Hello Folks, One of my bucket tilt cylinders started blowing massive amounts of hydraulic fluid. When under load (down pressure) or when returning to tilted back after being under load (more like it's cleaning out that side of the piston). There are 3 'bleed' holes on the upper part of the...

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the parts I would need to add to a cab tractor (limited to 4 valves due to cab interference; the non-cab may be able to go higher). You can also have some (2 or 3) valves under the cab (later versions of this model series I believe). Not sure the...

All, I looked around to finger out how to change the boots on these (TN 55, 60, 65, 70, 75 cab models). All I learned is that others asked similar questions as well as a locking pin problem (locks the joy stick motion -- sliding collar on the joystick) but didn't list what they did or how they...

Hello Folks, I have a TN55S with the standard 2 remote set up (adding 2 more soon). One remote has no float (I assume an 5161780) and the other is supposed to have a float mode (I also assume it is a 5180686). I am vaguely familiar with the float idea: an extra detent in the remote is supposed...

Hello Folks, the starter/solenoid appears to be dieing. It sounds like a box of rocks (vs the solenoid just skipping in and out -- not a gear meshing sound to me). Intermittent while cranking. Looking at the repair manual and at the starter (I haven't pulled the plastic wire cover/cap yet) it...

Folks, it is time to upgrade from my bumper pull ~16' flat bed trailer. Considerations for the trailer include: 3/4 Duramax truck, Titan 2.5" hitch, 9000# of hay or tractor (~6-7k#, plus a couple of implements), load unload with forks on tractor. Occasionally load a car or other awkward load...

Hello, looked this up in the manual set I have (for the vineyard models) and see that it calls for adjusting the 'lo' clutch switch to close (presumably) a bit sooner (assuming the ECM hasn't failed). Since I don't have the 'remote control' unit to adjust the clutch, I made a stab at it and...

Hello, wife and I are starting the process to add on to our 1960's tri-level. 25' wide, about 2' wider on the upper story than the garden level basement (on one side). The addition will add about 16' of space to the upper floor. The goals are: master bath, closet space, larger bedrooms...

Hello everyone! Brought home a 90" wide (roller) flail mower. It is highway yellow, a 'bit' worn, and has an IH sticker on it. It also has IH and part numbers stamped into the pulleys. That is the only markings on it. One belt drive. Other than moving the pulleys back in (they are...

Well, had a funny thing happen to me. It's our coldest time of the year (I hope -- not always only a 2 or 3 week deal), and we needed to uncover some driveway and pads (parking areas) so it will (eventually) melt clear. So my wife finally gets some seat time in Blueford. Says she is worried...

Thanks in advance for your replies. I have an opportunity to buy a 6' flat bottom grapple bucket, QA. Has twin hydraulic grapples (two teeth each, left/right). Price is $800, presumably OBO. Have only seen tiny pics, expect to go look it over Tuesday. Any ideas or suggestions? Other than a...

Ok, a bit related to a posting in the NH buying forum. 1998 TN55s with NH loader (33LA?). Anyhow, the loader is a quick detach unit (like most), that mounts via posts on the sides of the engine. They mount to the bell housing and also to a casting bolted to (and) in front of the engine block...

I was over on the hydraulics forum and got to thinking -- who makes the hydraulic valves fro NH (specifically the TN)? I want to add a couple of remotes and was wondering $$$ (less. less. less).

Ok time for the quiz: What does code 14 mean? Took my TN55s (cab) to a local independent shop for AC repair (charging). Picked it up it and initially it wouldn't move. The shuttle shift error lamp was lit. It went out, the icon with the manual and gear in it came on and started flashing...

Hola Friends! I figure there isn't much to add to this, but seeing as how this is a free post.... I found out Saturday that my AC is not working (it finally got warm enough to tell -- I have only had Blueford for ~ 2 months). Anyhow, 1998 Ford-New Holland Tn55 (yep, still says Ford on mine)...

Yipee! My TN55 has arrived. Got an hour or so seat time. Haven't a particular job for it yet, but I smoothed drive a bit. After operating this thing for that short bit I want to drive it to Sunday meeting. I saw the data sheets, read the reviews, and all that. But I was not prepared for...

Hello all, I am working delivery of my new (for us) TN55S. Yeah! Old Yellar (Case VAC14) will be getting the boot soon. Always worked, and I could always fix what ailed it. Will find out on the new Blue I-talian (Alfa-Lanc-errar-iat). Anyhow, it is an 8x8 power shuttle. I was looking over...
