    Changing Fluid - Lower Front Axles - 21D

    OK, OK, perhaps I've missed something somewhere along the line... or maybe I just don't get it. In any event, I've gone through the archives and haven't found anything on this specific issue so here goes. How does one ADD fluid to the lower front axle housings? It's easy enough to drain, but...

    Front Spindle Greasing - TC 21D

    I feel a little naive asking this question, as I'd think the answer would be obvious... but dang if I've figured it out yet. My TC21D owners manual indicates in the "Maintenance & Lubrication" section that the front spindles need to be greased. I believe this refers to the steering rods and...

    Turf vs Industrial Tires

    Here I am, the new guy, and asking a lot of questions already... 8-) Anyway, wondering about the relative merits of Industrial tires. I'm considering a TC21D FWD, with a loader and finish mower (probably belly - though not decided). Uses: 80 percent relatively flat finish mowing w/some...

    NH Engines

    I'm new to this forum... and I'm looking at a TC21D. The NH dealer told me the name of engine manufacturer, but I'm not familar with the company and had never heard of them. Can anyone share with me their preception of or the general reputation of the engine builder or the Boomer engines...
