Little Twig Dissables $20K Tractor #2.

[rmlucasco]

A little stick got up under the hood of my TC33Da. It caused the belt to pop off, which caused the tachometer to stop working. Just as I noticed that, steam leapt from under the hood an it became obvious that the tractor had over heated (time lapsed = 10 minutes from starting the machine for the day). I let it cool down and tried to start it to get it on the trailer - nothing happens. I found tha a little 10 amp fuse was fried too.

Conclusion: The TC33 needs some serious underbody protection. See my "little wire" thread for more info on how my tractor is regularily done in by tiny little twigs. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
