I was hoping you would have gotten a picture of the 3pt linkage. I am thinking it may have a friction plate and you could adjust the resistance in movement. As far as the leaking cylinder, around here you can take it to a hydraulic shop and they can rebuild it for not much more than the kit...

What are you having trouble with, getting the end out of the steering knuckle or getting the end off of the tie rod?

Welcome and Congratulations. I think you have chosen well in your purchase.

Any warning lights on the dash? It sounds like it has gone into limp mode. It could be fuel filter as well but it not changing at all with the throttle leads me to believe the ECM is holding it back.

I received the same message 2/21/23. :unsure:

I asked our marketing consultant on ideas for the logo. She likes Frazier’s Flyer (our last name) and instead of Town and Country put Friends and Family. She quickly sketched this out. Man I wish I had her talent. Thoughts?

I am curious of what the shop said when you picked it up? Did they say all good it was the clutch or did they acknowledge the noise is still present? Also was the leak there before it went into the shop?

If it was the lk2544 with a loader it would have no problem selling. I would think you could get $1500 to $2000 for it. Marketplace is probably your best bet. Or if you have a farm auction place close by let them auction it off. Never know may sell for more that way.

I don’t remember trying to stop going down hills. I do remember wanting to go faster and loosing control resulting in a crash. Then getting up to do it all over again. :ROFLMAO:

:ROFLMAO: Yeah, my tractor is a toy no doubt. My dad sure did not concern himself with falling when he made me climb into cotton trailers to walk down the cotton. Then have to jump up and pull myself out so the picker could dump the next load. 😂 I might one day build a bench that could be...

This is so true! Even with the logo it needs be consistent with this goal. I have asked many people because of the comments here and they all seem to agree it should be personalized. But whatever it ends up being, it must have the same appearance as the original. Thanks for this insight.

Maybe something like this would work? 21” high leaving a 15” step into the wagon. https://www.bigdweb.com/horsemens-pride-3-step-mounting-block

The bed floor is about 36” tall. So a little taller would be nice. I am looking at some folding stairs that have 4 steps. Just not sure how far out the A frame would keep the top step from the back of the wagon. Definitely would be a gap to step across.

Good point. I will have to think on this some. Something light and portable would be nice.

They offered to build steps for it. They even make a wheelchair lift for them. I elected to not get the steps thinking they may get in the way if used for other purposes. I think 3 bales stacked will be easy enough for everyone to get in if they are baled tight.

Used the Branson to unload and pull the new wagon that was delivered here today. Looking forward to getting the graphics and hubs painted to match a Radio Flyer.

Honey, I’m home! :ROFLMAO: Wife was shocked. She said “You do realize you only have 3 little grandkids don’t you?” I told her I don’t know how fat they will get. Don’t want to exclude anyone. :ROFLMAO: Here is the video she took as I was driving up with it.

If you are adding a new valve for rear remotes, your new valve needs to have Power Beyond and you need 3 lines. You will want to feed the backhoe with the Power Beyond of your new valve. You can tee the tank line of your new valve into the tank line from your loader.

Great news! Thank you for updating us.

Yes, that would be with no stops.

They loaded up the wagon and heading this way. The driver thinks he should be here tomorrow. Pretty aggressive for a 20hr, 1350 mile trip. He has a nice trailer but not sure his tires are up for the trip. :ROFLMAO:

I am going to use hay bales for seating. I will get horse quality hay when we are going to ride then afterwards give it to my neighbor for his horse. Neighbor may encourage the rides that way. :ROFLMAO:

Well, I am open for suggestions. And it will at some point require repainting.

Update. I contacted several companies that build or say they sale running gear to not get replies or quotes. Horst said I can get one from my local JD dealer as they are a dealer for the distributor. My local JD place said they cannot get any type of wagon running gear and can’t get parts for...

3rd function for the loader if you ever think you would want a grapple. Congratulations.

Just can see the spool caps in picture 3 and yes it has float option. Like others said just a quick jab should put it in float. You will know you are in because the joystick will stay all the way forward when you let go. You will have to pull the joystick back to neutral to get out of float.

Welcome to TBN. I would be surprised if it did not have float function. Can you post a picture of the loader valve? If we can see the spool caps on the back we can confirm if it has float. One will be longer than the other one.

Thank you for updating this thread and I am sorry to hear the news on your Dads Health. Hopefully the treatment will be successful and he will be able to drive the tractor again soon.

Yes, that is where the factory PB hose goes. But you need the PB sleeve that is correct for that valve. You cannot split the power ports like you have as the fluid will always take the path of least resistance. Once the PB sleeve is installed, the port marked C will feed the next valve. If you...

The circled port should be your Power Beyond and you need the PB sleeve installed.

Interesting as ever one I have ever seen for diesel engines goes up to 1000psi. That engine should be close to 500psi certainly more than 300psi. Edit: From what I found the pressure range shows to be 350 to 425 PSI for the TC29D.

It is apparent you can’t read or maybe comprehend. Post 23 does not say you can’t use a compression tester on a gas engine. It clearly says you can’t use a compression tester FOR a gasoline engine. And then goes on to explain the gauge does not read high enough. This was a heads up post as the...

Here is one of my middle son and Rockie. He was so gentle with the kiddos. He really loved them. That little boy is getting married next weekend. Hard to believe.

My Dad and I took a motorcycle ride one day to this facility. Unannounced I asked the guard at the gate if we could get a tour. The Flight Director drove down to the gate and picked us up in his truck. He spent about 3 hours showing us around and explained a lot of what they do. I was allowed...

I think you are on the right track. I suspect an issue with number 2 injector. The sea foam probably did help and may do better with another treatment.

I would start by raising the front end and turning each wheel by hand to see if I could isolate where it is coming from. If you are not mechanically inclined take it somewhere to be worked on. I would not drive it till it is fixed. Likely a gear or bearing creating the sound. Maybe check wheel...

6’ is a bit much depending on what you will use the rake for. 5’ is probably more the correct size.

Isn’t it funny how people want others to be considerate of them but not necessarily the other way around? When I am facing bright lights for whatever the reason, I just focus on the right edge of the road and know it will be over in a few seconds. Has worked for me for many years of driving and...

Same here. Had to replace a core last week on the Kioti. 2nd one this year on that tire.

Most kids that have been here have gotten a kick of me cracking a bull whip. They are amazed how loud it is when done right. They will try for hours learning how to make it crack. :ROFLMAO:

This is my opinion as well. I love the short turning radius but that is the trade off I guess. I just try not to use it all as much as possible. But when needed it sure is nice. ;)

It would be easier just to pay the price though. Savings may not be much after all the work.

It would take some research but if you determined the proper size for the knuckles you could cut the bad ones off and weld a replacement so it has the proper threads. One side is left handed threads FYI. A lot of people fight getting those off thinking they both are right handed threads. Might...

Are they loose in the joint or where it goes into the steering knuckle? There was a problem on some older 20 series but not anything recent that I am aware of. They had an updated knuckle and tie rod for those that was done under a warranty service advisory.

I think you are close to finding the problem. Next step for me would be pulling that number 2 injector and having it tested/rebuilt.

Maybe loosen the fuel line at the injectors one at a time to see if problem stays the same or gets worse?

Maybe do a voltage drop test from that post to the other end of that cable. A bad connection could definitely cause your symptoms.

Wow, this one is being a pain! I would have thought for sure you would have found a weak glow plug. I like the idea of upgrading the filter though.

You can find the service manual in this thread. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/updated-list-of-service-manual-part-books.435656/

That was just a generic picture not the one for your valve. Backup ring is not necessary on all sleeves.

Looking good. I suspect damage has been done to your valve. The tank port can’t handle the system pressure when lifting something heavy with the 3pt. That is why the valve has a power beyond sleeve. It should feed any down stream valves. I think the valve has cracked internally creating this...

Has performance fallen off? If not maybe just unplug the data logger. I did the muffler thing right after I bought my 4815C. You can just gut the canister. No problem.

I would pull the power beyond sleeve and look for the o-ring at the bottom of the sleeve. Wondering if it is damage or missing. Without that sleeve, the C port is just another tank port. It will look something like this.

Sorry for your loss! Prayers for you and your family.

At least you have a winch to pull yourself out if it did get stuck. Except I don’t see anything to anchor to, except maybe a power pole. :ROFLMAO:

C is power beyond and should go back to feed the 3pt. Likely that is your problem. But trace the lines as ptsg suggests.

I guess today was the day to find some issues with the Branson. I started using it to move some limbs I cut down this morning to clear a trail through a wooded area on my place. After I had them hauled to the burn pile, I shut the tractor down to refuel and grease the flail mower. I finished...

Lots of great memories of Shorty and good stories. One day Shorty and I went to a public lake close to our house. There was a park there with swings and such to play on. I was playing with a friend and noticed Shorty was missing. I started looking for him and saw a car driving off with Shorty...

From looking at the parts manual it looks like the lever and foot pedal are connected to the pump with cables. I would start by disconnecting the cable at the pump and move the lever to verify the cable moves smoothly.

My dog Shorty when I was little. He went everywhere we me. We took our naps on that porch everyday. :ROFLMAO:

Sounds like you are looking at a motor rebuild. The easiest thing would be to find another running 1050 and save your current one for parts.

I believe we have a male drain plug that identifies as female. OP is looking for a female 12mm square socket to remove his male drain plug. Most of us would use an open end 12mm wrench for this or a bigger Crescent. But he is not a fan of these options.

I do not believe it will be injectors at all. Something is blocking fuel or a safety switch is turning the tractor off.

Even though I don’t have the same issue, this with no doubt would work. This will drain most of the oil out of the cylinders so it can’t build pressure.

Mine are Safeway S45-4 on the grapple. Same on the Kioti, and I can’t tell what is on the Branson but definitely different. But have not had an issue on either tractor.

Wonder if it is the type of connector? I have taken mine off in the early morning and let it sit in the sun and had no issues reconnecting.

Travelers has an Amber color to begin with. I would run it a while then change it again.

Sometimes it takes a few changes to remove all the water. What oil did you use? Nice tractor by the way!

For mine I release pressure by working the valves before I take the grapple off. Then I hook the two grapple hoses together. Then when I unhook the hoses to put back on the tractor, the pressure is relieved enough to not cause a problem so far.

Did the problem start after you put the new stopper in? Maybe try to run it with the stopper removed and see if it dies as a test.

True but she said that happened a few years ago so something has changed.

No there is not a pickup pump in the tank. The fuel pulls out the bottom of the tank to the electric fuel pump. Sometimes there is a screen on the fitting in the tank but looking at the parts book for you model it doesn’t appear to have one. Sometimes blowing air back through the line feeding...

So you do not have a fuel cap anymore? Is there anything to keep trash from getting into the tank? If not, there definitely could be trash cutting of the fuel supply from the tank. It will not be a bad fuseable link. When that blows the starter would not spin at all.

The difference between the two valves is power beyond. The one on the tractor has and needs 3 hoses because the third hose feeds the remote valve or 3pt valve. In order to use the valve that came with the loader you would need to add a power beyond sleeve and a third hose.

Sally, when you said it dies suddenly it almost sounds like a safety switch or relay problem. When it dies, can you cycle the key switch and it start again?

My next step would be to remove the stop solenoid and see if that makes a difference. I doubt it will but I would try just to eliminate it. I see three wires going to it in your picture. So it has the pull and hold circuit. Maybe it is not pulling all the way back at first? I suspect the...

There are some much older than 10 years old that work. Mainly because there is not anything associated with the Climate control system that can‘t be fixed. It is no different than any other component on a tractor or any other vehicle. The problem is often times people decide not to fix something...

Branson on fire duty! I just need the fire truck light bar. :ROFLMAO:

I believe second from the right.

The good news is you seem to have real good documentation with dates. The bad news is when you talked to them on January 22 and they informed you about Travis being gone, Ted knew full well then the doors would close soon. In your previous post you mentioned you were a valued customer...

Very nice. I am sure it will serve you well for many years to come!

I am having a hard time believing a clutch could be stuck that bad after sitting just 2 weeks. Are you sure the linkage is still intact?

Did you try Swapping the hoses to eliminate the valve?

That is unfortunate and somewhat unusual. I would want to see what everything looks like. If the case is good, one would think you could rebuild that one cheaper and easier than finding a complete unit used. Also, I can’t imagine every gear is damaged beyond use.

Prayers for you and your family! It is a tough thing losing your Dad. I miss mine every day!

Maybe replace the fuse with a light bulb and try it. If it is a short the bulb will light up. Then keep disconnecting things or wiggling wires till the light goes out. Once it goes out you found the problem.

I would not suspect the injectors. But if fuel is losing prime after sitting, I could see it behaving this way. I keep a cheap electric fuel pump for checking issues like this. Just temporarily plumb it in and wire it with jumpers off the battery. If it makes a difference then I keep chasing...

The steering valve is between the pump and that cylinder. You could use a shop towel rapped around the ends just to keep dust out. I don’t know what size or thread type those fittings are.

Dad and I ran out of gas on a farm truck when I was kid about 15 miles from a station in the middle of a field. We had some diesel so dad poured about a gallon in the tank. He started the truck and played with the ignition timing till it ran half decent. We drove it to the station and topped...

You should not need to drain the fluid. Very little will be lost when you take the lines loose.

Ever slammed your tongue in the door of your cab? I hate it when that happens! :oops: Some of these arguments are almost as silly. :ROFLMAO:

Wow! Nice quick thinking. Glad it worked out for you.

It does matter. I like this. https://www.mobil.com/en/lubricants/for-businesses/heavy-duty-lubricants/products/mobil-delvac-tractor-hydraulic-fluid

Another thing to think about is mounting orientation. A lot of valves are intended to mount upside down. As in work ports pointing down. When you mount it work ports up, you have to pull the joystick as in raising the loader to get into float position. Something to think about when ordering the...

It very well could be external not internal. I would also be checking for loose bolts in the front end mounts as well as inspecting for cracks. Maybe even the tie rod ends. Simple first then to the internal stuff. I agree with this! Surprised this has been so hard to determine the cause. Not...

It will have nothing to do with the hydraulics. Makes sense it is in the front end because it happens when tires are rolling. When you turn the steering it moves the front end enough to make the sound. I would raise the wheels off the ground with the loader and kill the tractor. Then see if I...

It really depends on what you will be cutting and the terrain. 60” is going to be more than what your tractor is going to want I would think. I would think in terms of PTO HP as that is what drives the mower. With a HST you can go very slow which is why they suggest engine HP. I just disagree...

I am somewhat confused as to where the “clanging” is coming from. At the beginning of this post you indicated it is coming from the front end. In the last paragraph you think it is coming from the transmission or hydraulics. Could you clarify? I listened to the recording and I think I hear what...

I would swap the hoses between the curl spool and lift spool so that moving joystick left or right raises the loader. If problem goes away on lift but moves to jerky curl then the directional control valve is the likely culprit.

I use this. https://www.mobil.com/en/lubricants/for-businesses/heavy-duty-lubricants/products/mobil-delvac-tractor-hydraulic-fluid

I would say it seems to be adjusted as I would like but yes, you can adjust it with more free play if you like. But at some point you will have difficulty in getting in gear or with it trying to still pull with the clutch pushed all the way in.

What brand and models did your FIL have? They seemed to work well for him and should give an idea of what you need as far as weight and power. The 5520C is a nice tractor but hard to say if it is the right one for your needs.

I do not see a problem with using a diode. Should work just fine.

Number 1 for me. Wicked 55 Grapple 44” pallet forks 60” loader bucket 72” Land Plane with shanks pin to SSQA adapter for the Kioti loader Received all in 1 to 4 months.

I would use 3/4 if I could not find a M20 and not worry about it.

I saw it once earlier today. Safari on iPhone.

Yep they are done. Fidelity has called for the loan of $7,883,293.57 plus interest to be payed in full as well as 1.5 million they had on their line of credit. Apparently Ted has moved as many assets as he could to his son and wife’s name. Not sure how well that will work out for him. The...

Hello and welcome to TBN. My 4815C is the same way. Has been from day 1. It doesn’t bother me as I have learned to work around it and don’t even notice it anymore. Mine is not the H model so whoever told you it was limited to HST is incorrect. Besides the HST and 3pt are separate systems and...

Personally I would stay with the 3515. I am happy with my 4815C.

Pretty sure they are not Kioti.

Not sure only 1 post equates to a liar but maybe so. There is others on the Facebook page that says they spoke to Ted. Still doesn’t mean anything but if enough people cancel their order maybe Rich will get his. 😂

Not sure EA is for sale. We know they at least reached out to one customer about shipping out their order on Friday and shared they would be open this week. They may be ramping back up but a lot of damage has been done. Time will tell if they can or will overcome.

Do you know the symptoms she was experiencing that caused her to take it to the dealership? They said they needed to fix the electronic throttle control. Not sure what is involved in that process but it sounds like a we don’t really know what is wrong but it is running fine now type of repair...

Was it still running fine after the lights came on? I doubt a disconnected vacuum line would cause these symptoms.

I hope they do open and make it right with their customers. But a lot of damage has been done in a week because of no communication. A simple message on the voicemail or a note on the website explaining they would be closed would have kept a lot of the damage to a minimum. I wonder how many...

I feel strongly that they have hung some customers out to dry simply by not responding to their inquiries about their orders. Also they remain open on the internet although no production is taking place. This is something I would have never thought would happen based on my experiences with EA. I...

Most of us that have purchased items from EA have been very satisfied with the quality of their products. Most have also experienced great customer service even with wait times. But I credit that success with quality employees that EA employed. I have very little insight into the owner of EA...

I won’t wager on it but I do hope they do or at least communicate with these people. Incidentally, it looks like one could still place an order. I would like to think if they are indeed closing, they would at least turn off the option to place an order.

It will be funny if they do open in the morning and all this speculation is a result of a video from someone that may have some hidden agenda.

And it appears someone has suggested it is opening tomorrow again.

So in the same way I suppose someone could suggest they are permanently closed?

Just got the same. Last night and earlier this morning it said closed opens 8:00 am Monday. I am thinking anyone can change it? Strange.

Hopefully it will all work out. Unfortunately, if they are just restructuring, a lot of damage has been done to their reputation.

Google no longer shows them as permanently closed. Not sure if just anyone can change that status? With the way they always conducted business, I will be shocked if they don’t fulfill current orders or refund the money if in fact they are shutting down.

Has anyone that has a pending order tried calling EA and asking these questions? I know I would be calling. The problem is everything we are hearing could be bad information.

You should find the manual here. https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1RuQbZPIwCGso4kyt1UJzBaLVGdJQFYeO?usp=sharing

Very nice work as always!

If it is getting fuel to the injectors then I would think the fuel solenoid is working. I would test the glow plugs and make sure the air filter is clean and no obstructions in the air box as a next step. Does it have a water separator on the fuel filter?

A couple of questions. What is the outside temperature where you are located? How did you verify fuel to the injectors? Was it running then all of a sudden stop or did it run fine last time you used it? I would suggest not using starter fluid anymore. Modern diesel engines don’t do well with...

I think is reasonable but I would still call. Sometimes a phone call can help you understand or help them understand.

Have you called them and asked for an update? I believe I would.

Very unfortunate the OP decided to delete the opening post.

Here is a orange tractor with the same bad design.

That is the best part of a project like this for me. I love hearing an engine fire off after a rebuild.

That is disappointing. They moved a lot of product through this site. Bucket, grapple, forks and a landplane for me alone.

It is not that I think a 25hp tractor can’t pull down a tree but they are not designed for that type of work. You can easily hurt the tractor or yourself doing that type of activity. A chainsaw is much better suited for tree removal.

I would think any of the three you listed would serve you well. I would not be concerned about the Kioti being too heavy for the engine. Weight is a good thing in a tractor. I would suggest you look closely at the dealers. Talk to people that have used them, check out their service departments...

No experience with one but the Rhino would be worth a closer look for me.

Glad you are okay! What an unfortunate thing to happen especially with the ROPS folded.

That is a very nice design. I probably will not do much for seating as getting hay on you is have the fun. We road in the manure spreader as kids. So they can deal with some hay. :ROFLMAO: But first thing first. Have to get the right running gear and go from there. Thank you so much for...

Around the place and country roads. If I can build it right then it may be moved to other places for family and friends to ride. Certainly not a parade or public ride.

Nice build!

No problem sixdogs. Thanks for trying. I definitely will keep this thread updated.

Definitely one of favorite ones so far having these special youngsters here. Merry Christmas

They asked if we can ride in the tractor now. I said we need to do presents first so they just tore into them. :ROFLMAO: So freaking cute.

New Is likely what I will be doing as well. I look forward to years of them having fun with me on this place.

I look forward to that. Because mine are so young I need the adults to ride as well. We are having so much fun this morning with the kiddos. They are already asking me for tractor rides. The funny thing is everyone wanted the kids to call me Pops and my new Grandson just started calling me...

Very nice build. Something similar would be perfect for my use. Thanks for sharing.

I have candidates for that already but would rather have an actual running gear.

Thanks Lou! I did not know some of the older gear did not use bearings. Bushings would be more problematic. I may have to look at newer stuff and plan on doing some traveling. Shipping I would think is pretty expensive. One thing I will have to determine is if I can get it on my 20‘ trailer...

I would love to see pictures. I did try to search for them but no luck yet. Thanks

That is one of my main concerns with this thing. Also the height the bed will be by the time I finish.

I don’t know where he is located at in Canton but have seen he advertises a lot of stuff. Most is priced too high in my opinion.

I could use my trailer but like the idea of no tongue weight. Also want to share some of what life was like on the farm. I can teach the kids how to back one of these which is challenging for most folks.

The one in Abilene is a much better candidate no doubt. The good thing about the one I am looking at is it is close. The one in Canton never replied to my inquiry so thinking it is out. The one in Tatum may be worth looking at. Need to add that to the list.

I have been looking for an old farm wagon running gear for quite some time. There is not many to be found around my area. I would like to build a wagon to do hay rides with the grandkids and such. There is one that I just found but it looks homemade and not sure what the thought process was on...

.34” here so far. Hope you recover soon Brandi! Merry Christmas Everyone!

I did not use those on mine. You certainly can. I just don’t need it at night and the flasher is disconnected on mine. All I cared about was temp, fuel and tach.

I just used the wires for the fuel gauge and temp gauge. I used the bulb sockets for low water level in the reservoir in one of the holes and oil pressure in the other one. They were a little smaller so I wrapped them in electrical tape to make them fit tighter in the hole. Nothing fancy but it...

I would have to take it back apart to remember everything but it is not difficult. If I get a break in weather and some time during the holidays I will install the fuel gauge match unit and can get some pictures of the wiring for you.

The cable for the tachometer will need to be custom made. The wiring was straight forward. I just used the same wires that were on the old cluster. The fuel gauge is the only thing that is not right as of now but I have the fix that needs to be installed.

I may have found a running gear I can make a wagon out of. I am going to see it next week when the seller gets back in town from Christmas. Looks like it might have potential. We will see.

Sorry you experienced the failure. TYM, like many other manufacturers, choose to communicate with end users through the dealer. That is why the dealer reached out to you on behalf of TYM. This failure would not normally be covered by warranty no matter the manufacturer. This would be covered by...

Thank you guys. My middle son has proposed to a young lady that has a boy and a girl. So in April I will gain 2 more grandkids instantly. They actually are going to stay here Christmas Eve and do their Christmas here. I am excited about that as well! I have been looking for an old farm wagon...

Thank you so much everyone!

Maybe both! :ROFLMAO:

I told my wife I need a bigger tractor with a buddy seat! Not sure she agrees but I will figure something out. :ROFLMAO:

Yesterday my first son and his precious wife blessed me with my first grandchild. A beautiful baby girl named Piper! I am pretty sure I had the same look the first time I held him! 😂 My prayer is she comes to know Jesus early in life. I am truly blessed!

They should be willing to swap it for another unit. I still would ask about a 4820C. Hate it is being such a hassle to get it going.

That will be nice once you get it going. Look forward to seeing it run again.

Don’t think we will see a white Christmas here but Wednesday night in Texline TX I was driving in this mess. It took me 9hrs to drive from Colorado Springs to Amarillo Wednesday night. I drove from Amarillo to Colorado Springs in 5.5 hrs Wednesday morning. Snow moved in and made a mess of the...

Does your new valve have the power beyond sleeve installed? You will need it to power valves down stream from the new valve. The you would install the valve like the PDF you posted says to connect the backhoe. Once the valve is plumbed with the 3 lines (power in, return to tank and power...

I saw trailer yesterday and snapped a picture. I think this guy agrees.

Does your tractor have a rear remote valve? If so, make sure it is in the center position. Also, did this slow down happen all at once or has it been getting slower over time?

There are two types of electric over hydraulic 3rd function kits. One is a diverter valve that redirects flow from the curl function to the 3rd function. This is done by holding a button in while moving the curl lever on the loader valve to operate the 3rd function. The other type is what is...

Times are definitely getting tough! I sometimes wonder if I will have enough to buy groceries each week. BTW, I am looking for a new tractor, any suggestions?

You should have said, I am sorry, there is a spider on your back and it looks like a black widow but I was too far away to know for sure. Then she would have left the line and you could go ahead.

Only way to find out is run it. Hopefully not. The problem was there was no water to heat the thermostat up so it would open.

That is what I was envisioning.

I have no idea what I am talking about but it looks to me like it is designed for the arms to be installed without having to remove the pins. But where the stopper is located in your picture is where the pins in the arms should be. Then the stopper would fold over in that notched part to lock it...

Maybe they adjusted the hydraulic pressure too high and caused the issue. :rolleyes: I would have to send the that picture and ask how the hydraulics created this problem as they claimed. I am glad the OP has a good dealer now. They should get him up and running and he will have a good...

I would suggest taking it to your dealer and ask them to check it out. It should be under warranty and they likely have a PTO dyno they can use to load the engine.

Did you have the dealer put the 3rd function on a new tractor or did you already have the tractor? Is this a new problem? Does the grapple open and close smoothly? Does the 3rd function work with 2 buttons or do you have one button and have to curl to open and close the grapple? Bucket not...

The local Dealer sounds like great people. I hope that it is the clips but if not, at least now the local dealer can find out what really is going on. If I were you, I would find ways to support this dealer!

Sorry for your loss! That is awesome he was able to do what he enjoyed for so long!

Most manufacturers do not offer the valve parts just the valve. Good Job on finding one.

And seems to be completely different from a retaining clip, so very likely not the same issue. What I don’t understand is if the issue was demonstrated to the driver when the tractor was picked up how the dealer says it is normal and something with the hydraulics? Something got lost in...

Turbos are pretty resilient anymore. I doubt you will ever have a problem with the turbo. I have never heard of anyone with the 5520 having turbo issues but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened.

Congratulations! Very nice tractor and I think you will enjoy the 4 ranges over your previous models mainly because of how easy it will shift. I doubt you will have much issue with the emission system but if you do, it can go away without much effort.

For our area the final assembly is done in Tyler and then delivered to the dealer. The dealer will put on some options like 3rd function and other accessories and prep it for the customer. This was the way it was happening with Branson before the merger. I have not been by that location in a...

I would have used the battery on the tractor to jump with the cables to the starter. That way you also eliminate a bad battery although I do not think it is bad. But jumping positive post to starter only then trying then ground only then trying would tell you which cable is bad.

Since you decided to take it back, maybe make videos of the noise and demonstrate it makes the noise with tractor off, front end supported off the ground and turning the wheels by hand. Post it here and send copies to TYM and the closer dealer. Also torque all the bolts you can get to as likely...

Yes. It happens quite often but I would test before replacing cables. Use a good set of jumper cables to run temporary cables from the battery to the starter. Then see if it starts with the key. Just make sure not to short the jumper cables and keep polarity correct. Also you want to connect...

Sounds like you have a bad battery cable or the terminals are not making good connection. I would use a good set of jumper cables to test. Use the positive lead of the jumper cable and connect it to the positive battery post. Then connect the other positive end to the big wire on the starter...

I am sad for your dad. He has to be frustrated. But that thing will not last long at all with something broke in the front end. It very well could lock up within a week.

If they are a TYM dealer then they definitely can get you a 4820C as it is a TYM now. If the sound is in every TYM on the lot then it must be something they are doing to them because every TYM that has been bought by members here doesn’t make that noise. I believe I would drive there and show...

Now it is time to demand your money back or they upgrade you to the 4820C. But no way do you take that tractor back. You need the regional service guy involved as well. @Asteral can you help locate a regional for @flyinghigh? Dealer is located in IA. Also, did you tell them they can lift the...

Thanks for the update. I imagine you have it licked for now. Good job!

Not all the lines are high pressure but would not know which is which without seeing how things are plumbed. My guess is they removed the filter for room to put the remote valve although the filter housing is not built into the transmission and could be located anywhere. Did they give you the...

I do not understand why they would have to delete the filter. Can you post a picture of where the filter was?
