / can perform to confirm this is the problem? Also, can you help me identify where these are on a parts diagram or the service manual so I know what I need to get and where they are? And, which piston are you referring to? Thanks so much.

    3 Point Hitch Not Raising All The Way

    TC29DA. I've never had any problems with the 3 point hitch until now. It won't lift the brush hog off the ground. Sometimes it will lift the arms a little bit (I hear the pump working when it does), but then it just stops and doesn't raise the mower off the ground. Sometimes it won't lift the...
