I want to add a new hydraulic valve to my TC18 and believe I can plug it directly into the manifold/diverter valve. My questions is do I simply run a line from the Pressure Out Port (#2) to the in port on the valve and then run a line from the out port on the valve to the Pressure Return Port...

I have to replace the Hydraulic High Pressure Return Tube on my TC18. It caught on something while I was mowing which pulled it down enough to have the steering rod bend it enough to kink the pipe causing a fluid leek. The pipe I have to replace is #4 in the drawing. The previous owner of this...

Jed, here is a page from Woods Subframe reference list.

Well, with the snow gone, land dry and workable we got back to work last week. The rocks have been moved ground worked, most of the small rocks picked up, ground fertilized, and corn planted.

If you are asking about a backhoe subframe, here is Woods reference list for ford tractors. It look like the subframe for the TC30 will also fit the 1530, 1630, 1725, 1925, TC25, TC29, TC30 and TC33. I would imagine other manufacturer's subframes would fit a similar list of tractors. Here is...

Here is a "Truss Erecting & Bracing" instruction booklet. It gives you a few good tips on truss lifting, installation and bracing. It is from The Canada Plan Service.

We rented a compactor for a few days. They cost less than you think to rent and anyone can drive it back and forth over your fill.

There is a local winery with 25 acres of grapes vines. Years ago, I was surprised to here they they were going to plant grapes with our cold winter climate. There are also several more wineries south of me in the large clay belt east of Lake Huron. Welcome | Coffin Ridge Boutique Winery

Yesterday, we pulled and moved hundreds more rocks. Today we started using the disc. It found a few rocks in the 10 first acres. Much better than we thought. Still a lot more rock to dig up and move. Hope to have the entire 30 acres disced by tomorrow evening. After the entire 30 acres has been...

More progress today. We did not put a full day in but we did manage to pull and move around 200 more today. More than half way through round one. Remember these are only the rocks we can see from walking/driving around. Round two comes when the disc starts hitting the buried ones.

Can it be done in 10 days... we will see. These are not the kind of rocks you ask the kids to pick up while walking around the field with pails. These rocks are iceberg type rocks. You know the type. They remain hidden until you start digging them up. This will be a huge job. I expect to move...

Oh that is not my subframe, BTW. I got that picture off another thread here on TBN when I was planning on building my own backhoe subframe. I now have a Woods subframe on my L3130 which I purchased from another TBN member and I'd have to measure the pin but I would say it's diameter is between 1...

Thanks for another great build Dave. I do have a question about the saddle. I suppose the saddle will take much of the weight and other forces when the backhoe is being used. When I compare your saddle to the saddle on the Kubota or Woods subframes they seem much beefier. Do you think this may...

I found this grass catcher with hydraulic dump on-line wonder if anyone can identify it. I will be going to look at it this evening. I am thinking if it can be modified to fit the 3ph of my TC-18 it would be much better than using my old lawn sweeper.

I have a few Wallenstein attachments and here is a copy of the torque specs page from one of them. I assume they use this same page in all their manuals.
