Has anyone come across a legible version of the wiring diagram for a TYM T233/273? I have the shop and parts manuals and the page showing wiring is illegible. I suspect is a 6 page fold-out that was scanned and reduced to a single page. Almost worthless. After yet another run-in with mouse pee...

Hey all, It's been awhile since I've been on TBN. Everything was finally stable with my T273 - until yesterday. After hauling a few buckets of pea gravel I went to park. I shifted from Low to High range (something I rarely do) and drove about 100 ft without incident. Then bang it just gave out...

Hi, all, I've posted some related electrical issues on another thread, but this specifically refers to the fuel pump (DAE WHA 1699-2052-300). The question is simple. If I disconnect the pump from it's connector and place 12V (from a battery) across the appropriate terminals, should it turn on...

Hi all, Been awhile, but I'm back. I'm the proud owner of a TYM273 tractor (circa 2005). About 6 months back I developed some trouble with the glow plug system. When I turn the key to the left (position 3), the glow plug "coil" indicator fails to light, and more importantly I no longer hear the...

Okay, maybe I'm just an idiot, but where in the heck is the oil drain plug on the T273?? I seriously can't find any "view" that resembles that shown in the service manual. Is the oil pan split due to the drive axle? Here's what I see looking forward from the HST filter. I assume this must be...

Hey fellas, Probably a stupid question, but can anyone provide me inflation specs (p.s.i.) stock front/rear tires for a T273 with bioballast loaded rears and a FEL? I've looked through my user and service manuals and there's plenty of info on tires (type, size, etc.), but nothing that looks like...

Hi, again, Thanks to all of you who have weighed-in on my ford 881 diesel engine rebuild project to this point (spanning a couple of threads). The question that remains is whether it would be worth my time and $$$$ to do the following: Grind the valves, Hone the cylinders (flex, 3-stone)...

Rather than a post about oils, lubricants, and other petroleum products, this deals with cleaning up after 'em. I have several large oil spills on a concrete floor in my garage, and I'm looking for a way to safely clean them up that is "environmentally friendly". Several products are available...

Can anyone tell me what I'm looking at? This is the front end of a Ford 881D that has a seized engine. I'm trying to bar her over. At first I was placing a large wrench over an odd shaped piece of steel bolted over the pulley. The inside of this piece clearly is the female receiver for a hand...

Hey guys, I inherited a 1962 Ford 881D with SOS tranny about five years back. History-wise: She ran great, then the PTO quit, then she became hard to start, then she basically sat for 2 years in the Oregon rain. Though I'm not much of a mechanic (yet :rolleyes:) I'm now really attracted by the...

Hey Fellas, Within the first 10 hours the muffler bracket cracked clean due to engine vibration. No problem - known problem that was promptly fixed under warranty. However, now I've noticed that the fuel "bulb" mounting bracket on the right-side of the tractor has also cracked clean. Anyone else...

Hey Guys, I have located a farmer who can sell me 50% biodiesel in the winter months and 99% in the summer. Good discount and no doubt better for the environment. My wife's also seems to really want the sweet smell of french fries wafting in the air as I move piles of horse manure :D . Anyway...
