Honestly, it's been 6 years since I had to push any snow with the bucket. This past weekend there was 5" on the ground so hardly worth breaking out the tractor. I don't have chains (and can't justify them for our annual snowfall) so my biggest pain was moving back up slight slopes, but slow won...

Your comment prompted me to go look at my battery. As you can see, it states 380CCA. I wonder if there has been a change to the manufacturing process or just a downgrade in the advertised specs. :confused: I did mount mine on it's back as that was the only way to clear the hood latch. It...

Re: Help me identify these leaks on my TC18 33D instructions but probably useful.

It sounds like you need a set of these Gary.

I can't say for sure but that tractor has similar specs to my 33D. Here is a quick maintenance guide I pulled off Messicks web site. It may give you some direction.

This might help a little.

Do the attached pages reference your question?

I believe this is the zirk Rick is refering to.

I miss the fields of Bluebonnets Jim, but mom always stops to take pictures and send them to me. :) Today is the start of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival and it's a beautiful site to behold. Weather this weekend was sunny skies and 60º, good days to clean up the property!

Wow Mousefield, your splitting area is far neater than mine, I usually just dump the bucket and go. Chase a few rollers every now and then. ;) 32º this morning and going up near 50 this afternoon. It's been full sun for the last three days. Pulled the mower apart yesterday and gave it a good...

I couldn't agree more with this statement. I used an amplified 3G signal for many years with pretty good results. 4G is an even better solution with HomeFusion from Verizon. The CradlePoint router was how I used WiFi in the house. PM me if a used CradlePoint MBR95 is something you might...

Morning all, 36º this morning and going to hit 40º something for a high. Christmas was spent with the wifes' half of the family at a x-country ski lodge near Butte, MT. It was VERY cold but the sun was out most days and it was beautiful country. David, I do have gortex hunting attire and...

NO PICTURES!!!!!!!! :shocked:

I've had this Odyssey battery in my 33D for 6 years now and never had an issue, it's AGM so bouncing around has little effect and I have had none of the corrosion issues that the factory battery provided. The "L" model puts the terminals on the proper side but I did have to modify the connections.

Don't forget the inspection light that accompanies the magic smoke, they are packaged together at the factory...UL requirements. This is what happens when one generator is not quite ready to be paralled with another generator or, somebody forgot to lockout/tagout!

Don't be too sure Roy, I spent almost a full year installing and maintaining security systems for State Dept. throughout the Middle East when the security officer for the Cairo Embassy found out my TS hadn't been adjudicated. Let's just say he wasn't very happy and the final paper work was done...

I'm very sorry for the ordeal you're going through Randy. Three years ago my wife had similar symptoms and had testing done for the cause. Her aortic valve was failing due to radiation therapy 24 years ago, for Hodgkins. Her valve replacement went well but the radiation also affected the...

42º this morning and thunder in the distance. I was supposed to go help a friend construct a horse shelter but the forecast may just nix that plan. We'll see what develops. Don, we just had to re-paint the lines for compass rose on the airfield and some runway numbers changed. Do you plan...

I started looking at phone and wireless card upgrades a few weeks ago for my Verizon account. I've been using an amplified 3G card for home internet several years now and could get 1.5Mbps on good days. The only problem with upgrading the card to 4G meant a new amplifier for the new bandwidth...

Waking up on the left coast, 52º and 60º expected. The big thing is it's raining and will continue for at least the next week. We kicked the horses off the summer pasture last weekend. I worked it evenings to remove a few rocks and get some fertilizer and seed down so now I'll let mother...

That looks like an earlier time Jim. Runoff trails tells me there was some rain. :)

Not quite ready to start a fire here Mousefield, only 44º last night. 64º today and sunny. Got some manure spread so will drag tomorrow to work it around. Still looking at the weather forecast to time some over seeding this year but the slim chance of rain on Thursday with nothing more...

Roy, I once interviewed for a position as an estimator with a company I knew many of the upper management folks. The winning candidate was an employee. I told one of my friends I would have rather gone and had a beer and called it an interview to fulfill company regs than to think I had a...

Morning Mousefield, I was across the island from you a few weeks back doing a little fishing out of Ucluelet. Way more fun than ditch work!:D

So I'm the proud owner of a free Honda Rancher. Of course there is no such thing as a free machine, but so far I have no money in it and I got it running, so far so good. It needs a battery and choke cable and the cooling fan hasn't come on yet. I'll change fluids although I'm told it had a...

I saw this story tonight and it made me proud to be a Bee. Calif. car crash heroes speak out - Video on mnsbc.com

I saw this listing on Craigs List and just felt compeled to pass it on. He wants to do a package deal? 30 + antique 2cyl jd tractors/ dozers for sale

I changed the engine coolant out a couple weeks ago and after following the manual for flushing the old coolant, I put in Zerex Extended Life at a 50/50 mix. After the engine comes up to temp, I can watch the temp gauge fluctuate between what was the normal operating temp and back down some...

Here's a quick guide to 7 different tractor manufacturers with models up to 60+ HP. Tractor Shopping

We have had this guy coming around for a couple weeks now and he seems to like the horses. He even followed us once when we were moving the horses to a different pasture.

I need some ideas on converting this gravity feed day tank to a pumping tank for the tractor. The original design filled the tank and floats shut the pump off when full. I can switch the hose around to draw from the tank (got to add a pick-up tube) and I have a 5/8 hose with fill nozzle to get...

I was doing some log skidding this weekend when I noticed my 540 RPM light on. I idled down and it remained on. I engaged both the mid and rear PTO's and the PTO light cameon, the 540 light remained on at idle. After shuting down I checked for any loose connections under the tractor but...

Has anyone ever had any experience with this manfacturer? I visited a dealership in the big metropolis of Chewelah, WA and the owner/salesman was very helpfull/knowledgable about his product. He was quoting around 18K for the 45hp model w/loader. More specs at www.ranchhandtractors.com. The...

I thought about posting this in general attachments but decided I wanted a more focused opinion from the Blue team. As my landscaping progresses my little 42" mower becomes less of a convenience and more of a chore, time to bring in new team members. I have my eye on a Mott Super 88 flail...

I just wanted to show the casters that will soon be attached to the box blade. Picked them up at the recycle yard for $5 each. They still have the mold ribs on the tires. Seemed like a pretty good price to me. Now if I can just get some scrape square stock for the same price, guage wheels...

I had a friend deliver some hydraulic fluid to me as a favor after I said I needed to change mine. He picked it up at Costco for a good price but I can not cross reference it to the NH 134D spec. It says Hydraulic Fluid AW-46 on the container as well as some other specs. It contains anti-wear...

OK, let’s add another project to the list of things to do. The 90 acres south of me is being developed into 5 and 10 acre parcels, probably will see building in the next year or so. The owners originally planned to use our drive for access and have easement established with the county. The...

It seems our 8-week-old Lab is defective. While taking our early evening stroll, she poked her nose in the air to sniff something. It was a deer standing less than 30 feet away and she never even saw it. Siena was looking the opposite direction when the deer moved off, but she still had the...

Scratch n\' Dent sale at TSC Angry Driver Mows Down Lawn Mowers Thursday, April 21, 2005 What's the first thing you do when you have a fight in your car with your lady love? Why, drive into a row of lawn mowers, of course. That's what Brownwood, Texas, police figure 19-year-old Joseph...

Nothing better than relaxing by the fire with a barley pop after a hard days work. Telling tales of who worked harder and who's gonna show who tomorrow. Actually, the fire is all that's left of about 20 Alders and a dozen or so stumps with a little slash thrown in. Most were in the 4"-6"...

Well, I have to feed the horses tonight because the CFO is in Seattle at a hair show. Now I know style is important, but for me the difference between a good haircut and a bad one is two weeks. Nevertheless, she’s down there and I’m sure she’ll find something she needs…$$$. Which brings me...

Well it happened today . I turned on the key and waited for the glow plug light to extinguish. Light out, rotate key to ingnition...nothing . Well I've read enough posts on TBN to say hmm, maybe I got a loose/disconnected wire. I'm very careful about going going over stiif brush but...

I can\'t imagine the pain This is a story that made the Seattle news last night...I can't imagine how this uncle feels. GRAHAM - A 4-year-old Pierce County boy was run over and killed by a bulldozer Friday in what a sheriff's officer described as a tragic accident. The boy had been visiting...

I was sent to this website as a means to bid on some government boats that will be coming up for auction. This could be a very dangerous place but after seeing a listing for a KC-135A aircraft engine, I just knew that some of the folks at TBN just might have to own this thing. 4000hp, would...

Well, I spent the morning searching for someplace to put this nut I found lying in my drive. It is obviously one that hasn't been around as long as some of my other equipment so I have to assume it fell of the TC33D. I had planned to do a thorough inspection at the 50 hr. service but did it...

I wanted to post this story for the TBN members as a reminder about how quickly things can go wrong. A friend of mine (Bill) hired a local logging outfit to drop some trees on his property. We would have done it ourselves but most were near a power line and we figured a few dollars was worth...

I'm looking for ideas on welding a lifting hook on the top of my NH 7308 FEL. The rolled steel seems a bit thin for a direct weld and I don't want to pick any heavy loads from the side. I suppose I could have some 3/8" steel rolled to the same shape and reinforce the center of the bucket. Has...

I have a new 33D (13hrs) that I've been putting through the paces here in the sunny northwest. All box blade work with a little FEL inbetween. Today, after about 5hrs of pretty steady work the tractor started to "lope" at RPM's. Almost like it had a cam in it. Let me give the facts: 1...
