Thought I'd post an update - due to extenuating circumstances, we were not able to get back to trying to fix the tractor until yesterday. In the meantime, my BIL has been "jumping" the starter to use the tractor. We replaced the key switch and it did not help. We ended up installing a push...

Our tractor was being used to brush hog the field. It began to show a little rise in temp so my BIL drove it back to the barn to clean the radiator screen - it was covered with dust and five debris. At the time he parked it, it was running just fine. He turned off the tractor and cleaned it and...

If you are near Christmas or Bithlo - you're right, there is not much out there - even the St John's River is more like a ditch where it crosses Hwy 50 Have you checked with

We have a TC40D with FEL and BH. We were using the tractor when, suddenly, with no warning, the FEL quit working. No response to the control at all. There does not seem to be a broken line and no fluid spill was seen. I tried to back the tractor out from where I was working since the rake on...

I found myself in Williston today and took these pics at the RK Assembly Plant As you can see - they do have RK tractors and one of the RK mobile trucks. In fact, with that truck and trailer it would be simple for them to go and get Gunny's tractor and bring it back to see what is wrong.

RK has two assembly plants in the US that serve the entire chain. From the RK Tractor site The plant in Williston in in the old Dixie Lily building located at 12 NW 5th Place ... it is located across from the Circle K that sits between Hwy121 (to Gainesville) and US27/US41 (to Archer) You can...

The connector on the back of many vehicles that people use to connect their boat lights to their vehicle seems to be waterproof enough to work year after year ... yes, I mean the 4-pole trailer connector. They also make that in a two-pole version For what you want, this would be waterproof...

as opposed to Bringing the assembled tractors 30 miles to the store would certainly be better than shipping them in from 836 miles away Thank you for the info on the pedals. The NH TC40D also uses the two pedal system. I have also seen tractors with a single rocker pedal and have used...

The output shaft appears to be #6 and the diagram only shows one bearing (#8) although there are two additional bearings (#2 and #4) on the PTO shaft (#3) Would all these bearings need to be replaced? We have not removed the PTO to do a visible inspection. Is there any other way to determine...

We have a NH Workmaster 45 2W Gear Drive that makes a slight noise when the PTO is engaged. The noise is not very loud and almost sounds like a slight "whistle". It only makes the sound when the PTO is engaged and even then, more so when it is under load then just engaging it to listen for the...

We are looking at substantial repairs on our NH TC40D with FEL/BH It seems JD no longer makes the 110 and Kubota no longer makes the L39 So, as tractor backhoes go, I would rather one with a "turn around" seat instead of a separate seat for the hoe. I do not want a 3-pt hoe. Still looking in...

On the way home with the tractor on the trailer we lost a tire. Didn't have a spare. It took us a while, but we ended up pulling the other front tire off the trailer and, after re positioning the tractor, headed home with tires only on the rear axle. We were 45 miles from home and drove no...
