Here a link to a great video on YouTube that shows the linkages:

Were you able to get this solved? I have a Troy Bilt Pony as well. Great tiller! The engine has two shafts. The extra one is for the reverse pulley. Does your engine have the two shafts?

I figured it must be something like that. Thanks.

I am talking about the 3 point lift arms. Moving the lever down, or forward is raising the arms, and moving it up, or back, is lowering them, which is the opposite of how every tractor I have ever used has been. It can't be right.

I am borrowing a Ford 1710 tractor, and the hydraulic lift operates backwards. When the control lever is pushed down, the arms raise, and when pushed up, the arms lower. What would cause this?

I tried driving the tractor and shifting without the clutch, going downhill. I came back up the hill in 1st high, which is the gear I would usually use on that hill, and everything seemed normal - no clutch slipping. What does that test say tell though? If I can't get the tractor into gear...

Another thing that is happening with the cross arm shaft, is that it has quite a bit of play where it comes out of the clutch housing. If it is right close to the housing it catches and does not move, and if it is a little further out, then it moves, but there is only about an inch or so when...

OK. Thanks. I will try that test.

I had a driveline stuck on the PTO shaft before. I tied the driveline side to a tree with a chain and parked the tractor on the downhill side of the tree, putting some light tension on the chain by letting the tractor roll down the hill. I then heated the driveline where it connected to the PTO...

OK. Thanks.

That was my thought as well.

I am not sure. He didn't mention the pilot bearing. I may call them back and ask.

The tractor has 2,200 hours on it. Thanks for the advice about making alignment dowels, and rolling the front end away.

It has a dry clutch. I am attaching a scanned pages from the repair manual that gives instructions about removal and replacement of the clutch, replacement of the clutch release bearing, and troubleshooting and specifications. It says that an alignment arbor FNH 00077 tool is needed to align...

The cross arm shaft it's expensive, but to install it involves splitting the tractor from what I can tell. Thanks for your thoughts on whether the clutch needs to be replaced, and the information on dry vs. wet clutches.

The arm cracked once before, and I had it welded. It had held for around 5 years. There was not much freeplay in the clutch pedal before this. The clutch pedal was fairly low, even with it adjusted as much as the linkage would allow. I can get the tractor into 1st low, by operating the cross...

Does it only make the noise when the tiller is attached? What about when the PTO is engaged without the tiller? Is the noise only when the tractor is in gear with the tiller on it and the PTO engaged?

I have a good set of hand tools and a clean shop to work on it, and a floor jack like CalG mentioned. When I talked with the local New Holland Dealer about what it would cost for them to repair it, I was told that a puller was needed to remove the clutch. I have the repair manual, and it...

The clutch on my New Holland TC 30 seems to have gone out, and I am thinking of trying to do the work of replacing it myself. Are there special tools needed to replace the clutch? I realize that replacing the clutch involves splitting the tractor. This is something I have not done before, but...

Thanks in advance for any help with this issue. I have a New Holland TC 30 that I think the clutch might have gone out on, though I am not sure. Recently, the cross shaft arm that comes out of the clutch housing cracked, and at the same time I became unable to get the tractor into gear due to...

There is an old 2 row corn planter for sale locally that I am looking at to possibly buy. I could not tell what make it is though. Wondering if from the picture someone here might be able to tell. It's got some red paint on it in places. The price is $250.00. Wondering also the pros and...

My New Holland TC 30 has been stalling lately. Sometimes it just dies, and other times it loses power and then recovers, or sort of surges. I have cleaned the fuel filter and bled the lines at the injectors. I am wondering if it could be the fuel injection pump, and how to test it. Any...

I picked up an Oliver Superior Grain Drill, and am trying to see if I can use it for planting a field. I took the drain plugs out of gear boxes to see what the oil looked like, and if it had oil. It seems to have grease in it. A bit of water came out of one of the gear box drain holes...

I ran over a rock and the part where the hydraulic filter mounts onto the transmission housing broke. A new one from New Holland costs $150.00. I was wondering if anyone here knows if there is a less expensive place to get the part. I looked for the part no. on the Messicks website, but it...

I got a post hole digger at an auction, and am trying to find a seal for the input shaft. I think the post hole digger is made by Five Star, and they are not in business any more. Wondering if someone here might have an idea of how I could get another seal for it. Am attaching photos of the...

I bought a post hole digger at an auction, though am not sure of the brand. It has part of a sticker on it, and I can read an "F", and I think an STA". I think it could be either a "Five Star" or a "Farm Star". Wondering if it looks familiar to anyone here. The seal where the driveshaft...

I have a chance to get a used Taarup disc mower, though am wondering if my 30 HP tractor will have enough power for it. The mower has 4 discs. The tractor has 25 HP at the PTO. Wondering if someone here has experience running a disc mower on a 30 HP tractor. Thank you in advance.

Sorry, posted this in the wrong forum. Will post in the attachments forum.

I have the 3 point lift housing bolts off, though the next issue I have run into, is how to remove it. I talked with a mechanic at the local New Holland Dealer, and he said it can be hard to get the housing off, and that it might require a cherry picker, though I don't have one. The roll bar...

I have a New Holland TC 30 that is leaking oil from the PTO shaft. Trying to remove the shaft to replace the seal. Has anyone had trouble getting the shaft out of the housing? I watched a You Tube video on it, and it came right out in the video, but mine is not so easy. Posting a couple...

I purchased a used PZ drum mower at an auction. I believe it is a 165. Am attaching a photo of it. I was wondering if anyone on this forum might know more about this mower, or have a manual for it. I would like to get it functional this summer. It is missing the pto shaft. The blades have...

Hi. I am trying to repair an old disc I acquired. The disc axles go through two housings that seem as though they should have a bearing, though there is no bearing, just some sort of liner of unknown material. The housing and the liner are round, though the axle is square. Any...
