I have a Bush Hog 742H backhoe on a NH TC33D tractor hooked to the tractor hydraulics. Even with the tractor rpms only at about 1100, the side to side backhoe swing it way too fast. Is there some easy way to slow this down? Some flow restrictor or something? Thanks! Jay

I want to order a CCM toplink this week and I am unsure of the hose length to order. The rear remote is very close to the toplink area. I have to allow some length for the link to move and also enough for good bend radius, but I don't want to have tons of excess. I would assume it somewhat...

Hi All, Anyone know if the first rear remote can be installed without removing the rear tire? The quick connects look larger than the ones on the rest of the tractor, anyone know which size and type they are so I can order some male ends? Doing the install either this weekend or next and I...

My TC33D has had various hydraulic leaks since it was new (three years - 220 total hours). Leaks have been - three fittings at the FEL quick connects, two at the distribution block, two on the FEL at the front, two at the FEL valve and three on the backhoe (Bush Hog brand using tractor...

Concrete Footings - What\'s too wet? I dug the footing trenches for a 36x48 attached garage addition back near the end of April with my TC33D (See attachment). The month of May had 25 of 31 days with rain around here. I had to pump out the trenches with a sump pump every few days as the rain...

I want to test the hydraulic pressure at various quick disconnect points. It there an inexpensive tester made for this or do I just make my own from a quick disconnect pair, tee and gage? Jay

It is VERY easy to knock off the low hanging springs on the 4x4 lock cable on the TC33D. Look straight down from the dipstick and you will see a bracket that has two springs connected to it: a large, heavy spring (1" diameter, 5" long, maybe 14 ga) and a small, light spring (1/2" diameter, 8"...

I have a TC33D with FEL. My question is one about hydraulic lag. This is most apparent in two different actions. When I use the "quick dump" feature of the FEL, I move the level all the way over and it takes a couple seconds before doing the fast dump, no matter how much is in the bucket...

I just had a front tire try to roll off the rim while using the FEL in mud. Dumped the load and backed slowly out of the mud. Tire has come off both wheel beads and is very muddy. Does anyone know the proper jacking point in front when you have SuperSteer? I don't think my floor jack will go...

There is a gap behind the pull out pins at the ROPS folding joint. It is unfortunately large enough for wasps to get in a build a nest. Not something you want so close to the seat .... Jay

I have one of those band type sawmills and I would like to make my own posts. I have plenty of long oak, but the problem is treating them for ground contact. I would like a ground contact life similar to PT type post. I think I would really only need to do the below ground portion plus maybe...

Due to my "great" dealer prep on a new TC-33D tractor, a fitting under the cover on the loader valve was left loose and subsequently shook off dumping 3 or 4 Gallons of Hydro Fluid all over the driveway. As the dealer is about an hour away and NOT wanting to give him more money, I have been...
