Thanks for the reply. I've already got a rear mount flail mower as well as an old rear mount rotary. I was just trying to get a mower out front in order to avoid laying down the grass/weeks with my tractor tires. I had been under the impression that most had low flow requirements. Oh well...

How well do these things work? I'm thinking of using one on the front of my NH TC45, with a flail mower. Any thoughts?

I'd definitely like to see the CAD drawings, if it's not much of a hassle to send them. Thanks, penfrydd

Hello all, I've got a New Holland TC 45DA tractor and recently acquired an old Woods 75 backhoe. I've had no luck finding a subframe specific to that combination (no surprise there). I'm certain that a few of you out there have built your own subframes. Do you know of any drawings of them that...

Hello all, I've got a NH TC45 DA tractor. I've had it for about 10 years. Last year I managed to get an older Woods 750 backhoe. The only time I've ever had a 3ph backhoe was an ancient Long on a Ford 4000, without a subframe. Yes, it was too heavy for the tractor, but that tractor was way...

I've got a chance to buy a 1971 500C locally. Not being a JD guy (as of yet), I'd like to know about availability of parts. Thanks

I've operated farm tractors for 62 of my 70 years. This is the first hydro trans that I've had. I didn't even know the thing had cruise control when I bought it (used). I must say, it's real nice to have for mowing pastures. However, it stopped working last year. I checked the fuse first...

Does anyone know if front and back rims off of a Massey 1547 will fit on a NH TC45DA? Thanks.

So many choices out there. I've got a 45 horse tractor. Looking for a 3ph backhoe. I'm not looking for a subframe mount. This will not get much heavy use. If I need to do that, I'll rent a mini-excavator, on which I have lots of experience. I've got my eyes on a WoodMaxx. They seem...

I brushhogging a field today. Cruise control was on. Suddenly it shut off. Battery charge indicator light came on. No lights lit up with ignition on. However, engine still was able to start. I assume a fuse blew for some reason. I'll look at it tomorrow. Any quick ideas as to where to start?

I'm not new to tractors. I have to say that I've never had any piece of equipment that accumulated more debris on the outside of the radiator fins as this one. Anyone else notice this? I don't see any easy solutions except perhaps a really coarse piece of burlap on the outside that can be...

I finally rebuilt the tilt cylinders and reassembled them. I also rebuilt the spool valve. HOWEVER...I can't for the life of me figure out with great confidence where the pipes go. I had to remove them to make it easier to access some of the rest. I haven't found any really good pictures or...

just trying to get into the system...
