Where the hard line attaches to the distribution block hydraulic fluid is spraying out from the sleeve under the nut on the fitting. It is as tight as can be. The sleeve is stuck to the nut too.. I'm guessing it's not possible to fix this, as any attempt would make it too short most likely. Sigh.

Good day gents, it's been a while since I've posted.. my 33 has been mostly trouble free since rebuilding it so many years ago due to a cracked block. I have a new problem that I'm dealing with, which is that the tach and hour meter have ceased to function. initially the hour meter would leap...

Hadn't run my 33D in a few weeks, and decided to exercise it last night.. Fired right up (well, not really, since the battery was low, and it wouldn't engage the starter relay right away..) but it runs so well now after the rebuild... I don't know if it's ever run this well.. it seems to make...

Drove up to the dealer to bring her home. Spoke with the man who did the work, Thanks Buddy. It runs GREAT. I'd say it's better than new, thanks to the care he put into my machine. Fantastic. Can't wait to put it to work. Oh, he also made me a new counter weight. Kind of pricey, but seems to...

Unfortunately I was not able to visit the dealer to track the progress.. final tally is just shy of $2800, this with NH parts support in a bare block, piston rings, and gaskets. The dealer also found that the HST pump was leaking (again) so they replaced the seals for that as well. I have not...

Well we found out what the spark I saw when my engine block cracked.. One of the bolts on the top of the bell housing must have shot clean out like a tracer... it was missing... HST pump is leaking. Again (it was repaired once before, under warranty about 2 years ago). it appears that a log...

Once I get my tractor back from getting it's new engine (due to it trying to break in half while lifting snow with the 7308 FEL) I want to make a subframe to link engine subframe to the loader arms. I have the idea in my head.. Just wondering if anyone has any advice, yea or nay, to the wisdom...

I need to call NH, was told to call the number in the user manual.. My manual is home. anyone help? Please? :)

Plowing some snow tonight, went to lift a large pile of snow, and heard a very disconcerting BAM, saw a spark, heard a nasty noise, and dropped the bucket.. Quick inspection showed nothing.. drove it gingerly to the house, where I could take a closer look.. One of the little ears that bolts the...

Greetings all, it's been a long time since my last conf...er, post.. hope all the good guys are still good and the bad guys are getting better. I'm finally fed up with the complete and utter lack of steering control in snow with my R4s, and I want to mount chains on the front tires. I've...

(oops, I posted this in the wrong forum at first... *sigh* I'm not used to this format.. ) It's been a loooooooooooooooong time since my last post, I've been busy on other projects (namely Welcome to AudiWorld.com - The Audi Enthusiast Website).. Still have and love my TC33d!!! I've not been...

It's been a loooooooooooooooong time since my last post, I've been busy on other projects (namely www.audiworld.com).. Still have and love my TC33d!!! I've not been using it much this year, the battery is stone dead, won't hold a charge for more than an hour.. time for a nice gel cel battery i...

Been a while since I've posted, just got done spreading 2 loads of hardpack.. The 33d is running like a top! Just cleared 200 hrs. I know, not much..

Hey all!! I'm beginning to design (in my head) some bash plates for my 33d.. I was wondering if anyone out there has an opinion of the wisdom of welding mounting ears onto the rear FEL mounting arms for the purpose of attaching my bash plates... they seem pretty substantial, but I don't want to...

If it wasn\'t for bad luck... i\'d have none at all. Yes, I was working in the trees with my 33d... driving along, when suddenly, a log got popped up by the front left tire.. it was more or less sideways across the trail... felt a slight resistance, immediately reversed.. saw a slow spray of...

I got my tire back on the 33d, after knocking the stem off and losing my calcium fill.. IMHO, you haven't lived till you have tried to get a loaded 19.5 x15 tire off of a trailer, in the rain, by yourself.. I'm not a little guy by any means, but trying to stand that sucker up was not gonna...

Doing some clearing on my land, was maneuvering about some downed trees... was backing up, heard a very strange noise, followed by spraying liquid.. fearing the worst, jumped down to have a look.. I was glad it was not hydro fluid, but irritated nonetheless that I had a lake of calcium chloride...

After what felt like FOREVAH, I finally got my tractor back from having the HST re-sealed.. (well, i did have to walk to the neighbor's place to get it, after the dealer's driver left it at the WRONG HOUSE..) It's quieter, runs better than ever, and, as it turns out, in as-delivered form, the...

It\'s been a while since i\'ve posted... Hey all.. Just jonseing for a tractor fix.. My 33d is at the dealer, getting a seal fixed under warranty.. It's one of the seals on the HST pump unit.. it was leaking from the forward weep hole all winter.. finally got them over to have a look, they took...

My son and I went out on the wheeler the other day, but got hopelessly stuck in the snow.. Unfortunately, the cable for the winch was all tangled, and it was not going to help. So, we walked up to the house and got the tractor... My son is too young to drive the ATV or tractor by himself, and I...

yeah, nothing really exciting, but I really wanted a 12v outlet somewhere on my tractor.. wired it to constant power, with a fuse. Now I can run my cool rotating light when I am trundling along the road at some slow speed...

Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday season!!

Hey all, Now that it's winter here in Vermont, my 33d gets to live in the garage.. well, last night I noticed a decent (6 inch) circle of fresh oil.. upon further inspection, it appears to be hyrdo fluid, as the engine oil is BLACK as night... Having never seen what's inside the case, I wonder...

Hey all!! with my Woods rake, the arms on the TPH are set very wide, so wide in fact, that the tire chains have been known to hook on the lower part of the vertical arm (no pics handy, if you can belive that!).. What I was thinking, flip the pins from the outside to the inside of the frame...

You guys are going to think I am nuts, but I am in the process of hooking up remote PTO indicator lights on my 33d... I know, I shuldn't need lights to tell me I am over or under speed, but, hey, they are there, so might as well use them. The reason for this of course, is running the rear mount...

I had to fix a nail hole in one of my fornt tires over the weekned... and I noticed that the rims were such that you could flip them.. the 'extra' lug holes had the proper seats on the reverse side.. Of course, my overactive imagination got to work.. I remember seeing something in the manual...

Greetings all! Lately I have been hearing what can only be described as a creak coming from somewhere on my 7308 loader frame.. It's not the pivots as far as I can tell, they are all greased, it only makes this noise when you first put load on it, then it's quiet. I tend to use my loader...

Sometimes if it wasn\'t for bad luck..... ... I would have no luck at all.. Latest issue, the fan belt jumped the pulley and got a nice cut in it... anyone used an automotive equivilent belt on a NH tractor? or do I have to trek to the dealer for hte real deal?

Hi all! It occurred to me the other day, when I checked my hyd fuid, it was REALLY full, like WAY over the max line. when I did my 50 hr service, I had the loader off, which meant that all 4 cylinders were fully extended when I took it off. I also more than likely had the 3PH in the up...

I checked the fluid levels like a good little tractor owner the other day, and noticed a little white froth on the hyd dip stick. It looked like the kind of froth that water might have caused. My question is, how normal is it for there to be traces of water in the hydraulic system, and is it...

GAH!!!! I bent the \'foot\' on my 7308 loader... I was working in and around some trees, and I hooked the foot on a stump, going backwards, and bent the foot about 3 inches forward.. Question, has anyone shortened this foot at all? On one hand, it's a nice bumper to protect the front diff, on...

Just a word to the wise, put a circut breaker in place of the fuse for the override switches.. I had mine blow out last night, luckily near enough to the house that I didn't have to fumlble in the dark trying to replace the !@##@!%#! fuse.. Any time I try to start the tractor with the...

finally had the time to run up to my dealer for the filters and some oil.. very easy job. I pulled the loader off, cleaned everything up while I had it off. Some folks were wondering if my modifications to the front hooks would make getting it back on difficult, well, it slid right on, no...

So I was out play...er, working with the tractor to chop up some ice, and rolled over 50 hours.. Yippie. So, the thing to do is change ALL of the fluids, and their filters (engine, hydro, fuel) right? I could look in my book, but it's at home.. So far, I am absolutely in love with this thing...

I had my first \'problem\' with my TC33D today.... Well, I went to go out and play, er, I mean work with the blower today, but the tractor would not start. When I turned the key, I could hear a relay(s) clicking, and I knew it had power.. I checked all of the levers etc... turns out it had...

This morning, while playing in the 8 inches of fresh powder, I got to thinking.. Wouldn't it be nice if there were remote RPM lights on the back of the tractor, so I wouldn't have to keep looking at the dash to see if the tractor is 'happy' in it's revs.. I know, I know, a proper tractor...

Hey all, I have a Woods SB74, which is a great blower, but I noticed that not all of the snow actually makes it through the chute. A fair amount of it goes streight up, and naturally falls streight back down. Looking at it, where the adjustable part is, there is hardly any side to the chute...

Happy Blizzard everyone! I though I'd share pics of my new <font color="blue">NH Blue </font> Woods SS74. My dealer's timing was impeccible, as we are due to get around a foot of snow over this weekend. Anyway, here they are.

Oh happy day, my dealer was finally able to deliver my Woods SB74 yesterday! It's custom painted <font color="blue">NH Blue</font> which is a nice touch.. Still cost me less than a regular <font color="orange">orange</font> one at the local <font color="orange">orange</font> dealer...

Hey all, Following PineRidge Mike's great mount idea, I decided to finally build the one I had been thinking of for a while.. It's a lot different than the one Mike built, but has the same effect. I can mount up to a 20" box on mine, or whatever else I feel like.. Maybe one of those water jugs...

So the other day I asked here if anyone had a step on thier 33D or other compact NH.. I guess you could say my question was loaded, I wanted to see what they looked like so I could build one similar to the OE one. Anyhoo, I cooked this up over the weekend, it's not perfect, but it works...

Hey all.. THe other day I was fumbling with the keyring on my ROPS pin, and ended up taking off my glove (COLD!!) and dropping the silly thing in the snow. well, to ease my frustration, I decided to make some quick release pins for winter use, when I won't be as likely to tip my tractor, and I...

Unfortuneately my dealer, who is great, but slow, has not yet delivered my tire chains. I got to find out firsthand how bad the R4s are in snow.. I was a little surprised that I couldn't push up my hill (which is very steep, but still...) with the bucket in float with out slipping.. It would go...

Hey all! I was wondering if anyone here has a side step on their class 2 Boomer.. I am thinking it's gonna be a pain to climb all the way up dressed for winter, and with the potential for icy floorboards, I don't want to slip and fall.. So I was going to make or buy the step for the left...

Adding to the previous thread about adjusting the front hooks, yesterday I finally got around to modifying my front hooks. The first pic shows how I added a piece of steel pipe to create a spacer, and to bridge the gap to the end of the front mount, to keep the arm from sliding side to side...

Greetings all! I recently purchased a TC33D hydro, with 7308 FEL, Woods 72" rake, and a Woods SB74 snow blower for the rear mount. Love it! Only have 13 hours currently... Lately, I have been having a little extra noise from my hydraulics when I lower the FEL.. It's quiet going up, and...
