Thanks Folks, I thought I would have received a notification on the replies, so just checking back to update what I learned. Fortunately the loader frame data plate was still there and readable. 'MSL' was the key (and appearance). I figured out it is the 3rd of 4 (3 & 4 use the same kit, so...

Hello Folks, One of my bucket tilt cylinders started blowing massive amounts of hydraulic fluid. When under load (down pressure) or when returning to tilted back after being under load (more like it's cleaning out that side of the piston). There are 3 'bleed' holes on the upper part of the...

I bought a manual on Ebay. It is helpful, but there is a lot to be wished for in the areas I have used (primarily hydraulic related). I had to replace a starter, which means a bunch of hydraulics gets moved. Details were 'light'. When you look, get the part number and go to NH or Messicks...

Is it a TN70A? D? S? At least for the electric shuttle shift the clutch lever has a massive spring to make it feel like a traditional clutch. The spring is on the clutch lever and pivot assembly below the dash. The electric shuttle shift has an orange shifter handle. I would also inspect...

FWIW, TN55S is helpful when mentioning the S. Don't forget to grease the Supersteer bearing and the front drive shaft slip joint. No idea on your experience, but I just added 2 remotes, replaced the lift arm pivot seals and torsion rod (there are more correct terms, but close enough). I see...

There's a long thread about a guy replacing his master cylinders (yes, 2 of them) in here. No DEF on these tractors. Thankfully. Computerized, but only mechanical fuel injection.

I have an old IH. At least you can parts for yours (fortunately I only need to order a set of hammers and U bolts, should be able to use another brand).

The Operators manual may be the place you have to go. I did some repairs and added some options to my Ford/NH/Fiat. What terribly uninformative manuals.

I think you need to look around for local dealers. There are several good brands, but if you don't have any dealer near by it may matter a lot. Most/all brands in that range will require software to do more than a modest amount of work. My 1999 tractor did just to reset the clutch when a sensor...

I currently have a 55 hp tractor and a cheap Indian made 7' box scraper. Bent it excavating when I hooked roots. Stalled the tractor too. Used to have a mid 50s 21 hp Case. Bought a used 6' Gannon (Woods bought them and discontinued the line) box scraper. Always worked great (admittedly the...

Send your wife out shopping to buy new cookie sheets. Degrease it as best you can. Use the old cookie sheets under it and set the oven to 300 degrees or so (below burning the paint temperature; or clean it off first). Let it bake. Open some windows and turn on the stove hood. Accept the ass...

Ok, final part of my tractor update and repair odyssey. The 3rd function kit. I bought the one part that is NLA. The loader arm bracket for the feed through/bulkhead connectors (flat faced connector mounts). I thought I might save some money on the hoses and also make sourcing the correct (or...

Sounds like your linkage is loose, or something is slipping (maybe worn out due to being loose -- like a D or double D connection). You might want to go over the whole linkage. On mine there are external 'cams' that are large related to the draft control. Take a look at what you can find in the...

Assuming a similar system to my TN55, read the operators manual. Mine details some of the adjustments to make to keep it functioning correctly. I've not needed to adjust mine, but the adjustments look easy enough to do. I would at least look at it with the manual in hand. Mark where you started...

All I can say is it wasn't hard to do, plus I had to spend some quality time up close. A few things got lubricated that were long overdue (ball & sockets joints or spherical bearings). Once I had the correct parts information (odd that the regular parts manual wasn't particularly accurate) it...

Well that was informative. It took me close to 15 years to realize my loader had a 'float' feature, so I may not be a lot of help. My loader (NH TN series with factory loader) has the lift arms as primary (when I operate both the bucket and lift arms, the lift arms clearly get 'first shot' at...

Well, I installed the #3 & 4 remotes, no particular issues once I started. The first return pipe was the wrong pipe (bought an NOS pipe that had a tag attached saying it was returned as defective -- fingered out it was the standard 2 remote pipe). Check your parts in advance of disassembly (I...

I'll keep that in mind. I have been back dragging with the toothbar or the bare bucket edge for years (and the back of the bucket) but never had float mode. A buddy pointed out the value of snow removal with it (tilt the bucket edge up a bit). No 3D printer - yet. But as I understand it, it's...

Ordered 3' of all thread from McMaster-Carr. $30 shipped versus $40 each (x3) from New Holland. Will cut these to 3x 10" pieces. NH calls them 'tie-rod'. Through bolts that hold the remote stack together. https://www.mcmaster.com/catalog/130/3609/99086A126

Well, figured it out. After 15 years, and doing some research on remotes and what they look like (to identify one of my remotes should have float mode), I have finally pushed through the wall of "ludicrous speed". I pushed the joystick just a little further - into the zone that felt like I was...

FWIW, most of the tractor hydraulic fluid is sourced from an outfit in St Louis. Weird, I know. I replaced mine a week ago. The local farm and ranch store had 3 or 4 brands (Shell, Cam, and two others whose names escape me at the moment). Anyhow, one brand had at least 4 different types of...

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the parts I would need to add to a cab tractor (limited to 4 valves due to cab interference; the non-cab may be able to go higher). You can also have some (2 or 3) valves under the cab (later versions of this model series I believe). Not sure the...

All, I looked around to finger out how to change the boots on these (TN 55, 60, 65, 70, 75 cab models). All I learned is that others asked similar questions as well as a locking pin problem (locks the joy stick motion -- sliding collar on the joystick) but didn't list what they did or how they...

Finally found the time and weather to get this done. Starter, 3 point lift pivot arm ('flex shaft'), and miscellaneous filters. Still to put the loader bracket on, but I'm calling it a win. Somewhere I got the impression this was an 18 gallon hydraulic fluid change. No idea where I 'learned'...

Hello Folks, I have a TN55S with the standard 2 remote set up (adding 2 more soon). One remote has no float (I assume an 5161780) and the other is supposed to have a float mode (I also assume it is a 5180686). I am vaguely familiar with the float idea: an extra detent in the remote is supposed...

Ordered all the parts. Still not clear what the steering pump seal/gasket number is. Dealer worked with NH parts, it appears to be one or the other of: 500378759 or 5167989 (seems most likely). They are going to sell me both, then pay shipping to return the one I don't need. Okay. Just to have...

Ah, I saw Scout 80, vs 800.

Every 3-5 years regrease. Greasing bearings when there is not relief port means the grease has to escape past seals. Also, the grease separates. Why have a problem on the road? As good a time as any to inspect your wiring and brakes. It's just maintenance. Not as much harder than greasing the...

Now, about that Scout 80 -- which diesel?

A little mission creep: I have to drain the hydraulic fluid, so replacing the lift arm bearings and seals. Other deferred maintenance as well (fairly simple 'while the tools are out' stuff). I'd replace the cab floor cover, but it's NLA (and the TN75SA is a one piece that is not listed as...

I'd look above for a leak dripping down (follow the dirt). Whatever it is, it doesn't look like a huge issue. Might be just a loose fitting above, or spilled oil (not familiar with that machine).Degrease that area, then monitor it. After cleaning and using it a couple of hours, find something...

Recall, the hemi is sensitive to proper oil and in particular some years had cam & lifter surfaces issues. If.the truck works, I'd continue on.

Should be the same starter for a bunch of Case and New Holland models, including: tn55, tn60, tn65, tn70, tn75.

There we go.

Well, gave it the delco-remy tune up: smacked it with a hammer. Working for now, but this week is warming up enough to change it. Looks ugly. The hydraulic pump almost touched it & the fuel filter is right above it, loader mount next to it.

Know anyone with a 3d printer?

Hello Folks, the starter/solenoid appears to be dieing. It sounds like a box of rocks (vs the solenoid just skipping in and out -- not a gear meshing sound to me). Intermittent while cranking. Looking at the repair manual and at the starter (I haven't pulled the plastic wire cover/cap yet) it...

I bought the Express Steel standard pallet forks in 48" as well. I have a cheaply made combination round bale/fork combination unit. Got tired of converting it back and forth. My feet and back aren't worth it -- I had to grind on a fork when I got it anyhow. If you have a local feed store, etc...

If you can, jumper across the hot lead to your solenoid. We used to do this eoth large screwdrivers or wrenches, but you can find switches to. Neutral, brake key on of course. If it starts otherwise normally, inspect the wiring back to ignition switch. If no trouble found, I expect it is time...

I'm sure there is. I know what you mean though. Italian to Engrish. Written from the fiat dept. It takes me awhile to remember where to find things. All I can remember is there are 2 cables going to the remotes (mine is an early model, uses the rear remotes; iirc, a tn75 probably has temotes...

I do not have the extra remotes for top & tilt. They have been on my list for a very long time. Very slowly collecting the needed parts. It makes using your tractor very easy. I am a huge fan of remotes & crying once. The value of buying new makes that easier (maybe not cheaper). One other...

Fwiw, your battery is toast if it's 10 years old. You checked, you have a 12v available lamp lit. To check the brake you have to pull out the lanyard (well, the pin) on the switch mounted to the tongue. It's a good thing to test in any case. It may break. They can be bought at a lot of...

Folks, it is time to upgrade from my bumper pull ~16' flat bed trailer. Considerations for the trailer include: 3/4 Duramax truck, Titan 2.5" hitch, 9000# of hay or tractor (~6-7k#, plus a couple of implements), load unload with forks on tractor. Occasionally load a car or other awkward load...

I figure I am an example -- often on what NOT to do, but once in a while, I get to be the better example (note the lack of being a 'good' example). Here's a pic of Murphy (aka, MD or Monster Dog). Post knee surgery for a failed ACL (that's another reason he is lucky having Ellie May, aka Wife...

Hello, looked this up in the manual set I have (for the vineyard models) and see that it calls for adjusting the 'lo' clutch switch to close (presumably) a bit sooner (assuming the ECM hasn't failed). Since I don't have the 'remote control' unit to adjust the clutch, I made a stab at it and...

Hello, wife and I are starting the process to add on to our 1960's tri-level. 25' wide, about 2' wider on the upper story than the garden level basement (on one side). The addition will add about 16' of space to the upper floor. The goals are: master bath, closet space, larger bedrooms...

Hello everyone! Brought home a 90" wide (roller) flail mower. It is highway yellow, a 'bit' worn, and has an IH sticker on it. It also has IH and part numbers stamped into the pulleys. That is the only markings on it. One belt drive. Other than moving the pulleys back in (they are...

Well, had a funny thing happen to me. It's our coldest time of the year (I hope -- not always only a 2 or 3 week deal), and we needed to uncover some driveway and pads (parking areas) so it will (eventually) melt clear. So my wife finally gets some seat time in Blueford. Says she is worried...

Thanks in advance for your replies. I have an opportunity to buy a 6' flat bottom grapple bucket, QA. Has twin hydraulic grapples (two teeth each, left/right). Price is $800, presumably OBO. Have only seen tiny pics, expect to go look it over Tuesday. Any ideas or suggestions? Other than a...

Ok, a bit related to a posting in the NH buying forum. 1998 TN55s with NH loader (33LA?). Anyhow, the loader is a quick detach unit (like most), that mounts via posts on the sides of the engine. They mount to the bell housing and also to a casting bolted to (and) in front of the engine block...

Challenger/Massey-Ferguson/Agco products all pretty much the same. Presumably their might be minor options differences. As Cat owns Perkins, it doesn't matter what the name on the engine is. I didn't find much around me in dealers, but that is probably true of some other brands as well...

I was over on the hydraulics forum and got to thinking -- who makes the hydraulic valves fro NH (specifically the TN)? I want to add a couple of remotes and was wondering $$$ (less. less. less).

Ok time for the quiz: What does code 14 mean? Took my TN55s (cab) to a local independent shop for AC repair (charging). Picked it up it and initially it wouldn't move. The shuttle shift error lamp was lit. It went out, the icon with the manual and gear in it came on and started flashing...

Hola Friends! I figure there isn't much to add to this, but seeing as how this is a free post.... I found out Saturday that my AC is not working (it finally got warm enough to tell -- I have only had Blueford for ~ 2 months). Anyhow, 1998 Ford-New Holland Tn55 (yep, still says Ford on mine)...

Yipee! My TN55 has arrived. Got an hour or so seat time. Haven't a particular job for it yet, but I smoothed drive a bit. After operating this thing for that short bit I want to drive it to Sunday meeting. I saw the data sheets, read the reviews, and all that. But I was not prepared for...

Hello all, I am working delivery of my new (for us) TN55S. Yeah! Old Yellar (Case VAC14) will be getting the boot soon. Always worked, and I could always fix what ailed it. Will find out on the new Blue I-talian (Alfa-Lanc-errar-iat). Anyhow, it is an 8x8 power shuttle. I was looking over...
