    Cleaning creosote from a smoker

    Bitter ribs? Time to clean it out. Mine was pretty bad but I found that hitting it with a propane torch first will melt and crystalize the creosote so it can be easily scraped off. Sometimes it just peels off on it's own. If you let it build up you'll usually end up with a bitter taste from the...

    DIY FEL bucket forks

    In the past when I was moving tree branches and brush around I found it difficult to load longer branches into the bucket without the pile spilling out. I've seen several video where others bought or made bucket forks so I decided to make a pair and see how it goes. Nothing heavy, these are...

    What are your favorite BBQ knives and tools?

    I've been making do with a 30 year old kitchen set by Farberware and they just aren't cuttin'it anymore.. :) Sry. I mostly slice pork rib meat, occasional brisket, and turkey and found my old knives, even though sharp, tend to pull or shred the meat as they cut. I've been looking at the...

    914A MMM removal on a TC29D

    I'm finishing up some winter maintenance and going through the hassle of dragging out the 914A mower from underneath. Normally I can Curl the bucket down to lift the front end but I have the 7308 FEL off for hoses and cylinder rebuild. I used a floor jack to raise the front end but there's...

    TC29D bad water pump

    It started when I noticed the tachometer wasn't showing the proper RPM's and the Gen light stayed on after start. Looked into it and found the fan belt was loose. While adjusting the fan belt I noticed the fan seemed loose and could be wobbled all around yet no leaks of coolant. I was hoping...

    Pulled pork sandwiches today

    Big'ol 8 Lb. chunk of pork butt was tossed in the smoker last night around 2am. This morning at 8am the outside temp was 38f and the pork was sitting at 165. I always wrap it in foil to retain the moisture and get through the stall a little faster so this should be ready by lunch time. At a $1...

    Loader  7308 Lift arm problems

    Hello again everyone. I can't believe it's been about 15 years since I posted in here about anything with my 1999 NH TC29D. With some routine care it's been 100% trouble free. I know this place always has the answers to any problems so here I am. My lift arms can lift anything I need without...

    Another filter question

    Hey all, it's been about 100 hrs. of trouble-free seat time for me on my TC-29D and no real reason to post any questions here. Some of you may remember back when my horse ate my seat cusion, I ended up paying the price and getting the OEM replacement. No others would fit properly, I even...

    New seat for TC29D

    I left the tractor outside with a tarp over it when a horse came along, pulled the tarp off and chewed up the seat. Any one bought a new seat lately that fits this model? The OEM seat is pretty pricey $$$. Tazz.

    TC29D Seat Slamma-Jamma

    One of the main reasons I had my eye on the Boomer series is the comfort and ergonomics of operating this tractor. I often find myself on board for 4-6 hours on my "Boomer Day" and so far feel I made the right decision. Needles to say the seat itself plays a major role and with the TC29D it...

    Priming the cylinder

    I have a neighbor with a red tractor but I figure blue tractor owners can answer this just in case it were happen to me. The other day a rubber hydraulic hose blew off the fitting on the FEL bucket (weak crimp). There was very little fluid loss but I believe that air got into the system when...
