I practiced learning how to parallel park in a 69 Impala. When it was time to take the test I used my mom's 75 Honda civic. Piece of cake.

Fire pit or bbq? Maybe add some wheels and turn it into a trailer.

I just changed my hydro oil in my TC33DA. About 9-10 gallons. I used a black mortar mixing trough to drain into, and a transfer pump to put it into 1 gallon jugs. We have curbside recycling where I'm at.

It's usually all over before I see them in the tall grass. Sometimes I'll see them running for safer pasture on the other side of the fence. I did have one that held his ground and kept ducking his head down every time I went over. On the third pass I parked on top and dropped the mower deck all...

I call my JD riding mower "Rattlesnake Blender".

Check the #2 fuse in the fuse block on the firewall under the hood.

I had a meter on my tractor for a short while. I found that unless I was sitting still, the meter was bouncing around so much from the vibration that it was pretty much useless. Eventually the two-way tape holding it to the tractor came off and I never bothered to replace it. The best meter is...

Works for me. I'm running a New Holland TC33DA with a bush hog brand 72" box scraper.

There are choices beyond windows and apple. Anybody else running Linux?

Start with the fuse box. There is a 10amp blade fuse that likes to blow. (Second from the top on my tc33). Then verify the shifter is in neutral, pto(s) are off, parking brake is set. Sometimes I need to wiggle the shifter to find the right spot for the safety switch.

I'm running a 72" land pride 3 blade rfm. I let my grass grow up to 12-24" before cutting it down to 4". But I'm in the sierra foothills so while the grass can grow tall, it's not very thick or wet.

Bad relay

Make one out of a jet ski trailer

Ah so it had already been bypassed. I "fixed" mine the same way because if you bounced enough in the seat while driving the tractor would shut down.

Have you tried disabling the seat switch?

I just set a 5 gal jug on top of the loader arm and use a shaker type siphon hose. Same method I use for my jeeps when I'm off road. Simple low tech solution.

I think you're looking at this wrong. Rather than buying a tractor implement to fix the driveway, look at this as an opportunity to replace that low slung sedan with a jeep. 😀

Getting ready to change the hydro oil on my tractor. Last time I used one of those cheap harbor freight plunger style hand pumps. Not fun with 10+ gallons of oil. This time I started research on buying an electric transfer pump. Then I remembered I had an old fresh water diaphragm pump out of an...

I just got my tuff top installed. They don't offer blue so I went with white.

Snorty dogs rule. Of course now that my name has changed and all mention of the old name is gone, I'm not sure this thread will make sense to anyone arriving late to the party. Does this mean my old name (wannabeRetired) is now available for some other poor soul that still has to get up and go...

My name is Hugh

Looks like they changed it for me. Now I'm Hughman. Can you guess why?

Been a while since I've been online. I lost my "wannabe" status in 2016. That's when I also lost the computer I use to use for my login to the site. It's taken me this long to remember what the password was. I tried the password reset a bunch of times but never got any reply from that. Anyway...

Billy does the best Grateful Dead covers.

I'm looking to buy a cutter. My tractor has 27 PTO HP. I'm cutting about 5 acres of tall (2-3') grass/weeds a few times a year. I have rolling hills (Sierra foothills). I started shopping for a 6' cutter (woods bb72x, rhino 172, land pride 1872, ...), but now I'm wondering if I should scale back...

I started seeing an issue where my glow plug light stays on for several minutes after the engine starts. It doesn't happen all the time. Maybe a bad relay, weak battery, ??? It has the original battery which is about 9 years old now. The temps have been in the 80-90's so its not that it's...

Digging a pond and thought the tractor seemed lite in the rear end with a full load of dirt in the FEL. Always went on the assumption that the dealer did what he said an filled the tires when I bought the tractor 4 years ago. Checked it (stem down) and nothing but air. Oh well. I'm going to buy...

New to living on well water. This is a weekend home for now but eventually will be full time. This past weekend my pressure pump was not turning off. When I went to investigate I found a leak where the pvc pipe screws into the output side of the pressure pump. It pumps up to the cut-out pressure...

Rookie question as this is my first fluid change in the front axle. I'm working on a 2006 TC333DA. The manual show capacities of 1.5 qt for the diff and .85 qt for (each?) reduction gear. There are drain plugs on the front diff (center) and on the bottom of each reduction gear. The question is...

Greetings. After years of lurking and learning, I am finally going to make a post. I have a TC33DA that I bought in 2007. Other than engine oil changes, this weekend was my first attempt at changing fluids/filters with 330 hrs on the clock. I changed the hydro fluid/filters, engine oil/filter...
