What could I expect to pay for a mid mount pto installed and a belly mower for my 2003 TC40D-SS?

I'm having second thoughts about buying the x354 and I'm looking at x570. I thought I'd need the power steering w/ the 354: 4 wheel steer because of reviews from users w/ back problems. Now I find I need to worry re/ fail reports on K46 tranny in x354; whereas the K72 in x570 is serviceable and...

Just ordered 2016 JD X354-42A to be delivered next wk. Looked online for Op Manual to get a jump start on using the tractor and they want $ and order it by Decal# (no got's yet). Do I get an Op Man. with the tractor or must I pay extra? I know the Tractor Repair Manual for my New Holland...

I have a 1995 BCS 850 with a 30" rototiller. I'd like to use the shallowest adjusted depth to lightly turn in cover crop seeds. I'd rather not rent or buy the recommended lawn roller so i just want to till the seeds in very shallow. Anyone know the depth of the 30" tiller on shallowest? Anyone...

I haven't been able to get grease through the zerk of the lower swing cylinder bearing (item #16 pg. page 14 lube chart 2003 NH 758C backhoe Op. Manual). I removed the zerk, sprayed hole w./B Blaster and used a round file handle to clean out the hole some. I did the same on upper fitting #15 and...

Re/ my prev. post on lack of TC40D SS front end traction while bucket plowing snow: Would it be bad for the front end to add Rim Guard and or V-Bar chains? I think I heard somewhere that the front end is kind of fragile. I will try rear steer w./ separated brakes. Sounds like a great idea...

I'm trying to plow snow with my FEL and bucket on my TC40D Super Steer (chains on rear wheels) and I'm getting thrown off course with each pass. How can I get the front wheels to track where I want. Extra snow in the bucket doesn't seem to help. Neither does bucket angle. Raising the FEL helps a...

My Optima 34 battery is fading after 7 years but the new ones have bad reviews. I need recommendations for a replacement. Good warranty and durability are most important to me. I have searched the web for hours and found lots of biased, self congratulatory reports but little substantial...

My rear hydraulic lift arms won't raise. I've tried adjusting the valve on the floor on front of seat to no avail. Fluid is topped off. Manual didn't give an answer that I could find. Will this mean sending it to the $hop??

The ball won't fit in my trailer receiver. There's a nut on a short adjustable flange in the receiver. Lying on your back and looking up which way do you turn the nut to loosen the flange so the ball will fit in?

I have to stand on the arms of my TC40D's 3Pt. Hitch to get it to go down any faster than creeping. It raises fine. What could be wong? It used to raise and lower at the same brisk speed. Thanks, Chris

Two things I bought from Gemplers didn't fit when tried today on my R4 valves. One was a Quick Fill tractor tire attachment for tires filled w/ ballast. I removed the valve core and the tube of the Quick Fill was almost the same dia. as the valve. The second was a simple Air/Liquid tire pressure...

I think I've got to pump the rimguard out of my R4 tires (currently at Dished In 78" position) and move them back to the Dished Out 68.3" wheel base so I can 1) decrease hard pan and 2) Limit tracks by pulling wheels in closer to the 55" length of the JD655 rototiller (largest) I can rent...

When I have my TC40D up on jack stands, in neutral, brake off, pto off, She won't freewheel which I need her to do so I can rotate a tire to put on chains. Is this normal, is there a cure? Nothin' in the manual. Thanks, Chris

Are there really 4 positions (tires, rims and "dishes") for my rear tires each with their own separation as measured from outside of tire to tire? Anyone know what the distances are/ position? My trailer only allows 82" useable deck width and I need a tire position using most of that so I can...

Was running the snow blower attachment on my 850 back and forthat a mean snowdrift. Flipped into rev. one last time , heard high p[itch grind noise and it died. Auger spins freely, it's out of gear both pto and drive trany, but no start. Fuel is full, carb doesn't smell fuely, pulled plugs and...

I'm having prob's finding aggressive chain for my industrial 17.5x24, 8PR, R4. I'm told by dealer I need to switch tires side to side to get needed clearance under fenders. Dealer says ordinary chains are backorded. I had these tires loaded and they,re slidding around like 4x4 was never...

Big rain on TC40D outside last weekend followed by fast freeze. Tractor on engine heater, starts right up, but releasing E-Brake handle kills/stalls it. Tried holding E-brake handle up while easing pedals out, OK, but releasing that handle kills it. Also tried holding up E-brake, releasing...

I'd like to find replacement value collision insurance for my tractor, trailer and attachments so I can haul my stuff at least 250 miles one way starting from CT. Anyone know of a good company?

I'm looking (4 hours on web today) for a trailer hitch receiver to clamp onto my forks. Search keeps coming up clamp-on bucket types. I think I don't want to have my 72" bucket blocking my view and certainly don't want that huge thing blocking me trying to guide my log splitter into the garage...

I just bought 5 gal. of SEF94 with no ethanol for around $60. Why? I'm sick of taking my 4 Stihl chain saws, 1 brush cutter, 1 backpack blower, 1 logsplitter, 1 compressor and 1 BCS mower in for de-gunking of the carburettors etc. to the tune of around $500 this year alone. Seems I can't...

Can anyone tell me the volume (cu. ft.) of my TC40D HD FEL bucket?

After 740 engine hours on my purchased new TC40D, I stumbled across and acted upon TBN posts in this forum revealing the problem of cold engine running. Winter or Summer my temp gauge has stayed below green no mater how hard I worked it. I thought at least it's not overheating but something...

I'm looking for a source and ballpark price for a narrow bucket for my 758C backhoe. I'm thinking 8" and no teeth would yield a clean sided trench. I recently got a ripper tooth with trencher attachment from Brotec and it does a fine job of carving a trench but lots of material falls back in and...

I'm doing a 600 hr transmission, rear axle, and hydraulic system oil change on my TC40D, with 758C backhoe attached, as per the manual. The fluid I drained out of the two sump drain plugs (transmission and rear axle) only came to about 8 gallons although the level was up prior to draining. I...

I have Farmi 351P winch on the 3pt. of my TC40D and am getting an intermittent loud squeal from the area of the PTO activator lever to the left of seat. The winch works fine. I can stop the squeal by moving the lever to off. Is there anything below the lever panel, linkage or whatever that could...

I'm having knee trouble and this latest bout is a direct result of climbing up and down off TC40D tractor and backhoe. Did you know that a mere 20 cycles to and from pickup site and placement site (3" crush stone for bank stabilization not placeable with FEL bucket) results in 160...

Sometimes, going down a slope, my 2003 BCS 850 with 30" HD mower attached grinds when I pull reverse. It makes a horrible "SCREEEEE". The clutch and cables are new. It doesn't mater if the PTO is disengaged. Sometimes I can get it to go cleanly into reverse by flipping into forward, then back...

758C operators manual suggests freeing the lower end of the cylinder rod to remove the rod from the cylinder tube to perform the wiper seal replacement. I've had a 3 day nightmare trying to get the Guide Link (2 pins/arms) lower pin to come free of the dipperstick rod lower end w./ it's 2...

So where do I turn for the new improved Pat's Easy Change instructions, diagrams and pictures? Following the thread sends me into internet limbo. I bought this thing in Aug, '06 but wasn't able to use it with my Farmi winch as the PTO shaft was too short. Since then I replaced the shaft with a...

I took my 10K trailer to the public scale loaded up with TC40D, BH, chains & binders, and with the bucket & forks in the dump bed of my Fuso FG140 (GVWR: 14050; GCVWR: 17040). Weighed in @ 18930, almost 1 ton over. I can trim down by removing components e.g. bucket & forks, side board and tail...

Where are some good/legal places to attach chain to my TC40D SS to secure, FEL, and BH to my 16' 10K# trailer? I've been reading the Trailering discussions and there are various suggestions, none for tractors with SS and I'm concerned about stressing the front axle and also scuffing the paint by...

I'm looking for accessories for my new mid size (14050 gcvw) 4X truck and my >10,000 lb. cap. trailer. Stuff like tire blocks, tow straps, emergency kits, stowage crates, chains and binders and tie down hardware and straps. The truck is a Mitsubishi Fuso FG w./10 ft. dump body and pintle hitch...

I can't get the couplers on the hydraulic hoses to my 758C backhoe to mate up with the tank port (rear) and power beyond hose (underneath). I tried toggling the FEL valve to release presure but, hard as I push, they won't stay together. It seems they are just a hair short of joining and clicking...

My Farmi logging winch PTO shaft won't reach with 'Easy Change' installed on my NH40D. It's the reason I bought 'Easy Change'. Does anyone know if Farmi makes a longer PTO shaft for the 351P winch, or perhaps know of a high quality after market shaft? Additionally the 'Pat's Adjustable...

I'm looking for wrenches, sockets, impact sockets and driver made in America large enough to work on NH tractors. Up to at least 2" opening with 3/4" or maybe 1" drive. Don't want to outsource our jobs; tools must be made here not just marketed thru American front. Thanks.

I'm just finishing the clean up for leak of NH bat and installed new plate (among many other parts and hours). The Optima 34R Interstate sold me won't fit between the clamps. It's too narrow by fractions of inches, and the clamps are too tall for the bat's narrow lip. It would slop left and...

Why?: The lever at the base of the column allowing tilt doesn't grip and release properly and won't lock the column. The telescopic feature has the same prob. with the knob in the center of the wheel not releasing or locking. I think this is related to freeze/thaw of water trapped in the column...

I'm considering this log splitter aka "the big one" with a few options e.g.: 4 way wedge, log lift, and hitch extension. They're made in NY and sold thru dealers. The AM25S has a 6 sec. cycle time and "is a favorite of commercial operations". I'm not commercial, but have tried vertical machines...

This is my second go-round with battery leak damage on my TC40D and I'd like to be done with it. The tractor has been down for two weeks with a hydraulic steering leak caused by leaking acid and I've been removing parts too badly corroded to replace including battery plate and bolts. A mechanic...

How much discount \'02 40D new on dealers\' lot? How am I doing if the dealer will sell me a "new" '02 40D with supersteer for same as 03 without? Well; ok, he wants $500 extra. Any technical difference? Hey, please stop the chatter about the "soon to arrive" new 48's or whatever with more...

I'd be greatfull for comparisons and personal experiences w/ different type mounts of snowblowers suited to a 40 hp tractor (TC40D). I wonder if there is a FEL mount unit available? It seems it would be easier to drive a cleared path (and not have to twist my neck watching behind) and easier to...

I'm re-posting this w/ mods from orig. on Gen. forums Owning/operating on advice to get more bites. I'd like to hear more of what Remote Control Valve/s can do w/ attachments on soon to be my 40D. Just learned thru DocHEb, jinman, AndyMA and Larry_Van_Horn about: Hydraulic Top Link as in tilting...

What would I gain by getting Rear Remote Control Valve/s on new 40D? Dealer can't give me any examples of attachment I might need that don't require more hydraulic gpms than 40D offers. I'm getting 17LA FEL w/ Quick Attach System, pallet forks, 72" bucket. Wish list includes: skidder winch, tree...

Anyone know what attachments require draft control on TC40D? No tech help at NH. I wonder about tilling, plowing, and chisel plow w/ 40D.
