New TC35 Owner

[mpilihp]

Just bought a 2005 TC35 and have a few questions,

It did not come with an owners manual, I searched the intnernet and there does not appear to be one available to download, can you only buy a hard copy?

There are several switches inside the cab I do not know what they do, two on the right side fender.

Also what switch is the glow p!ugs?

Thank you

Phil

Be careful - I just checked a "free download" site and my security software warned me to not download from the site.

Anyhow - check with your local dealer - an owners manual should be free or at least not cost a fortune. If you are talking about a Service Manual - well, that's an entirely different can of fish.

I don't want to start a rant, but I wonder what everybody does with their OM's. Your lack of receiving one with the purchase of the tractor is FAR from rare.

Hang in there Phil - somebody who is familiar with your unit should be along soon to answer your questions.

You can buy a manual on ebay for $25-$30. On my NH, there is no switch for glow plugs. You just turn the key to on (not crank) and the glow plug light comes on. When it goes off, you crank the engine.

It's an amber light on the bottom of the dash - under the tach. It will come on, and then go off after 15 seconds or so.

Hi all thanks for the info/help. I plan on changing all fluids and filters and planning on going with dealer UHF for the hydro system, I think the better fluid is F200?? WHile I'm at the dealer Ill ask about a manual.

As for indicators and controls in the cab, here is the first pic: I am guessing the glow plug indicator is the left most amber indicator? But what is the other one and what are the green indicators?

I didn't try it but I assume the big red switch in the middle is hazards?


IN this pic, what does this lever switch do? I tried it and see nothing happening, is it a blinker?


Pic 3 is on the right side over the right rear wheel, what does the red and green switches do?


Pic 4 what does the 'LOCK' lever lock?


Pic 5 below the steering wheel what does this lever do?


My last question is how fast should a TC35 be able to move in low range and then in high? Barely seams to move in low. When I was in high with throttle half way it struggled to go up a slight grade in my side driveway, I'm hoping that is not a sign of an issue.

Last when driving straight a long ways it seams the steering wanders to one way. Appears its fully hydraulic steering, could I have a leaking ram??

Thanks

Cheap on EBay

Glow plugs, oil, battery. On the Right Parking brake and PTO. Not sure about green lights without looking at my tractor (turn signals?)

I didn't try it but I assume the big red switch in the middle is hazards? I think so



IN this pic, what does this lever switch do? I tried it and see nothing happening, is it a blinker? Signal lights



Pic 3 is on the right side over the right rear wheel, what does the red and green switches do?
I don't have a cab, so no help,



Pic 4 what does the 'LOCK' lever lock?




Pic 5 below the steering wheel what does this lever do?
Isn't that your tilt steering wheel lock?

Try it higher RPMs

I just confirmed on my tractor. The switch on the dash with the green panel turns on the headlights. The one with the red panel is the emergency flashers. The rotary knob turns on different configurations of the lights. two of the green panels in your dash will be turn signals.
