Nothing has been worked on or modified. I have been moving a lot of stone etc. With loader since i bought. Only makes noise at range limits. Everything works as normal. I did stall tractor twice when lifting stone.

Maybe we should be looking at alternatives to plastics, oil based lubricants etc. Google search shows they are out there as far as lubricants go. At a glance: Hydro Lubricants made by Klüber Lubrication Innovative technology: water as a core component with a cooling effect. Reduced energy...

On my New Holland TC29D at normal operating temps, fluid filled, there is a squawking noise, much like the squawking noise when cold, that happens when the bucket is curled all the way up at it max. or when it is curled down to max. (edit, I don't normally raise or lower bucket to max. but tried...

If I were to say newnewable, I would meant that the sun is renewable. If that ever goes away, game over for all...

MAX-24-Dean No worries, that wasn't directed at you anyways. I bought silver coins as an investment, couldve sold a little bit ago when spot was around $30. I held off, and still think it will go into mid 30's soon. But coins are tough too. I bought at $17.85 and when spot was around $30...

I have the manual for a TC29D and it covers TC33D. I'm not up on the terminology, so if you could explain better what you need, I will see if I can help. Also, is it HST or gear? Yes, it makes a difference...

In this thread, or all threads I've contributed to concerning solar, I've never stated solar would replace fossil fuels as an energy source for all. I have stated that I was tired of paying for electricity that others produce, leaving them in control of how much I pay. I went solar because it...

You'd think the price of silver would be climbing higher than it is.

There is a lot of speculation, rumors, misinformation on solar. Is it perfect? No, but nothing is. You can find something negative about anything. My solar system (52panels) lost arguably 0 efficiency after 12 years or so. I'm not sure how panels are tested then rated for maintaining their...

Where do you come up with solar being junk after 10-15 years? Link???

I did get sticker shock, and then I remembered Bora. Not a metalist, but what I've read sounds impressive, aerospace materials. Not China crap for sure.

Thanks, its good to know I'm doing somethings right, 4x4, slow on uneaven surfaces (side to side), bucket down as close as I can without scraping. I did just swap tires, easy enough. I only drove from drive way to barn, so no clue if it helped. At this time, i have a lawnmower in barn too, so I...

They do. I'd have to call for my specific model, but went with Boomer 33, figured it would be cclose enough for estimate. 3" steel $218 3" Aluminum $195 All made in house

Thanks, I will check them out. I have BORA's on my Ranger, love how they changed the handling/look. Top of the line materials.

Thank you. That I can deal with. Even cutting my lawn I get that uneasy feeling. Not as bad as adjoining property I want to buy though...

Titan is what I ended up with. It is rated for 2000#, although my TC29D is not capable of lifting that. Happy with product. Vevor was the mistake purchase...

Where was this info when I was buying mine??? lol

Since I rarely have a use for forks, I bought the cheaper ones. Mistake... They have to be tourqued down very hard, and even with stabilizer bars, they shift. I torqued so hard, the bolt threads crushed. Cheap bolts. The company refunded my money minus shipping and I got to keep the product...

Just measured the rears, they are 60" outside to outside. If I reversed rims,inside to outside, right to left I would lose 1", so the rears are at their widest. The fronts are at 52". I could gain at least 6" with an inside to outside, left to right configuration swap. After reading an old post...

Thanks. I did run in 4x4 to help maintain traction at all times. There are some areas where up/down isn't possible due to all the changing slopes. I've read, now going to confirm that I can swap tires side to side to give a wider stance as the rim plate isn't centered. I'd have to look to see if...

I have a weedwacker with the wire strand shaft. I have cut down literally over a thousand maple saplings over the last couple years, mainly 1". Some up to 3", but had to approach on two sides. I used the circular blade with chainsaw teeth on it. Used a chainsaw file to clean/sharpen up teeth.

I'm looking to make my NH TC29D HST more stable on sloped land. I would just be brush hogging twice a year or so, currently an old 10 acre hay field, but mowing parts of it to use as walking paths. I currently have a FEL on, wheel weights and while "cruising" a piece of property I'm looking to...

Thank you.Order placed...

Thanks. Yeah, I guess I should have been more clear, looking for the least expensive place. Spotty internet up here in the mountains...

I agree with you on how it works. I still think its a pain in the ass using it.

My New Holland has a lever to depress to get lock in. It's a pain in the ass, as it unlocks when torque is taken away from wheels. I find I'm just leaving my heel on it, which isn't comfortable at all...

I see 63 viewed, but no replies. Just bumping to catch a New Holland owner...

Does anyone have a sevice manual for a New Holland TC29D they could share digitally? Or know of an inexpensive site to purchase? Specifically looking at replacing HST front seal???

I would hope it doesn't come to that, but I have a tractor to bury it in case I had to.

Is that highway legal? :eek:) Nice score.

Mine started as a 302, three on the tree, but I changed out to a 302, .090 over, medium cam, 4 barrel, custom headers and exhaust. that was a bad ass in the day. Wasn't the best, but was never bested... (done back in my youth mechanic days)

The Jeep Cult has some strange rituals. Almost as bad as the Jimmy Buffet cult...

I had a 73, damn tough automobile, I tested it every weekend...

My Pop died in December 022, when I called the VA to stop percriptions etc. they were very helpful, gave me all sorts of info. When I called back fo burial assistance, they said they had no record of him. A letter they sent to me had the middle initial wrong. Called back, what a nightmare. Never...

I worked at a car dealership back in the 80's, and hated most warantee work. They didn't pay for diagnostic time, which was big for me when I was chasing electrical gremlins. Most of the payout time was pretty hard to reach too. We were paid flat rate, so there was no pay for standing at the...

You seem to be wanting fire prevention, not fire extinguishing, so 1/2" would do the job. I would do testing on hole size, placement etc. to be sure you create something that will perform as you like.

One reason is there is too much easier money to be made.

Mine came used with used tractor. One is bent to hell. I have hit rocks sticking up (hidden by brush) but damn, not to have bent it like it is. I'll be replaing once I find a socket big enough...

woodhous, any pics on your repair? Is it a HST? I have a pretty good leak, have mechanical ability and tools, but a failing body... something I should hire out? There was a small cork in drain? hole and when removed, case was filled with lots of fiberous sludge, like someone packed grass etc...

I bought a JD lawn tractor from Home Depot in 1998. Had dealer sticker on back. Used the hell out of it. 3/4 acre of lawn, surrounded by trees. Double mulch the bag. Pulling cart full of all sorts of heavy stuff, aerater. Not sure how long they are suppose to last, with or without the abuse I...

So, you don't have a toothbr, but don't THINK it would help? I have one, it helps with the breaking of surface tension, which is one issue...

This is the second time I've moved 12 ton of 3/4" gravel. First was with a 24hp with standard bucket. Could not break surface tension and get a bucket load. Now, 29 hp with the EA toothbar, so much easier. Moving compacted dirt as well...

TC29D, had no glow plug light, it was the relay...

If it's fine at cold temps, chances are that battery/starter are not the issue...

New Holland tc29d... 29HP. Same issue. Added an Everything Attachments toothbar, changed the world... Best investment for a sub...

Free shipping/free returns wwith Amazon is a plus. I do order from thm, just do additional searching because of their rising pricees. "Heard" they are increasing Prime membership. Just the sign of the times...

I've noticed this for over a year. They build up their client base with Prime, lower prices etc. Now that they have a strong foothold, they are raising prices. Buyer beware...

Sorry, should have added more details. Yes, it operates as it should, when it should, aside from the now loud squealing/screeching. I don't want to mess it up anymore than I have. Hydraulic fluid in normall operating range.

I own a New Holland TC29D, and was running loads of soil from field to yard. As I was scooping, I stalled the engine while scooping. Now hydraulic pump makes screaching noise when limits hit. It sounds like when its very cold out and I use the FEL. (told that was normal for NH when cold) What...

Absolutly does not drop even close to that. An inch I'd say. Too much drop "lightens" the front end, and, steering...

2019 Ford Ranger, tows up to 7500#. I've towed 5k and barely knew it was there. No squat at all. Look at what tongue weight is, IIRC, should be 10% of tow weight. Shouldn't cause squat

unless it is cold weather and more than 3" or so. (just a guess) but once you clear the bottom, they heat themselves. More than 6" or so, (once again a guess) it hangs up at the bottom due to gutter. But, yes, it does slide off.

Yes, my previous home. 52 panels. Not fun, but its one of those things you do, like snowblow driveway etc. but since I was collecting sun, I might as well.

I used a roof rake to clear my roof of snow, not impossible at all for me...

Brown water is local water, and local water is fresh... Unless you live in Detroit. :(

I'm not sure who started that myth, windmills and solar are no recyclable... I believe it was 6o Minutes this past Sunday that showcased a company recycling both. Like most recycling, it starts out slow, but it has started and it seemed from the segment, it is very doable...

I stayed out of this since my earlier posts, but... I didn't install a 10.5k system, that created 15M each year to save the planet, I did it to control my energy costs. Rates in CT always climb up. Eversourse is in the business to make money. I even invested in them 50 years ago, reinvest...

Wicked Toothbar RIPS!!! Love mine...

Dec 2020 for our home it was $325 and the excavation guy was surprised how much Covi* raised the price. Oct 2021 for our garage it was $350 No way around those prices, as the two companies are the only close enough ones. The ones further away are just as busy.

I recently paid about $335 ayard. Two suppliers are running at max, so they get what they can...

Not sure where you live, but that is not the prices for many others, myself included in the states of CT and VT. If we had those prices, I wouldn't consider solar. Heating a home with heat pumps, runs about $4 to $500 amonth during the cold ones...

I have to somewhat agree with you on windmills. We have manybe 12 or so I can see, as the crow flies, maybe 2 or 3 miles away on top of a ridge. We are on top of a ridge as well. Maybe 10 miles as crow flies there are more. I love nothing more than sitting out at night, watching stars and...

It's possible. While living in CT, when they were proposing the lottery, casinos, scratchers etc. they claimed the majority of the money would go to education. It pretty much went into the general fund, where some did go to education, but no more than they had done previously. just gave the...

I did much of it in late winter. Little snow that year, ground frozen. Ideal for pulling

Did the same, but with 4x4. That's all I had to use, and they were too long to carry crosswise. Chains definately needed on the hill.

If you are talking about fiberglass, then yes, squishing it reduces its R value. Air in insulation is the factor. Rigid insulation is an addition of listed R factor when you add rigid to rigid. 10+10=20

Even though I never heard of rust lock before, I've swore too often at rusted on nuts/bolts to do it intentionally.... for any reason. :o)

When finishing off my walkout basement, I used 2" foam board using can foam to seal edges and joints. R 19 fiberglass after that. No issues so far, but then again, once wall up, how would you know? Went that route compared to spray foam, $8k vs <$1k I thought only closed cell spray was to be...

Just curious, why was faom taken out so often? I used a foil backed bubble wrap, 1/4" thick to insulate my garage doors. All the companies boasted R8, doubling up only brings to R10.

I never said grid tied battery systems. There was an "or" between them. English 101 starts next week...

I had a 10.75w system. 52 panels, produced 15M+ a year for 9 years, then we sold home. I used to track and create spreadsheets with all the data. I miss those days...

Always the ignorant that like to stir the pot. You must be a barrel of laughs at a party. Look up ignorant before you respond...

Maybe you don't understand how solar works, which might explain your position. You either store it in batteries, or you do net metering. Maybe educate on the subject before you start blowing smoke...

There are several panel manufacters in USA. Built in USA is more costly. So, what about only giving incentives to made in American products if we are to continue giving incentives? But you will always have the nay sayers, those refusing to change, spreading falshoods or not totally telling the...

It could be a vaible solution for our nation. There is no solution where it comes about by "flipping a switch". That seems to be a major complaint, not enough places to charge a car etc. Yes, there are some major road blocks to alternative energy, but luckily, we have time to work them out...

I'm seeing more and more towns either adding solar to their rooftops, or building a small "farm" to offset costs. Our former town could have saved even more money by installing heat pumps or geothermal, but townsfolks were afraid over "horror stories" they were reading online. Fear the unknown...

Most gas stations around here offer a discount of .10 a gallon if you use their credit card. Rare to see a cash discount. My card offers me 2% cash back on gas. Not a promotion.

Not the best aurgument you have there, you can make more money with investing. I'm sure you can. That is not what having solar is about. It is about controling the rising price of electricity, no matter how it is produced. I imagine it could be argued that the price of electricity could easily...

when it comes to solar, what are the alternatives to buying Chinese made products?

When we bought, I looked at multiple companies, and lease vs. own. Lease was nothing more than a discount, like .06 per kwh, and only during daylight. After that, it was full price. It wasn't explained to me that way, but my research showed me that it was true. I dodged that bullet, but many...

For us, when we sold, the prices were inflated, because people didn't want to live in cities. The town would have been rich taxing the homes at that rate.

As I stated in my oter post, I figured the breakeven without the incentives. Hard to be exact, but it would have been paid off around 10 years. That is NOT a lie. With incentives, about 8+/- years.

Same for farmers???

Once we made the decision to install solar, nobody could say anything to change our minds. With that said, we didn't want to come home to an ugly looking set up on our rooftop, so we opted for all black panels, and it blended in much nicer than the silver grid panels. We lived in a working class...

Not sure of the percentage, but for us, it was of the total cost.

There are 2 property values, what the town says its worth, and what the real estate market says its worth. IMHO, town values are not dependent on location. Unless you live in a area that has a "view" tax. But I doubt they would compensate either way to that view...

I had solar, even if you take away incentives, as you should in calculations, our break even was (estimated) 10ish years. After that, FREE electricity. Yes, FREE, because the savings PAID for the system. The add to that, the payback when you sell the property. In our case, having a solar system...

No, it isn't. My Ranger has a 5.5' bed and its still challenging. And so what if all you see is empty cargo areas? Are you the green police all of a sudden?

Whether you pay with cash, credit card or debit card, self control is the key to financial stability.

In the 80's when ATM cards were all the rage, I got into so much trouble using them. Alcohol played a part. Going out, stop at ATM, not drunk enough, go to ATM. Trouble was, not balancing checkbook. Tore up and never looked back. I don't carry cash, except for emergencies. Buying dinner is not...

taxes pay for roads, i pay taxes, so.... My point is, only the family that gets subsity for solar benefit, not all people. I don't see how I'm cherry picking.

Yeah, that's the I got too. Like shark teeth...

I can say one WORKS really well on my tractor. I don't have lot of disposable income, this was a great investment. Up'd my game for sure...

Thanks for info. Once spring gets here I will be able to remove one.

Never saw snow flies before, not sure if we have them in VT. Still at least 2 1/2 feet of snow on ground, with flurries most days.

I'm pretty good at finding parts, but... I have a 60" Nortrac brush hog and need replacement blades. Northern tool was 0 help. Are brush hog blades universal, other than length, width? Suggestions?

After subsities of about 30% or so, payoff for system that provided 100% of our needs, was 9 years. Figure another 3 or 4 if no subsity. When we sold our home, solar provided an increase in sales price more than enough to cover initial outlay. Yes, making the utility our battery was key...

As a former solar houshold (10+ years) in CT, we were paid a much lower amount at the end of our "year" for unused power it was maybe 1/4 of full price. I agree with that. Why should I profit like the power company, forcing other users to subsidize my system? Going rate is fair in my opinion.

I'm not sure the exact amount, but in VT, we have to pay a fee that goes to Efficiency VT, which in turn, gives it out as rebates etc. for people "greening" up their purchaces of electricity consuming appliances. They want us to use heat pumps, which we do, (and love them) but they get expensive...

No way would I feel comfortable putting the tractor in there. Lawn tractor, yes...

So sorry for the loss and what you must be going though. Time will heal all wounds, but damn, 56 years will take some time. My deepest and most sincern condolenses, may God be with you...

Only owned 1 best truck, and it wasn't really a truck. 73 Bronco... The rest were just trucks

Boy, you are blessed for 49 years. While I don't run it, and never will, of all the people around here that do run some liquid balast, all of them have either had leaks, or corrosion of rims with seepage. Yes, there are cars, trucks, tractors that can and will leak antifreeze, it's more common...

Even at that price, it can run into some big dollars, and the few issues that come along with liquid ballast. My used tractor came with wheel weights, 3 - 50# per side. Works well enough for my needs.

back to original question, I'd put air in and the rotate valve stem to bottom to drain. Breaking bead would be quickest, much less control over where it goes when it come out.

Not always the case. BBS during the pandemic were almost 30% less price.

I just bought 2x4's at the local Ace Hardware, always much more expensive, making me drive to big box, but they were $3.48. I'll keep buying there until their prices return to not worth it.

No thanks. And after spilling diesel fuel when refilling tractor, due to the ineffective and cumbersome "safe"spout, struggling at other times, I bought a vent and regular nozzle on Amazon.

And that's what I'll be using it for... Looking good

I've read the other thread on utv recommendations, but seeing this post has some cooler photos. Still trying to find one in my price range though, I know I'm going to use it like a truck, but the price is up there on some... used seems to be the affordable option

I'm sure i've already discussed that, thanks for beating that horse though...

I'll have to investigate that angle, thanks.

Some of you are reading way too much into this, I didn't say I wanted to change, I was wondering if there was any advantage to changing the tire size. I'm trying to consider all options now, BEFORE I drop $1200 on 2 new tires. Woulda, coulda, shoulda...

thanks... traction was never an issue. don't want to destoy grass either if i changed thefront tires so whatever ratio they used, would that balance the 4wd issue? trucks change tire size all the time with no issue

That's one way to look at it. I just would like to make sure I'm not missing an opportunity before I drop $1200 or so.

I have a NH TC29D, hydro, and tires are in need of replacement. (just put a tube in one to tide me over) Size now on rears is 15x19.5 R4's. My question is, is there any reason I should change the tire size? I cut lawn, do loader work, drag trees etc. I have no issue with what I have on now, but...

That Sun is one old piece. I remember using the old Sun that rolled from a steel beam in the shop, timing, points, rpm, emmisions, coils, plugs etc. Boy, things have changed.

Ahhh, where is the excitment in replacing a battery that isn't stone cold dead? Have some fun, excitment, think the Seinfeld episode when Krammer was test driving a car and wanted to see how far he and the salesman could go with the tank past "E".

If you apply a moisturizer to your face before you go out, it greatly reduces wind chill. Think about the people who swim English Channel, coving themselves in some sort of lard/grease/gel I do it all the time. It works... Besides, I'm not ready for the leather skin look yet.

I also live in a micro climate. On the east ridge of a valley that runs N/S, as well as an intersecting valley running NNW/ SSE. Rain half mile away, us, snow or sleet. And the winds, almost always at least a breeze here. Forecast is in Burlington, 2 hours away. Even the temp maps for my area...

fish tourneys every once in a while are catching more than fish. I remember a big (for CT) fish tourney in Hartford, one team were caught taking fish out of a cage of some sort holding some biggins. Tourney officials were made aware before the beginning and were there to catch them in the act.

If it's from VEVOR, stay away. Cheap construction.

We had agressive ground yellow jackets. A bucket of Dawn soap and water kills them. I waited until an hour after dusk, when they had returned home for the night. It suffocates them, very effective. I have used in a spray bottle to get nests on the soffit as well... Never had any mold issues...

Ben's 100

Last year, had at least 1 tick on me everyday from beginning of June to late August. This year, 1 so far.

My point was, at let's say 6 dollars an 8 footer, why charge 36 for 3 4 footers?

Put nut on and use a pry bay? WD 40 overnight? Does bolt turn?

I don't agree, because they spend the money, they are having roads built, which I believe is the point.

I find the key being save the last bag until all the rest is mixed with water. If you add all the water and all the concrete, it's a bear to mix.

Like others have stated, there is no perfect solution. As a former solar owner, I knew it was dirty. But so are other forms of energy. I chose solar because it saved me lots of money, even made me money. I had no company holding prices over my head. No fairy tale there...

This may be taken the wrong way, but I went solar to be more independent. It provided that for me. I don't get into discussions about green and pollution and such. I do my part to make less of a carbon footprint, but know that whatever I do really won't make a difference. I pick up some trash...

I don't grow food on my roof anyway. Haters gonna hate...

Not sure how odd that is, life does change you know. The money that solar added to the sale of the house was about what we paid, so more profit. It is being considered, new panels are producing so much more power, but our power provider doesn't participate in net metering. I've never heard of...

No, we used no power from grid. Our excess production is held in a " bank" and when we need it at night, it is returned. Paid off in 8, yes. The 12 year comment is in reference to the efficiency increase of the panels over that time. 15mw is a lot of energy to produce and use. We used most of it...

When we lived i CT, we had a 52 panel array on our roof. Produced 15+MW a year. We had electric heat pumps for heating and cooling 2500SqFt home, pool. We were netmetering and the only bill each month was a $19 service charge. WE'd get a credit at the end of March every year. The payoff was 8...

Splitting wood all day so I didn't try anything. In the past week, I was filing in an area to create a road. I was in gear, and compacing the dirt with bucket. I've also llifted the front end by digging to deep. I will try all suggestions tomorroow, for now, I do believe I've earned Happy Hour...

I've been making topsoil for years, mostly grass clippings and shredded leaves, and tilling 3x a year. If it's too moist, I would mix in sandy soil. Always worked great. Fast forward to new home. Neighbor has horses, and has an area where he has dumped manure. At least 6 years old. Mix of...

Thanks, tried that as well. I know I used to be able to pack down dirt, lifting my wheels. But the bucket was 1 foot or more higher than normal ground level. I will try that again today to see if it still does that. My big concern was that by lifting a log that my tractor couldn't lift more...

My older NH TC29D is similar. I can't imagine any tractor less than 10 years old would be a chore.

Yes. It has to be in nuetral to start, and since I wasn't moving it, I kept it there. I will double check in the am, just to be sure...

I have a New Holland TC29D that I've been putting through the paces lately. Today, while I was trying to put the MMM on, I tried to lift front wheels off ground using bucket. It couldn't get the wheels off the ground, and I still had plenty of piston left. I was at 2500 rpm. By going though...

Been there, done that... sometimes my priorities don't align with reality. :)

My guess is snowstorms don't usually happen during grass cutting season. Maybe before 1st cut. Rare during...

Off road was $4.84 in St. J VT. Sunoco 87 was $4.17

I am actually switching from a jd riding mower to a MMM. I can't take all the bouncing anymore on the lawn mower. I have never used a MMM before, but I do know that my NH tc29d rides so much nicer over my grass. As far as getting caught in a snowstorm and taking off MMM in freezing temps...

Just heard this week on news they are starting to log again.

my property, my trees. I just cut (guessing) 700 maple saplings. Nature will do its own thing...

The sun doesn't need to be always shing to have power avaiable. That's what storage is for. ' I ran solar for nearly 10 years, warantee for compnents was 25 years, with a sliding scale of decreased power each year. I forget the number, but in our time, we generally produced the same each year...

Yeah, and you have a flat top on bucket. Mine is rounded, so no help there. After cleaning dried mud out of indicator rod mounting hole, I measured from hole to top of tube when bucket is maxed out. Added 1" for 90* ange that mounts into hole. Figure I will add 2" to stick out of tube. 40"...

A great reason to avoid the chains that do it...

Gotcha... my bad on interpretation.
