New Holland TC40D
Had my new TC40D delivered Friday and was underneath it on Sat. I parked it in front of the Barn and couldn't get it started. I reviewed the manual (totally useless and worthless) and found it contained nothing that could help me! (I know at this point you are shocked) I suspected one of the safety switches (having had that problem before) and traced the seat switch but no luck there. I called the dealer and was told that the mechinac went home at noon (!....?) but someone would call me back. I did recieve a call and began to trace a number of wires under the operator's station . They were all loose and hanging in "mid-air"! Sure enough one of them that appeared connected was not and that proved to be my solution. SO! BEWARE!! If you can't start.....better check under the operator's station for a loose wire! Congrats to the tech dept at NH for coming up with something my kids would have done!!!!! (the spaghetti western) On an other point.....does anyone have a good source for a troubleshooting guide for the NH TC40D? I probably could use one.
P.S. Thanks to everyone who provided valuable insight into my tire decision.......I went with the ag's.

Bob, congrats on the new tractor. Sorry for your bad luck. But a loose wire isn't too bad. Could have came loose during transportation.

I just had my TC40D delivered last Saturday. I bought the repair and parts manuals as part of the deal. They weren't cheap, but are extremely detailed and each section has a troubleshooting section in the back. There are detailed wiring diagrams too, labeled with numbers that have corresponding labels on the wire. I thought that was a nice touch.

Have fun with your new tractor!
