TN70 won't start unless I kick the clutch, HARD

Re: TN70 won\'t start unless I kick the clutch, HARD

Unfortunately, I always think of cab tractors as the norm, they have easily removeable panels above the pedals. Non-cabbed tractors do not enjoy that feature; apparently components under the cowl do not need servicing on open station TN's /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif. Try removing the instrument panel and see what kind of access that provides. Can't say I ever had to remove the black panel on a non-cabbed TN as most of them are mechanical shuttle tractors.

/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif I had a oil leak at the base of the steering column on my open station TN. My dealer told me to just try to tighten the fitting. I looked at it and told them to do it (still under warranty). I went to visit the mechanic and was glad to let them do it when I saw how much work they had to do just to get a wrench in there. Ended up having a burr in the compression fitting which was the problem but I pity anyone who has to work in that area of the TN (and the loader mounts don't help with access any either).

Sorry Robert, saying the "K" word in here is like swearing in church. Sorry, it won't happen again. I'll go wash my mouth out with diesel right now. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Little did my Dad know that after he fought the Japanese in the South Pacific for 3 years that I'd be sitting on an orange tractor! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I'll slink back to where I belong now, with the rest of the traitors in that "other" forum. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
