    wheel spacer drawing?

    Somewhere on the forum, in the past few months, I saw a drawing showing the dimensions of a wheel spacer that would fit a New Holland CUT. I have a friend that is a machinist and he said that if I got him the dimensions, he would give me a price on making a set of 3 inch extenders. It is a...

    Weight of TC26DA?

    I am trying to figure out how much my TC26 weighs as I believe it is too heavy for my trailer. My trailer only has a single axle with a 3500 pound rating. I put the tractor on once but was afraid to drive it due to the way it handled. The Manual says the tractor weighs 1600 pounds but doesn't...

    Wheel Spacers?

    Deere Dude, My whole property is pretty hilly. Nothing but swales and ravines. One hill that I cut drops 6 feet over a 15 foot distance. Even going straight up and down is a bit frightening.

    Wheel Spacers?

    Anyone use wheel spacers on their TC26DA. The tractor is only 4 feet wide and quite tippy on side slopes. I am thinking that a 2 or 3 inch extension on each side would help? Anyone with experience with them? Next question of course is where to get them at a reasonable price.

    Let's See Your Workbench

    Well You asked for it! I tend to look for things in the last place I used them. Drives my wife crazy. She is a super neat freak with everything organized. Needless to say I am not allowed in her sewing room and she stays out of my garage. There is a workbench or two buried under that stuff.

    Traction  Dish in or dish out?

    The manual on my TC26DA says that the rear wheels can be operated either dish-in or dish-out. I am wondering if anyone has changed their wheels around so and if it has any significant benefit... I noted that the tires (R4s) have a rotation direction marked on them so the wheels would have to be...

    old hydraulic fluid- What to do?

    I am about to change the hydraulic oil in my tractor and will end up with about 6 gal of used oil after changing it out. The question is what do I do with the old oil. Is it good for anything useful? Or do I just have to take to the dump recycling place. Seems like a waste to just have to...

    Loader  Float Mode operation

    Hi all, I have a question about how to get the FEL into the float mode. I have just acquired a 2006 NH TC26DA with the 12LA Loader. The book and the diagram indicate to push the control forward into the detent position and that the bucket will float. When I push it all the way forward it...
