There is an adjustable relief valve for the steering. The sound seems to match ground speed though, meaning the faster I go the more pronounced it becomes. CCWKen, what part of S Texas are you in? I'm in Duval County, about 15 miles West of Alice, just outside San Diego off 44. This is the...

I have a New Holland TC40DA. Recently, it's started making a whining noise somewhere in front of the operator platform only in forward and only when turning left or going straight. It's consistent when turning left and intermittent when going straight. I had my wife walk next to the tractor...

I have one on a feeder and water trough. The water trough is probably about 50' away and it picks up activity there and behind it. The flash is supposed to have a range of 100' but I think you're pushing past 60' for either the trigger or the flash. You also want to be sure that you don't...

Since my tractor is down for repairs and waiting on parts, I decided to take the truck across the creek to fill the back feeder yesterday. I've done it before and it's a little tight but with 4x4, it's easily doable. As I drop into the creek crossing, I switch to 4x4 like normal but, it doesn't...

It decides whether the valve block sends fluid only to the 3 Pt or to additional hydraulics, like and FEL. Here's the manual page which describes it better than me.

Got the divertor valve out, it looks OK to me also. I guess I'm just going to replace all the O-Rings, the filters and the fluid (again, this fluid was changed 15 hours ago) and see if that helps. I don't know what else to try/check. I guess if that doesn't do it, it's going to have to go to...

I'm having some trouble with my hydraulics. I've posted a thread in the Hydraulics section and thought I'd post a link to it here in case some of you guys don't check there but might be able to help. I'm stuck so anything you guys can offer is appreciated...

I pulled the relief valve this morning. There were no shims in it, which seemed odd since the manual calls for them but, I don't otherwise see any obvious issues with it. Since the shims only add 150PSI each, I can't imagine that the lack of them is the root cause of this. I'm working on...

Can you imagine how long it would have taken this country to spread from shore to shore if everything built had to be permitted? There are a lot of sod roof houses, early clap board farm houses and such that would never have passed an inspection. Oddly, a lot of those structures are still...

OK, so here's the full story. I have a New Holland TC40-DA. About 9 months ago, I had a fitting get damaged on the suction line and my pump was starved of fluid a few times. I replaced the fitting, changed the fluid and started having problems with aeration in the fluid. The pump was getting...

Here's how it should look. If you're not seeing this, I don't know.

Birds and tomato worms have been the bane of my existence every time I've grown tomatoes. One year, we grew them in containers on the porch and covered them with bird netting and the birds pecked them through the netting. I had to build a structure over them that would prevent the plants from...

I was using the tractor this morning, everything was working normal and then suddenly, I lost my 3 point lift and FEL function. Power steering, hydro trans and PTO (it has a hydraulic clutch) are all still working. I did get a branch wedged up into the tractor by the hydraulic pump this...

I've been looking at some steel structures with steel trusses online. A lot of it on really long spans, like aircraft hangers, has webbed beams with horizontal cross supports part way down, sort of like my original plan except that the top becomes a webbed beam. They look to be constructed...

We've finally moved so now I need to build an area to work out of the elements. Budget isn't going to allow doing a fully enclosed building or a concrete slab right now so I'm just building the frame and putting a corrugated tin roof on for now. My plan is to use 2 3/8" drill stem (pipe) for...

I was running the box blade through the fenced in dog yard yesterday to scrape out the weeds, level it and prepare it for some Bermuda seed and I drug it right over the top of a rabbit nest. Two little bunnies, probably about a week old, survived the ordeal amazingly, I couldn't find any others...

I went and got 136 concrete blocks and put my wife to work this weekend. Actually, I tried to help her but other than bringing the dirt, she'd have none of it. She put together the 2 raised beds and the paver walkway between them Saturday and spread the dirt out Sunday. We're moving down here...

I'll be building a post frame shop with a steel frame roof so I don't have to use trusses. I'm using a 40' high cube shipping container as one wall and then building the other 3 off of it, planning to end up with a 40 x 40 to start. Can I use W4x13 for the center support beam? I have them...

If you were going to start offering land clearing services, would you buy a dozer or a forestry mulcher first? I think a dozer is a little more versatile in that it can also be used for building site prep, pond digging, etc. but the forestry mulcher seems to command a higher hourly rate in my...

This morning I was on a mowing job and my PTO started slowing down. The engine was not bogging down and the slip clutch wasn't slipping, the PTO drive was actually losing power. I could just stop where I was and it would pick back up. At the same time this was going on, I was having something...

I've got some hydraulic issues with my NH TC40DA that I need to get worked on. I've already repaired what I know I messed up but it's still getting aeration in the fluid somewhere and I don't have the time to dig into it any further. The service department where I bought the tractor is not...

Here's my clan when we qualified.

I told my wife yesterday that I thought we should build a bonfire for today and she agreed. Then I started building it and it occurred to her that maybe what I was really saying was "I wonder if I can build a fire large enough to attract the attention of the fire department..."

Those of us that live in Tx know that the concealed carry law is changing Jan 1 to allow open carry. A part of that is that the required training class is going from 4 hours to 8 hours so I decided now was the time to go ahead and get the whole family through before the change. My 20 year old...

Anybody happen to know the part number for the rabbit/turtle switch on the joystick for the 16LA on the TC40DA? I can't seem to find it on a parts diagram for either the tractor or the loader and mine isn't working very well. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Handling charges aren't necessarily unreasonable, boxes and packing materials cost money. I usually add $20 to my shipping rates to cover the cost of the pallet, shrink wrap and whatever I have to use to secure things to the pallet. Sometimes I'm having to build a crate type of system where...

We've had our house listed for a while now with the intention being to sell it and use cash to pay for our build on our property. Well, the real estate market hasn't cooperated and it's looking like low oil prices have finally caught up with housing here in Houston so we're looking at plan B...

Well, I looked through it all and I can't see where it's pulling air from so I'm just going to go ahead and replace everything that was involved in the original problem, including some stuff I've already replaced once. I hate to just throw parts at it but it's a lot of work getting it apart...

That's what I thought initially, that it would self-bleed but, I would have expected it to have done that by now. The part I had to replace is the one the red arrow is pointing to, it's a rubber fitting connecting 3 hard lines together. I don't think this is a suction area, the rubber fitting...

I know this is a pretty stupid question but... I have NH TC40DA that had a lower rubber fitting get damaged and I lost about 2.5 gallons of hydraulic fluid during the replacement. I've fixed everything and topped off the sump but I know I have some air in the system. When I start the tractor...

Apparently, 300ft/lb of torque and thread locker isn't enough to keep the belly pan bolts from working loose. I'll admit I hadn't been checking them every time I used the cutter but in my defense, it was 300ft/lb of torque with red locktite... Anyway, a couple of the bolts managed to work...

I do some contract mowing but only smaller stuff, 2 - 15 acres, as I've only got a 6' cutter. Yesterday a guy contacted me about doing ROW mowing totaling about 400 acres 4 times per year. It would require a 45' ROW so it's really a job for 3 or 4 100 HP +/- tractors with 15' batwings. I...

Has anyone re-routed or diverted the exhaust on their Boomer? Where it comes out on the left side of the engine, it tends to make my left foot VERY hot and I end up riding with it in the middle. Even with the foot moved, my left leg and the left side of my body still get a healthy dose of hot...

For Sale sign went into the yard on our suburban Houston home last night so we've now begun what will be an exciting couple of years. Over the last year I've managed to restructure my business so that I can run it remotely which has given us the opportunity to move to our land in South Texas...

My ordeal isn't over yet but here are some helpful hints for the rest of you should you be unlucky enough to have this happen. 1 - If your truck is heavily modified or customized, talk to your agent about an agreed value policy instead of an actual cash value policy. 2 - If it isn't...

My truck was stolen from my shop in Tomball, Tx this morning at 3:30. It's a 2002 F250 crew cab 7.3 diesel, grey up top with a black stripe on the bottom and a fertilizer spray rig in the bed. License plate is Texas 64D-RH9. I know it's a long shot but if anyone happens to see it, please call...

I'm trying to work out materials cost for a 48 x 60 post frame building buying myself vs. getting a kit. Here's what I've come up with, am I forgetting anything? This is just for the frame and roof/walls. I plan to bookshelf the walls with 2x8 and then add 2x4 outside with an external 2x6...

Soon (like in the next 2 - 3 months) we'll be starting construction of a 50 x 60 post frame building on our property. I've been doing a lot of research on the columns and it's left my head kind of swimming. I see laminated columns with the bottom portion treated and the top regular, milled...

What parts do I need to add a 3rd function to my machine? I see there is a 3rd function hose kit for the 16LA (New Holland 18LA Section 005 THIRD FUNCTION REMOTE HOSE KIT) but surely there has to be more than that, right? I can't find any easy answers on what else would be needed though. I'm...

We're getting close to ready to build a post frame building on our land and plan to do pretty much all of it, except the slab, ourselves. I've got a New Holland TC40DA that I'd like to put a front mounted hydraulic post hole digger on so that I can watch my holes and control the angle, as well...

My starter is getting a little intermittent on me, sometimes just giving me a click so I'm going to try to be proactive and replace it before it fails completely. I came across this on eBay - New Starter New Holland Tractor TC35DA TC40 TC40A TC40D TC40DA TC48DA TC55DA | eBay. Anybody know...

How many of you you guys run off-road diesel in your tractors? Where do those of you that do get it from? I'd really like to get a 55g drum of off-road diesel to just keep at the shop to refuel the tractor from instead of having to file for a refund on the road use tax from pump diesel but...

My loader blew a hose today and sprayed hydraulic fluid all over the front of the tractor and the loader. Anybody have any suggestions for cleaning this stuff off before it becomes a goopy, muddy mess? I've got a pressure washer but so far I've just wiped off what I could with a rag and am...

I got my self a new Armstrong HD2020-D disc today, 6.5' wide, 20" notched 4mm discs and a little over 1,000 pounds. I'm certain this will be all the disc my tractor wants and know it's going to make putting in food plots so much easier. First pic is it on the forklift, 2nd is next to what I...

I have a New Holland TC40DA, 33HP at the PTO. I currently have a Rhino TW72 that is probably 15+ years old, it's built like a tank but had some hub damage and needs some work done to get it back into working order. I think I'm going to repair it and just leave it at my property so I don't have...

My Rhino TW72 started vibrating really badly and after looking it over, one of the blades isn't swinging and the hub is missing a piece. Of course, I'm at my property and need the mower working so I can get my dove field planted. Are these parts fairly interchangeable or will they be cutter...

Ask away, I'll be happy to help. If you can't dig down deep enough, you can always flare the legs for the base, like this - They sell elevator brackets so you don't have to worry about getting the angle just right - 4x4 Elevators,® Set of 4 - 83819, Tree Stand Accessories at Sportsman's...

I think I got a pretty good deal, Rhino TW72, probably a 2002 - 2003 model based on the serial number for $1,000. There are some dents and dings in the deck and there's been some welding done on the rear deflector over the years but otherwise she seems to be in pretty good shape. Ran quietly...

I've got some issues with my new to me 2006 or 2007 New Holland TC40 DA that I could use some help with. First, neither the blinkers or hazard flashers work. I found the control module with the help of Messick's parts diagram but is this a dealer only part or could I get it cross referenced...

We have a wet weather creek that runs through our place with about 1/3 of our property behind it. It's very steep (almost completely vertical in some places), about 20' deep and 20' wide. Getting vehicles or machines across it was impossible and had been weighing on me for a while, I hate only...

I've got a New Holland TC40 with a 72" bucket with the non-replaceable cutting edge. There is a New Holland bolt on tooth bar for this bucket but it's $486, and the price is consistent everywhere I look from Messick's to my dealer. Is there some aftermarket tooth bar that will work on this...

Has anyone ever used a dozer blade on the FEL of their tractor? Something like this - Grouser Products I have some excavation work to do that would really be better suited to a dozer but it's a small job and the dozer guy that I've used has a $350 delivery fee that makes it a little too...

I need a tractor for my property in South Texas and will also be using it for pasture shredding in my business. I've used and like Kubota in the past but new tractor prices are pretty high... My primary use will be pasture/brush shredding with a 6' cutter, but I also need to be able to do FEL...
