Yes, I have to put it on and take it off as the plates that hold the blower on to the tractor replace the ones for the mower. Then there is another piece of undercarriage that supports the shaft which attaches to these plates. There is a shaft to hook up at the front and then the one that runs...

I know this is an older thread. I'm not familiar with the SSQA Bercomac. I do have their front 56" blower on my TYM T254 that runs off my mid pto. They make it compatible with certain Kioti's, TYMs, JD 1025, maybe others. The undercarriage is in 3 pieces that are easy enough to handle when it...

While running the flail mower the other night I broke the pin on which the lower arms of the 3pt pivot. I think I cornered too tight with the flail on the ground. Couldn't get a replacement from TYM for a couple weeks. I heard that TYM makes some Mahindra models and found a pin from a Mahindra...

I took the pin on loader of my TYM T254 and converted it to SSQA with a Worksaver brand mod. Best thing I did for my tractor. I have a regular bucket, (had the SSQA plate welded on the back of the original), a set of forks and a skeleton bucket. The versatility of the the quick attach is worth...

I have the T254 which I believe is the TYM version of your tractor. Mine is a 2014 model and has the MM60 mower. I believe they also had a 54" for the T254 also. Oldnslo is correct that you will need the mounting kit which is fairly easy to install. I also have the Bercomac 56" snowblower that...

I run a 64" flail (similar to Ironcraft FL165) on the back of my T254 (about a hp less than the T25 and lighter in weight). The area I use it for is relatively flat so I can speak to handling on hills. I can say that the tractor handles it okay, (loader must be on the front) just not as fast as...

When I first bought my sub-compact I couldn't really justify the purchase. That said, I have found all sorts of projects for it. Couple nights ago I tilled part of an area to increase the size of the church parking lot, then scooped up the spoils. Today I spread out two truck loads of gravel in...

Got a TYM T254 with >500 hours from an auction online. Not one of my brightest moments. Ending up replacing tires and rear seals initially. Dealing with some electrical issues now. But when it is running it is great. I have appreciated the people on this site that has helped me with the repairs...

It's been working fine now that it is warm. (It seems less than 20°F is when the problem occurs.) The timer on the glow plugs now takes 13 seconds when it used to be 9-10. Not sure why. It is a 2014 model so I don't think there are any fancy sensors that causes it to alter the time due to...

T254, bought used (and abused) 4 years ago, 2014 model. Currently 650 hours. Have replaced rear seals, battery, changing oil regularly, did the 500 hour service a couple years ago. Need to chase some electrical gremlins. (i.e. glow plug timer is up to 13 seconds from 9 even with warmer temps we...

Ignition checked out fine. Temps warmed up a bit and it started like it should. When I'm able to get it in the garage I'll just disconnect clean and reconnect the electrical connections, check grounds, etc. Had my glow plug timer failing to turn off yesterday, even after I turned off the...

I guess Saturday and Sunday were flukes. Another question. There is a "safety unit" part #11106642001 mounted just in front of the radiator. Of course can't find anything that would tell me what that part does. Will be warmer on Friday and Saturday so I'll clean up all the electrical connections...

On Saturday I got underneath and squirted some WD40 on the brake "safety" switch. I cleaned what I could access on the plunger and the switch itself and worked the pedal vigorously. I also put a small squirt into the ignition switch as well. Sunday morning it was 12°F and the tractor started...

I have a T254 about 11 years old, 516 hours. I have this intermittent no start problem in cold temperatures below 10°F. Turn the key to preheat and the relay will click, light on the dash comes on, 10 seconds later you can hear the relay click again, light goes off. Turn the key to start and...

I also have problems getting things lined up with my Berco snowblower for my tractor. The machining of the holes are a very close tolerance so getting them lined up precisely to punch them through is fun(?). A bright light and a magnifying glass helped me see better. Was still a lesson in...

I use my "husky" timer. I run an extension cord into the garage and plug it in when I go walk the dog in the morning. 45 minutes later we get back, I go start the tractor. Haven't had any issues for two seasons. I live in Michigan's Copper Country and as long as Lake Superior is still open we...

I have the same issue with an older T254 and mm60 mower. There's a nut on the j-hooks that I tightened and got it close. But is looking like I may need to engineer a solution as the new parts I bought didn't change anything.

I spent 25 years using walk behind snowblowers. At my business I have to blow the snow north which is usually into the wind. Would have to tuck the chin and just take it as the wind threw some of the snow back at me. Couple years ago I picked up a used TYM sub-compact. Got a Bercomac snowblower...

The evolution of my methods of blocking my firewood is nearly complete. I started by cutting on the pile itself, rolling logs, pinched blades made the job interesting(?). I got one of those gadgets that has the metal V and chain you hook over the end of the log. Was much safer but required...

Got a new rotor from Messicks. Apparently this was made by Caroni or at least the rotor fits. Was a bit taken back by the price until it arrived with a new set of flails. Now I have a back up set as well.

I'd be afraid if I cut a hole in a vinyl cab I would only be inviting more problems. Your set up is pretty ingenious. I have decided to try a loader valve with a 3rd spool. I'll run hoses back to the hydraulic toplink. May even convert the deflector on the snowblower from electric to hydraulic...

Currently at one of my local shops, just trying to have plan "B" in place.

Picked up a used FL-165 flail mower at an auction (no brand identification on it). Got it home to find out I have a bent rotor. It looks like it could be an Ironcraft (same look and color) but there is only the serial number sticker on the machine. The Ironcraft have 24 weldments on the rotor...

Can you get a parts diagram? Helped me a lot when I did my TYM T254's rear seals. Also, mine had 6 bolts and couple of pins to line the housing up. Took off the wheel and housing bolts, lightly tapped the flange for the wheel working around it and was eventually able to gently/firmly wiggle it...

Used FL165 flail mower refurb in process. (not sure of manufacturer, I think Titan/Ironcraft, at least it looks just like their's in the pictures). Most of the hanger bolts are bent. Seem to be standard grade 2 bolts, should I replace them with grade 5? Also the rotor is bent. A local machine...

The Village plows all the snow to the middle on the main downtown streets. They have a huge hairy snowblower on the front of a front end loader which is used to put the snow into dump trucks. They take it to a few open lots around town and pile it there. One of Calumet's is right across from my...

Note to self: When the forecast is snow turning to rain, blow the snow before the rain starts. Got to move 5+ inches of slush this morning. Was impressed how the T254 and Berco blower handled it. No records for distance but got it well off the driveway and close to the snow dump. It didn't do so...

I was figuring I would need one of the local machine shops to make an new mount for it. The Besko has the ports facing left (as you sit facing the front). What I've looked at, the ports will face down in order for the float to be "normal".

Good to know about the fittings. There is a company selling same type of setup but made in Bulgaria with BSP fittings. I'll do some research as to sizes. Maybe take it over to one of the places nearby that make hydraulic hoses etc and see we can accurately determine the thread type and size...

I have a Besko 2-spool loader valve on my 2014 vintage T254. It is real loose again and the lift/curl positions are more oblique than straight (just up/down side to side) It has been that way since the day I bought it used. I have taken the cover off and tightened the bolts which help with the...

For me distance is key and the Berco has delivered for my set up. I can get the end of driveway stuff across the street and into the Village snow dump, even into 15mph winds. I do wish it were a bit taller, we got a dumping around the 13th of January and it was about 6" above the bucket, so i...

The worm drive can be a weak link. However, I have had blowers from Ariens, Honda and now Bercomac with the same type of drive from the impeller to the auger. I make sure the shafts on the augers are lubed so that the shear bolts can do their job. And they have on numerous occasions, especially...

I've got their 56" on the front of my TYMT254. Have had no complaints for the one season I have used it. It runs off the mid-pto on my tractor and there is a belt on the back of the blower housing that drives the impeller shaft from the pto shaft. I have hydraulic chute rotation and added an...

Was pleased with the job mine did on a number of stumps. Did learn the hard way to tighten up the chains on the 3pt arms a bit so it didn't swing quite so much. Neck got a bit sore looking over the shoulder. I have a subcompact also, (TYM T254) plenty of power but you get shaken a bit by not...

Sent a PM with the groomer pics

I'm better prepared for it this year. Have 2 cords of wood in the basement. 4 more to split and stack. I purchased a Berco snowblower for my TYM T254 which didn't arrive until last February. Was impressed with the amount of snow it could handle. Not much more distance than my Honda walk behind...

I just tightened the nut on the lifting lug to even it out as best I can. Was not able to get mine perfectly level but close enough for my lawn. Haven't had my machine shop correct the issue yet. Even new parts resulted in the same problem. One day I forgot to put the receiver hitch in the 3...

Let's see . . . power rake, trailer, new truck to haul it, probably could use a flail mower and a . . . and a . . . wonder if I can get the wife on board with this. You're right though, value added services like that are what makes customers want to utilized your services.

I purchased a Woodland Mills WG24 stump grinder to take care of stumps on the property. Put it on the back of my TYM T254 sub compact. (For those who noticed the ROPS down in the photo, it was put up before using the grinder. Just didn't bother stopping to put it up on the 20' trip from the...

Hi, Last year I purchased a used T254 with a loader and mower deck. The mower deck was a bit cockeyed from one side to the other. There were some bent parts that I replaced in hoping to fix this but ended up putting a spacer on the right lift pin and tightening the adjusting nut on that side...

Got the installation instructions from the dealer. The control valve is mounted to the ROPS and is fed from the diverter block underneath the footrest. Now the question is do I want to remove it every fall when I put the snowblower cab on. Or can I find a different place to mount this . . .

Here are the pictures I took of the back and under my tractor. I guess it could be that this one is like the 224 and cannot have rear remotes unless I do something from the power beyond port on the loader valve. I didn't want to take the seat off to get a better picture of where the hose comes...

Jeff, thanks. I watched that video as well as one for the T264. I looked under my seat and at the back of my tractor and it is very different than the T25 and T264 in those videos. Mine is an older T254 NH series (2014 model I believe). There is a sheet metal box that supports the seat. It is...

Has anyone installed a rear remote on their T254. I've seen videos for the T25 and T264 but I don't think they apply to the T254, I may be wrong. I'm wanting to add a hydraulic top-link for when I start working on the church parking lot and a trail that I maintain nearby. The dealer says there...

Only problem is I don't have rear hydraulics so my choices would be limited to the Baumalight or Woodland Mills. Price would be pretty good although the Woodland Mills is a bit cheaper (less expensive).

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a Woodland Mills WG24 that is very similar to the Baumalight. I have a TYM T254 sub compact. The WG24 does weigh a bit more than the Baumalight but it is a bit less money.

I am owned by a Husky/shepherd mix who insists on 3 walks a day. He has had a gps tracker for the last 7 years. A few weeks ago we crossed the 10,000 mile marker according to the tracker. I weighed 192 lbs when I got him. Hovering around 170 now. I also so some mountain biking in summer and fat...

I did my own (T254) with the Yanmar engine. Would be easy except for having to reach around the fuel lines and filter. Mine was right behind it. Some are screw in mine had the two bolts on either side of plug. Drain the coolant, mine had a nice valve to do that. Firmly tap on one side of the...

Walk behinds past 35 years. A 1024 Ariens and HS928 Honda. Still kept the Honda for back up just in case. A snow like last night usually takes a bit over 2 hours to do with a walk behind. I have parking at the shop and the driveway at the house to do. Not a huge area. However at the shop I have...

Got 6" last night so I got to put the T254, Bercomac blower and cab into action this morning. Neighbors were impressed that I took their end of driveway stuff and threw it across the road into the wind. With the cab, the snow didn't end up in my face. It's not heated but you do get a little heat...

Got my Bercomac blower and cab installed on my little TYM. Been a weird winter for us, not nearly as much snow only 150" so far this season. (355" last season). That has been a good thing for me. Delay in manufacturing and shipping, delay from a missing hydraulic motor that had to go to the...

Anyone remember 3% interest on your passbook savings account.

Great, so I can look forward to dealing with 317" of snow again. I hope my snow blower attachment gets here sooner than the predicted 11/27/22 date.

I'm one of those old dinosaurs that doesn't think it's a truck unless you have to shift it. Just been interesting to make sue my mind takes over the muscle memory. My tractor has a tendency to coast a foot or two when I take my foot off the HST pedals (I think i need to do some cleaning on the...

Has anyone else had issues going from their vehicles with manual transmissions to HST. I have found time when I'm on the tractor and need to stop or hold the tractor on a slight slop my muscle memory wants to push down the forward pedal and not the brake (which is where the clutch is on the...

Yes, Thanks so much.

I'm so close to having this thing done. Anyway, I have the center console cover off to adjust the HST pedals when I noticed that even though I have the lever in the 2wd position the drive shaft for the front spins when I move it. I have checked the lever and it is turning the shaft going into...

Fortunately on the T254 you do not have to remove the ROPS to get at anything down there. Just get the wheels off. With my closest dealer 2-1/2 hours away it looks like I will become very well acquainted in servicing my TYM. Thankful for sites like this where I can find info and the...

Sorry for the delay . . . trying to get all the parts to do this job as well as 500 hour service etc. Anyway today we tackled the beast. First off, could TYM make replacing the HST filter just a bit more difficult to replace on the T254, I wasn't quite challenged enough (heavy sarcasm). I'll...

Seals were ordered the other day from my not so local TYM dealer. I'll use OEM for this but plan to measure and make a note so next time I might find something local if necessary. I'll look into the idea about hooking something to the ROPS. I'm a bit concerned about balance and that the axle...

Thanks for the tip on the sealer. I will take pics and document what I did (right) as I go along. Will probably do on the other items I'm repairing as well so someone could learn from my mistakes / successes. I'm ordering parts now. It may be a pdf with photos instead of a video. The size of...

Hi, former lurker now "proud" owner of a used T254 with loader and belly mower. Got it at an online auction . . . note to self, when spending that much money go and inspect anything you buy. Anyway, it looks like I will get to know this machine intimately, and I feel in the end I'll have a...

Looking for advice. I volunteer to mow the local cross country ski trails to prepare them for winter. Fairly rough terrain, a few stumps that should be ground, ruts etc. Most cutting is light grasses, ferns and goldenrod, some sections of heavier marsh like grass, some tag alder usually no wider...

I'm very much a newbie when it comes to tractors. I volunteer to help maintain a ski / bike / hike trail system near Calumet, Michigan. Our club just purchased a used John Deere 970 (4x4) with an 80 Loader. We have a flail mower and box scraper on the way that should be here next week. There...
