Looking at a TC33D - Recommendations?

[Turbys_1700]

That's a sweet looking rig...She's not even broke in yet...I don't understand why folk trade in stuff that new unless it's a have-to...Get us some action photos of the unit...I gotta get me a loader...

I'm interested in the purchase if you don't buy it. I have cash to pay for it and could use another one like it for work. Thanks

Does all the below info apply to the 2003 model TC33D's as well?

It's a repair kit ($100), not a recall. If there are rubber elbows connected directly to the hydraulic cooler, the kit has not been installed. If there are short sections of straight rubber tubing, it has.

I agree with daTeacha, get the dealer to install the kit before buying the tractor. Also get them to install an Optima battery. The poor design on the hydraulic lines and the battery are the only major problems on the old Class II Boomers. (I have a TC25D)

Other minor issues...

1. Throttle control that doesn't stay put. (remove trim below dash, remove nut where the throttle handle pivots, add thread locker, replace nut and tighten, replace trim)
2. Failed steering wheel shock absorber (the one that allows the column to be adjusted up and down) might need to be replaced.
3. Fogged instrument panel. (Replace)
4. Ignition switch. (Replace)

As far as I know, it does.
