Hoping other owners can help. My EHSS jerks into gear like you are popping the clutch when using the inching pedal/clutch pedal. If you start from neutral and move the FWD/REV lever into FWD and do not use the clutch the machine makes a smooth take-off. Same for REV. It may be the pedal...

I need a frame and QT plate I can mount my 16" Class II forks onto. Thought I would build a rame myself but just don't have the time.

I've got a set of R4 17.5L-24 Rear rims and tires and a set of 10-16.5 front rims and tires that I bought for my Ford 2120 project. I bought a TC55 so I don't think I'll ever have time to convert the 2120. I need to know what they are worth.

Anybody have any profile shape drawings for a snow plow blade. Thought I'd have the web/ribs NC plasma cut and then roll a blade out of 10 gauge. Put it on a quick-tach plate for the FEL. Any suggestion appreciated as well.

I need to get serious about cross referencing my TC55DA filters. I ordered a Hydraulic filter from the dealer back in August and I new it was going to be $100. It took me so long to get back to the dealer that he put it in stock. The price has gone up to $150 SBA340500951 5 gals of 134 oil...

Im having some early rust issues on my 08 TC55 on the floor pans and sheet metal below the seat. When I got ready to repaint it I notice there was no primer beneath the Blue top coat. Is this a new process for NH. If so, it's not very heavy duty. I keep mine under a pole barn but driving rain...

Just got the TV and internet back today after Irene. I'm gonna leave the plywood on the windows for now. Anyway I have a 60' White Oak across my MIL's yard I need to cut up and move. I was cleaning my yard of smaller trees and all of a sudden my TC55 would not move. The seat switch seems to...

Installed my #1 rear remote today. After I mounted the valve body I attached the handle to make sure everything operated smoothly before I proceeded to do the plumbing. The spool was so hard to shift I removed it and returned it to the dealer. I felt like the lever force would break the...

Just bought the rear remote kit for my TC55. It has different parts than what is shown in the parts list of the instructions. 3ea 3/8-24 bolts for the valve body but also 3ea 3/8-24 studs. When should I use the studs? Kit is labeled 719933006 #1 position completing kit.

I have lots of spare chain and chains of the wrong length. Thought I'd try making some the correct length. Anyone try this Harbor Freight unit Chain Saw Chain Breaker/Spinner

I'd like to build a small trailer maybe 4' x 5' long for my walk behind ditch witch trencher. I'm in Virginia but I was wondering if your state allows for any type of 2 wheeled tow vehicle that doesn't require license plates? If I can determine that such an animal exist I can then search the Va...

Tax refund time!! Probably get enough to afford a rear remote kit. Does the kit require the valve and the handle package? Any recommendations for online sources.

I've realized I may be doing something different than the rest of you. When I get off of my TC55 I stand up turn and face forward and put a heel on the step in order to step down and exit. I learned this habit on my 2120 which has a much wider step so it projects out farther from the platform...

I need to build a Hard Top canopy for my TC55. I've got a sheet of 0.090 aluminun for the top skin. I think 52" wide and 65" long with a drip edge will work. My question is: in most of the production models I've seen, there is a dog-leg bend in the mounting plate from the ROPS. Is this necessary...

Is there a good spinner knob for the TC55. I notice these steering wheels have a much bigger dia. spoke and rim. Does NH make a factory knob?

I need to cut the ears off a loder bucket so I can weld on a Quick tach plate. Wlll a plasma torch cut almost flush or will I have a lot of grinding.

I always run Lincoln rods, mostly 6013. Last week I bought 5lbs of Hobart 3/32" 6013 at Northern. Running them on my Everlast PowerArc 200 DC. I have to turn the current down from 93 to 50 or the Hobart rods act like a sparkler. The puddle is very cold and the bead acts like it had quick...

Just go a Everlast 200 amp inverter welder. My prized Linde Heliarc 250 went bad last summer and I've been in a panic on what to do. I decided to try an inverter welder. I really like my copper and iron inductors for DC. But Wow, this thing is nice great arc control. I tried 5/32 on 5/16 plate...

Is there a power beyond port on the fender mounted control valve for the 270 loader. I'm asking because I wan't to add a 3rd function valve to the loader. I have one, I purchased for my 2120 that never got installed.

After asking TBN members as to what that hyd pump was under the platform I began to put 2 and 2 together. I've had this tractor for all of 3 hours. Bought it used with 36 hrs. Whenever I would start it cold it would make this hydraulic whine shutter, water hammer, noise from the area of this...

Is the hydraulic implement pump mounted to a mid PTO on this tractor? There is a funny pump looking thing under the right hand platform/fender.

My 1983 Linde/Union Carbide HeliArc 250 went kaput about two months ago. Seems the control board is bad and the unit has no current control. Runs wide open. Not good. ESAB doesn't have a new circuit board I've got welding projects stacked up so I need to get something. Need to put a new bucket...

Had to drive 300 miles and spent 10 hours on the road on Fri. It's home safe and sound. 2008 TC55DA with 36.7 hrs it now has 37.7. It got this red mountain dust mixed with grease that seems to coat everything. I spent yesterday with 2 cans of engine cleaner and a pressure washer to try and...

Anyone know of a source for a TC 55 shop manual. Can't beleive how much the dealer wants. I guess Ebay is the best bet unless someone around here has a used one. Suggestions.

I'm looking at a used Bush Hog Razorback 60" cutter. Are there any known weak spots to look for. I notice this cutter is in the economy range with a shear pin only and no clutch. I'm just using it for a small yard area.

Any one using spray irrigation. I need to get some feedback on tablet chlorinators vs UV disinfection. Are the tablet chlorinators reliable. Seems alot cheaper than UV but which is better.

PB is also called series/parallel connections. Here is a PDF that explains it rather well.

I bought a 12VDC 3rd function valve from Surplus Center ($110) and added some relays and built a push button set for my loader stick using 1" tube and a split collar. The non motor spool is a minor issue as long as there is not much inertia load back to the motor. Something as lite as a PHD at...

Sig, I had heard it only as a rumor as well. I was speaking of the 2007 bill Energy independence Act) that was passed yesterday by the House. Pres. Bush still has to sign it. They were going to take the some tax credits away from the oil companies to fund the consumer geothermal credit but I...

Started this 3 days ago. 3/4 T&G White Oak prefinished at Lowes $2.99 SqFt. Not bad quality but I've had to cut alot of the end joints square. My hands are too sore to work on it today. I guess the investment in tools may be a factor in which way you go. Get a good flooring air nailer if you go...

The Woods buckets have a power position pin hole that increases the mechanical advantage by about 1.5x. The bucket wont curl all the way up in this position but it is meant to increase break-out force. This is how I dig pine trees... I use a 12" and dig the dirt from around the stump but leave a...

I thought I'd build a 20 gal reservoir for my PTO pump. any suggestions. I was going to use 12 ga sheet and fold it into two "U" shaped pieces and invert one to form the top and sides and weld it up. Should the outlet be right at the bottom or slightly raised to keep water out of the system?

Welcome Joe. I was going to email you last time but had too much going on. I can send you the DXF file so it can go directly into the CNC. The problem I'm running into is cutting the center from the rim in a concentric manner. Not technologically but cost wise. Looked at CNC Laser, abrasive jet...

Welcome toTBN and join the "2120 I want different tires club".:D All dimension are metric so none of the new TC rims will fit. The front bolt circle is 180mm x 6 ea. Here is a print of the front dimensions and bolt pattern. I bought a set of 16" rims R4 with the thought of having the center...

During the Virginia blizzard of '06 (pictured below) we pretty near had to stay inside for 3 days until the roads cleared. No farther North for me. I'm sure that's a good 6 feet even without drifts!!

Dog, I've never seen those type of tires on a 2120. What option is that. Here is my R3 2120

My neighbor across the way had that pier put in last spring/summer. I've forgotten how long it is but I know it cost a pretty penny. As you can see in the other pic my pier decking is so rotten we can't use it so I guess that's a project for spring. Here's a not so peaceful spring Nor Easter...

OK. After reading Builder's post about full-size vs. compact I think I need to get a full size hoe. In fact, a CASE just like builder has would be great. Cab, air, 4wd. I want to use it for general residential construction. What is the best way to find a used unit. Online, call a dealer...

I've been looking for a 36" bucket for my Woods BH 9000 that can be used to cut trenches. There are a bunch of confusing terms flying around with people in excavating. I asked my dealer about a trenching bucket and he said I need a Cemetery bucket. I always thought a cemetery bucket was lighter...

Any comments on using a 3ft bucket on a Woods 9000 BH. Seems like a lot of bucket for a little machine. The dealer says it holds only as much as the 2 ft. I need 3 ft septic trenches about 24" deep in sandy-loam loamy-sand. Should I rent a big BH. The elev. needs to be +- 1" on trench btm. and...

I don't know any machinist forums to post this too so here goes. Anybody had any experience with burning 5/8" tap drill holes in 1/2" plate steel with a NC Laser. Does the material in the heat zone micro harden so as to make tapping very impractical? I can have it burned slightly under and then...

Does anyone have the dimension for a hard top. Any things to watch out for when building one. I have a sheet of aluminum 0.055 and thought I'd build one so I can hang some work lights and stuff overhead. I like this L48 Kubota unit but I don't have the dimensions. I wonder if that drip edge...

I was all set to build a new 6' material bucket with a bolt on edge. The design was done all the bends were checked I had purchesed the bolt on edge and I was ready to get a quote from a fab shop. I stopped by my dealer on a lark and saw this bucket way in the back lot. He said it didn't fit...

Hi Gang, I need some insight into all the good things people want when they buy or build or use a grapple Tine bucket. I plan on using it to move lumber, timber, place concrete pipe, dig roots and brush and demolish a small barn so it has a number of requirements that it must perform well. This...

I've got some questions about plow bolts and how they are installed. I looke in Machineries Handbook and SAE MFG Engineers Handbook and can't find any mention.

I thought I'd post some pics of my bolt on tooth bar you guys help me build. 72" Woods FEL bucket 6 teeth. I thought based on my usage 6 teeth would work well for me. I've been using it for 3 wks now and works great. I can even get more firewood in the bucket; may never remove it. Bought the...

After looking at other post on root grapples and all the things you can do with these I think I need one. I'll be clearing brush and small trees from a mostly sandy lot. Clean-up is important so it has to be loaded into a truck. My regular bucket is going to make for too many trips. The 66"...
