Hi all, I sent out a private message (to a several years old thread I found in search) to ask how this was actually done, but the person I sent it to (Bkjohns) hasn't been on TBN for quite a while and I don't know if he's still with us anymore. I do hope he's a-okay. I had a few questions...

I finally had to get to it, leaks got very bad and I just had to tackle this perplexing job. First I needed to remove the ROP assembly and I had on hand a central machinery (harbor freight) engine stand that has a hydraulic hand operated crane hoist attached. With much care I used this to hold...

I've got a question about relays; I searched but couldn't seem to find my answer. I'm not the sharpest tack in the box with electrical stuff so thought I'd ask. I bought a supposed relay tester to simply check if a relay was bad or not but it didn't seem to work so I threw it away. It would...

Hi All, 1st off Happy New Year to all TBN'rs. I had either a switch or relay go bad in my hazard warning light circuit. I never travel on the road anyhow so it didn't affect me other than the fact that some day - I might need to do so, and I don't like having something on my tractor that...

I recently bought a new EU2000 predator generator and it is just fine to run; so I did some work with it today, fence line trimming etc.., etc.., then I went to get the 273 to clean up the minor droppings. Yesterday, (when I put her to sleep for however long it might be) not a nibble of any...

Hi all, I thought I needed to post that I suffered a - what should be a "minor" break down - and what is turning into a problem. I'm on x-mas break, trimming trees at home using the loader, pallet forks, and a pallet to lift me higher into the trees. This is not a problem, it's...

My water pump went bad; it's been 11 years so it's not surprising to me. I found a replacement on ebay and it's being shipped now, but the listing didn't say whether or not it includes the gasket. While I wait for it to arrive I'm trying to come up with ideas to use if it doesn't come with the...

Hi all, About a month back my Scotts rider mower (Intek 24 hp engine) just blew a hole out of the left side of the crankcase! Just above the oil filter side. No warning signs whatsoever. I drove it to the area I was wanting to touch up, and once I turned on the PTO to the blades it popped...

Hello Hydraulic wizards, I have been having on-going problems with my TYM Nimco loader valve and I found a Nimco distributor with a matching number valve to fit. It looks almost exactly the same as my old valve - which is not available through TYM - says Jordon's tractor. The end caps with...

Hi fellow 273/293/233 owners, I've been struggling to discover why my loader control valve (on the curl/dump side) seems to be extremely stiff lately and thought I'd ask if any others have had these symptoms? After it runs for about 1/2 - 3/4 of an hour they seem to loosen up some. It...

Re: Hydraulic cylinder disassembly help Good as new, just waiting for the paint to dry.Hydraulic cylinder disassembly help-img_20190523_110040690-jpg Hi all, I am trying to paste STx's cylinder repair as a guide to help me properly frame my question. In his picture of the completed...

Hi Guys, A little helpful advice requested. This could have gone in the yard & garden spot also, but since I own and operate this machine; I thought I'd put it here. Here's my dilemma. Scotts 2048 riding lawnmower, 20 hp B&S twin cylinder Intek engine. Two weeks ago I was mowing grass...

Hi all, I've been reading about different problems that each has had and had been feeling fortunate that nothing much bad has happened to me....Well, it's now my turn!! Saturday I'd been working the tractor off and on all day; trimming trees, hauling the brush accumulated off, etc., etc...

Hello TYMr's, I wondered if I could get some help or at least ideas where to look next. I'm trying to cobble together a hydro gauge to occasionally monitor my system. I'd like to be able to plug in and out from the loader system as that's usually all I'm concerned about. My trouble is I...

Hello Hydraulic Guru's, I wondered if I could get some help or at least ideas where to look next. I'm trying to cobble together a hydro gauge to occasionally monitor my system. I'd like to be able to plug in and out from the loader system as that's usually all I'm concerned about. My...

Hi fellow TYM'rs, I was doing quite a bit of loader work this weekend, and over the last few months, I've noticed that my controls are becoming sluggish, slow, stiff - even after plenty of warm up - and sometimes they continue to move slight amounts after the stick is stopped (particularly when...

Hello Klorinth, I was trying to revive an old thread, but somehow I got bushwhacked and needed to start anew. Luckily, I copied my info and can just re-post. I am reviving an old thread because mine is now doing the the same thing. My filter assembly is the same as yours. Did your...

Howdy welders... I know there are numerous threads per HF generators; I searched but couldn't find an answer to my query. I have very rare needs for a household generator; but they are there! I received a coupon today from HF for Item # 69671, a 7000 watt running genny, with an 8750 peak...

Howdy fellow TYM owners, I hope all had Happy Holidays and will have a Superb New Year! I have a question regarding a leaky sight glass. I follow/read all threads on TYM so I know this subject has been discussed before. After 5 years mine has begun to seep/leak. I have no new...

Hi all, I recently bought a new 5 foot King Cutter Rotary Tiller. I have it assembled and mostly ready for use; the manual is quite clear "except" for just how much grease one should pump into the Tiller Hub? I've never had a rotary tiller before and am unsure. It doesn't seem to have...

Hi all, Well, I thought all along that I was safe from the drive-shaft problems as I had an 2009 model. Hast-La-Vista to to that thought!! 450 hours; I'm doing an oil change, & plan to grease the input shaft as always - I'm laying down under tractor and "really looking" at my shaft and...

Howdy all, I've been following all of the various threads about quick hitches and other forms of painless attaching of heavy implements. I have been using dollies and just rolling them up to the tractor - which works well - but I finally broke down and bought one from Agri Supply Company...

Howdy all, I just wanted to give a large shout out to Fit Rite Hydraulics, and particularly to Brian aka (MtnViewRanch). I bought a new quick hitch [I'll post that info in the attachments section later] recently and decided to replace my top link at the same time. Contacted Fit rite and got...

Hi to all the TYM folks, I know that replacement battery questions have been asked & answered. I wonder if anyone has ever attempted to add (or even check) the water level that is in the original Atlas BX45R battery that came with the 273's?? Today I removed my battery for the first...

Hi to All.... Not really a tractor oriented topic...yet...but...I just held my Grandson for the first time - as he was born at 12:49AM 10-29-2012 - and I just had to share!! I'm a first time Grampy and I'm just loving it!!! In several years he's gonna have a Great interest in tractors if'n I...

Wowzer, I haven't yet gotten the paid in full paperwork, but I've finally made my last payment and I now "OWN" my Lil beastie!! Probably not a biggie to a lot of you guys, but it's a grand occasion for me! I am eager to see what comes in the mail. Not a title, but just a paid off...

Hello TBN Clan, I'm pretty excited as I just received a set of QC Pallet Forks from Everything Attachments and I just can't say enough about how "Painless" [minus the forks cost that is] the Shipping, Handling, Overall Transaction in general, e-mail communications, etc., etc. And, I must...

Hi guys, I've got a question for all. I was moving some dirt yesterday [outside temps were warm but not excessively hot] it was dusty when loading & dumping bucket and after about the fourth haul I started smelling antifreeze sizzleing; I jump down - look - and yes the overflow spout was...

Hi fellow TYM'ers, I've searched and searched but was unable to locate the correct info that I wonder about. It seems that none of the tym'rs own/use a 3ph tiller? I'm getting real close to buying a 3ph rototiller and am fairly sure that my Hydrostatic 273 will handle a 5' [would cover...

Hi TYM'rs I've been pondering this for quite awhile and figured I'd just ask it. Seems sorta like a dumb question but I've never run an HST tractor before. 1. Before start up of tractor oil level in sight glass is right at the "H" line. 2. Start up engine and level drops to just...

TYM'rs, I have another observation that I'd like some input on. I've noticed this for quite some time now but today I thought I'd mention it. My LT200 loader valve never seems to go into relief? At least, I hear nothing that sounds like it's relieving. I was moving some dirt around today...

Hi TYM'rs, I've got a zerk that just won't seem to take grease and I don't know just how much it needs or even its importance. I didn't take the time to look up the proper name in the manual, but it's the zerk dead center of the front end. It's on a large round chunk of steel with a bolt...

Hi all, I've been having an issue with my top-link ram; when connected to my Woods BB60 box-blade. I've attached a few pictures to help me show my problem. I've managed to bend the ram (somehow - probably when pushing in reverse w/BB) so I know I need to repair it or most likely just...

I recently purchased a "new" Craftsman 27 Ton logsplitter. Have used 4 tanks of fuel so far (thus - about 4 hours on unit). The thing starts great, runs strong, and has split anything I've run through it so far. However.....whenever I'm running it - it seems to constantly cough out Hyd...

Hi all, So I'm currently fixing a small leak but have been curious ever since I installed my T-N-T system. What is the correct/preferred way to adjust the level of the 3pt arms? With no attachment on - arms at full bottom - rest a level across both of the arms and should the arms be level...

Hi all. I already posted in todays seat time but other things happened that were TYM specific tho. I had my first experience with that dreaded overheat due to grass on the radiator screen. Twice in two hours! Both times it took about 2 - 2 1/2 qts of water to refill radiator after cleaning...

Hey fellow TYM owners, I've got 65 hours on my 273. Last Sunday after I was done with some boxblade ripping practice, followed up with disking work I put it into the garage to shut down and (as it was at idel & cooling down) I'm hearing a strange rattling noise that sounds like a small bolt...

Hi guys, Different subject, and fantastic results! Last saturday it was raining here so I decided to get around to a task I'd been debating to do or not - Load my rear tires - well I decided to see what would happen and it was really a simple job. I experimented first by loading up my...

Well it happened sooner than I expected but what can ya say? Was doing some loader work this afternoon and I hear a "Hissss" look down and see a stream of fluid shooting out just behind the left front tire. I jump off, get a closer look, whoops - I quickly high-tailed it over to the garage and...

Happy New Year to all! I brought in my New Year with my first 50 hour service on my 09' 273. Actually, I was at 45 hours but after having read numerous posts from others like Tom59 having found so much gunk in their systems and since the day was a good one weather-wise for being in the garage...

Hi all, I just started having a problem with the hood springing open while operating my '09 273. I've gotten 33 hrs working it so far and have had no issues until yesterday. I was operating, using the loader, digging out an opening where I'm going to install some railroad-tie ramps/steps. Out...

Hi all, I've been lurking here for months. Absorbing ideas, thoughts, opinions, etc., etc. I've tried my best to deciper and decide on what would be the best brand [for the buck] to suit my 2.5 acres and my future mobility needs, [I plan to "eventually" get to the point where I can offer my...
