Cleaned out my sediment bowl yesterday and when I reinstalled it and turned the fuel back on it would not fill up the bowl. In the manual it said something about the fuel return line's must be blocked but it does not show where the lines are or where they go. Any help? Once someone tells me...

Would drilling into the large metal part just above the bucket harm the loader. I'm talking of the area where the standard hydrulic lines arre attached, I want to bolt an angle on there for my bulkhead fitting to the grapple. Probably only need 2 holes for bolts.

The fuel filter on my tractor shows a little discoloration (grey or milky) at the bottom of the filter, what is it?

A piece of property I purchased had a mobil home on it and I removed the mobil home. The power to the home was plugged into a box on the meter pole with a 4 prong 125/250V 50amp plug and now I am going to build a small shed there. Can I make some sort of extension box that uses this 4 prong...

Anyone put a suspension seat on a basic model TC tractor? If it's not going to cost me a grand to put one on my TC40 I would like to do it.

Going to set up a fuel transfer system to use for both diesel and kerosene out of 55 gallon drums. I have been looking at Northern T&E and will probably go with the model FR1620 pump for ease of switching between tanks plus flexibility to pump from other containers if needed. Now to the...

If you are using a rotary hand pump with a 8' hose do they make a nozzle for it that will auto shut-off when your tank fuel level reaches the nozzle. I would like to set up a drum for fuel but where it will be located I will not be able to pump and watch the tractor tank fuel level at the same...

Does anyone find that the hole in the drawbar is extremely large? At least on my TC40 the drawbar hole must be about 1 1/2" in diameter and any attachment I have only takes about a 3/4" bolt; such as a clevis or tongue on my wagon. Thoughts, comments?

No I am not tileing my tractor! I am putting up a tile backsplash and have a question about an inside corner. Do you place one tile dead into the corner then leave your grout gap between that tile and your next tile running down the other wall. Or do you leave a grout gap directly in the...

I have about 30 gallons of Kerosene I salvaged from a tank that supplied fuel for an old mobil home. The Kerosene is probably 5 years old and I used it last year in my torpedo heater without any problems. I now have the furnace from that mobil home in my garage and I want to use the Kerosene...

Does anyone have one of their grappels? For my TC40 and 16LA loader they suggest the RBG-60 unit which is 567 lbs but I'm more inclined to get the RBG2-48 at 325 lbs or the RBG2-60 at 365 lbs. Of course they are being cautions because they do not know how it will be used. I know Island...

With all my searching I have only found two places that makes a toothbar that will fit over a bolt on cutting edge. One place is Berlon and the other is New Holland and I don't hear many people getting this style of toothbar. The cost of one of these is about double over the ones that do not...

Was pulling some logs out for firewood Saturday and noticed that my temp wasn't going up. Felt the hoses and they only felt warm, not hot, so I was thinking probably the thermostat; pulled the wire off the sensor and the needle dropped completely. No internet where my tractor is located so...

I have a 10 year old 5' bush hog with a slip clutch on it that that has never been maintained. Well this weekend I loosened all the bolts and attempted to have the clutch slip but was not able to make it slip. With all the tension off the springs I ran it through heavy grass, cut low into the...

Most times I apply the brakes I get kind of like a shuttering noise out of it but it does stop. Any thoughts?

Just noticed two large nail pops on a section of my house roof and was wondering what to do. It is a single layer of shingle roof that is about 10 years old and in two places I see a nail is really stressing the shingles what appears to be a good inch or more. Haven't noticed any leakage...

May want to trailer our ford Windstar about 1300 miles one way and I was wondering what the best or most economical way to do this is. I know best and economical are never the same but what are my options? Would a uhal car dolly where the rear wheels stay on the ground in toe work for a trip...

Just wondering how people use their 3PH cutters. Do you cut square corners? If so how? Do you lift the cutter to make turns or run it down with the weight on the wheel/s? Clockwise or counter-clockwise? I run clockwise around the field and cut sharp corners lifting the cutter to turn. Run...

Anyone have contact info for Pirahna grapple? Just can't seem to find the manufacturer for this company, guess maybe that should be telling me to stay away!

Does anyone have filter cross reference data for the TC40 series tractors? I picked up an oil filter $9.44; Hydraulic filter $27.29, fuel $6.81, and outer air $18.61. I suspect I can get a very good quality aftermarket filter for a little less.

With all of the talk of grapple weights I never have seen anyone mention the weight of a bucket either standard or heavy duty bucket.

Just wondering if anyone has damaged this grapple such as bending it during use. Anyone using it to move stones?

Anyone using this mower which is a 7' mower with a 9" offset on one side? I'm looking for a new mower to attach to my TC40A and this was suggested by the dealer when I asked about a 6' cutter for the tractor. I'm cutting my own fields, some of which are rough and with hills so I was looking at...

Wondering what position people place the loader in when your tractor is parked, not being used. My particular interest is where the loader could see some weather while parked. My tractor is backed into a building with no door and the front of the loader is at the very end of the building so it...

Are there any negatives to using washer fluid for ballast in the rear tires? My tire size (14.9 x 24) will allow for about 47 gallons per tire but I'm looking at only 25 gallons. That amount will add about another 200 lbs per tire giving me about 400 lbs total per side with my wheel weights...

Where does K1 clear fall in the diesel fuel catagory? This summer I tore down an old mobil home that was on my property so I saved the fuel from the tank, I was having the tank filled with Kerosene. I drained the tank into a drum and the kerosene is pink color, is this just dyed K1 kerosene...

How does one buy lines for attachments? Measure and buy pre-made or buy materials and make to fit?

Anyone have these? The toothbar is supposed to fit over the reversible cutting edge and I was wondering how they worked together. Price on the 72" edge is $285 and the toothbar is $483. Seems like a good idea to have the cutting edge so I guess I'll get that for sure and it would be nice to...

Lots of posts of people attaching toothbars but does anyone use a bolt on cutting edge attached to the holes in the bucket? What else would those holes be for? When I was reading the Markam site about their tooth bar they indicate it will not fit over the bolt on edge. It would seem to me...

Just curious if anyone uses a block heater on their tractor for the winter? Out of all the used ones I looked at only one had a heater.

I have been looking for a good used TC45 and although I found some they weren't configured like I wanted it to be and the prices were ok but not a steal. With the 0% finance deal it was more attractive to buy the TC40 new and get it like I wanted it. Ag-tires 14.9x24 16LA loader 72" HD bucket...

Now that I'm more seriously looking at tractors the quick attach seems like a big selling point but from reading it sounds like they are all propritory to individual manufactuers. Just because you buy an implement with it doesn't mean it will fit your tractor.

If I go new it would be TC40A, wide R1's, QA HD bucket, 2 set remotes, 400lb of wheel weights @ approximately $24,000 (0% 4yrs) If I go used it is 2005 TC45A @ 200 hrs, R4's, QA HD bucket 1 set remotes @ $19,000 plus interest = $21,600. I would replace the R4's with R1's at my local shop for...

I was given two options today for tires sizes to include on a tractor TC40 or 45. Available is 14.9x24 and 8x16 or 13.6x24 and 7x16 and price difference abour $400. What are some thoughts on using one size over the other? My initial thoughts are to go wide for more stability on hill sides and...

My kitchen project is in the third quarter finally, I'm ready to install trim and have couple of questions. What is the difference between Brads and Finish nails and where/why would you use one over the other? My other issue is that the run on one leg of cabinets across the top is about 8' 2"...

What does and how does this button work? I am seriously looking at the 40 and 45 and still can't pull the trigger on hydro. I want to handle a 6' brushhog in Northeast PA rough and hilly terrain and I just think the 40 would be maxed out with the hydro and 6' cutter. I would also use the FEL...

May have found one with 197 hours on, has loader with quick attach and one rear remote sitting on R4 tires. Asking price $20,000 but I am thinking of offering 18K.

"from all the discussion on here it is pretty clear that if you are buying a 4330 with HST you will suffer for power" This is a quote taken from another post. Now I am considering buying another tractor and had been leaning towards the 4330HST, but my fear all along has been getting HST and...

In the process of remodeling my kitchen and I am going to put new 5/8" plywood down over the top of the base floor, which is tongue-and-groove plank, laid diagonally across the joist. My questions are: Do I have to leave the plywood inside the house a few days before installation to acclimate...

Remodeling my kitchen and want to put 6" canister lights in. What is the standard location for lights? Someone told me you want them set back a few inches off of the front edge of the counter top. The way I see it there is only about 12" between the counter top edge and the leading edge of...

I grew up on a 52 JD "B" and when it quit working for my dad many years ago he parked it and picked up a nice JD 1010. The main chore is brush hogging. Well I picked up another 52 "B" so I can use the sickle bar mower; well it looks good in print but everyone knows I just wanted the "B"...

Looking to buy a job compressor for future home/barn construction and maintenance projects plus the usual garage use of tires. I am not a contractor so it will not see everyday use. Still I would like it to handle two roofing or framing nailers. Would a compressor like this run an impact gun...

How does this transmission work? Do you not have to stop to shift through the 4 gears? I assume you do have to stop to shift ranges. Again I assume you do have to stop (or nearly stop) to change direction. Does anyone know the ground speed of the various ranges in this transmission for the...

How much weight can you add to the front end of a typical CUT tractor using the suitcase weighs? Enough to equal the weight of an FEL?

Optional hydraulic\'s What type of equipment are people using that requires additional hydraulic hook-ups? I plan on purchasing within the next year something with a FEL which I would someday add a grapple to, would I need an additional line for this? If someday I had the intention of adding...

Can anyone tell me how this transmission works? According to the web page you can shuttle between reverse and forward by clutching and moving a shuttle leaver. What I am wondering is how is this transmission set up, must be a range selector, how many gears per range. I am assuming it has a...

Had a couple of replies concerning the transmission on the tractor and now I would like to hear what some of the owners are using this tractor for. It is fairly new so you don't hear much about it, any owners out there? Likes and Dislikes?

Looking at the L4400 tractor which has the gear drive transmission which includes a mechanical shuttle shift in the low and reverse ranges. Can anyone tell me how this transmission works when in low shifting between forward and reverse? Do you use the clutch? Can you use it at any RPM?

Hydrostatic vs. Manual pro\'s and con\'s Have started my research on tractors and really would like to hear the good and bad of these two different transmissions. Other than the old man ease of use factor why select hydrostatic? To me it seems like a more high maintenance option over the...
