My 2011 F-150 started rusting the rear corners of the cab. Took it to a body man I trust, he said he could fix it but it'll come back in a year or so. He put it on a lift and showed me several holes in the frame and body where Ford didn't put any seals, and that allowed water to intrude. When...

Lots of good advice here on what bits to use (and not use). Just as important as a good bit is the way you use it. Learn how to calculate proper speed for drill size and material, and use a proper lubricant. Your drill bits will thank you.

Welded 3 hooks on a 1/4 plate, and mounted the plate on the top edge of my bucket. One hook in the center, and the outside ones in line with the lift cylinders. Used 1/4 U-channel underneath the bucket top edge as a back-up plate, and grade 8 bolts and tight washers. It isn't going to bend...

My New Holland has four hydraulic lines running to the back, under the right side of the platform, and I noticed them touching each other. My chipper has numerous contact points on the various lines. I had previously installed two of those plastic hanging strip doors in the barn, and had to...

I Have an aluminum 20' flatbed trailer. The actual bed is 18', plus a 2' beavertail. Rated 10K, weighs only 2050 pounds. The few times I've put my New Holland on it, it took up the entire 18', that's with the loader bucket all the way to the front, and a rototiller on the back. A 16' would...

Red squirrels can be a real issue around here. I have pine trees 15 feet from my roof, they'll get up in a tree and take a flying leap onto the roof. Then they head to the gables. They ate a hole through 2 of the 4 gables. I replaced the gables. They did it again within a week. I replaced...

This winter my 2008 NH 2310 (basically same thing as a TC40) has developed a weird issue. When its cold outside (less than freezing), the tractor will start fine after the 10 second glow plug cycle, idle for a few seconds, then the engine speed will quickly increase to over 3000 rpm. Not a...

Did the 100 hour service on my NH T2310, and removed the fuel filter bowl for the first time. In the bottom of the bowl were a number of very small pieces of a black plastic or hardened rubber. I removed the filter and inspected the small o-ring that seals the top of the filter, and it appears...

First time to change the HST and main hydraulic filters on my T2310 (TC40). Dealer says buy large jug of hydraulic fluid as I'm going to loose a bunch of it when I change the main filter. It is located inside the frame behind the RR wheel, accessible from underneath. How much should I...

Need to get a tiller for my New Holland T2310 (same as the TC40D). Been looking hard at the King Kutter II, either in 5' or 6'. The 5' won't quite cover my 67" rear track and it doesn't offset, and the 6' specs say it needs a 35-50 HP tractor. Although my 2310 is a 40 HP tractor, it only...

Ran out of fuel today. The fuel gauge read over 1/4 tank, and it was bone dry. Put in 5 gallons, had to bleed the fuel line to get started again. Any adjustment to the fuel level sending unit in the tank, or does the whole thing get replaced? Its under warranty, but would like to know what...

Ordered a set of pallet forks from them last Tuesday at 1PM. They were freighted up to me in NW Ohio, had them Thursday morning. Very impressive shipping time, and the forks look great.
