Feeling blessed!!! While yanking out saplings with tractor, got tagged by a bee. Younger days was not an issue. Figured It was going to be an early day, since the bees had my number. On way to put tractor away, found another inconvenient dead sapling, so I pulled that out. Then things got real...

Always had the squeal until fluid warmed up. At times, when fluid low from leak, the valve spool would squawk. I changed the fluid and filters out as maintenance, now, it squawks more frequently when hot or cold. tried running the hydraulics thinking it was air cavitation, but didn't help. Fluid...

As I have posted before, I'm looking to buy some abutting land from neighbor. When we talked yesterday, they surprised me with a great offer for me to buy 18+/- acres. (I'm paying for survey, which will happen in March, weather dependent) It used to be a hay field, hasn't been cut in about 10...

Seems pretty cut and dry, drain tranny, drain differential, change filters, refill. My plan is to warm up, make sure all hyd. cylinders are contracted. Am I missing anything? I still have a small leak, 5 gals over 500+ hours. I think it is where trans hooks up to motor. Will address when it...

I want to purchase roughly 12 acres from my neighbor, who sold me the property we built on. It's in an open field abutting mine and runs along a town road. There are very few surveyors in area, I think there are only two in 1 hour drive. Seller doesn't want to pay for a survey, it's $5k plus add...

I have a brush hog mower I got with used tractor a few years back. One blade was bent pretty good, which I have since straightened to an acceptable degree. My question is on sharpening blades. I tried to sharpen when I took bent blade off to straighten. They were pretty well beat up. I just...

I use ear protection when operating lawn mowers, and brush hog. I have a set of electronic (?) noise canceling from Ryobi which has served me well for years. One issue is wearing glasses, as it allows noise in, which I have addressed by glasses placement. My neighbors, whom I purchased my...

If you feel like sharing, thanks, just to get to know more about fellow TBN ers. If you feel this is none of my business, please do not respond. I'm not a farmer, just a guy in Upper VT who retired and needed a tractor to help around the house. I own 10 acres, 7 wooded. Even with such a small...

Does anyone have any experience with a 1989 Bomadear mpv-20? Just came across one, looks to be in decent shape, can't find any value or reviews on them. This one has a roof, standard trans 9+3, front and rear pto, front mower, snow blower, brush hog and a blade. Looks like a pretty useful tool...

I've never had any gelling issues with my scut, although last year I used a cetone? booster which was billed as keeping injectors clean. I will be using my loader to clear driveway this year, as muscling around a heavy snow blower has been rough on my back. If it gets really cold, like below 0...

How many of you are Chemtrail believers? I have several friends who are, fanatically, but are unable to provide data. They say it is to control our availability of food etc. I have done so many searches, and all but 1 debunk it. Many many sources debunk it. The one that "proved" it, had a bunch...

Does anyone actually own a battery powered snow shovel? My wife wants one for clearing the deck, patio and walkway while I clear driveway and parking area. There is about 500sf in the areas she needs to clear. Portability is a must, 2 sets of stairs to maneuver.

Ok, so I posted about making a culvert, and with info posed here, I decided that my stream doesn't have the flow to install a culvert I can't afford to do as suggested. Someone, thank you, suggested what I would describe as a bed of stone. Since the stream is only 3' wide, and I have only seem...

I own a New Holland TC 29D. My neighbor asked me for a favor, I said I would help, if I could. Sadly, they are putting down one of their 30+ year old horses. They asked me if I would place in grave. Someone with an excavator is doing the digging prior, but can't stay around to lower horse. I'm...

I have a stream that runs through, and I cross frequently. It currently has a 12" plastic culvert, which is crushed just past where my wheel goes. I've been looking for used 18" or whatever, and nothing around. I was thinking about 3 -55 gal steel drums. I guessed that they would last at least 5...

On my New Holland TC29D at normal operating temps, fluid filled, there is a squawking noise, much like the squawking noise when cold, that happens when the bucket is curled all the way up at it max. or when it is curled down to max. (edit, I don't normally raise or lower bucket to max. but tried...

I'm looking to make my NH TC29D HST more stable on sloped land. I would just be brush hogging twice a year or so, currently an old 10 acre hay field, but mowing parts of it to use as walking paths. I currently have a FEL on, wheel weights and while "cruising" a piece of property I'm looking to...

Does anyone have a sevice manual for a New Holland TC29D they could share digitally? Or know of an inexpensive site to purchase? Specifically looking at replacing HST front seal???

I own a New Holland TC29D, and was running loads of soil from field to yard. As I was scooping, I stalled the engine while scooping. Now hydraulic pump makes screaching noise when limits hit. It sounds like when its very cold out and I use the FEL. (told that was normal for NH when cold) What...

I'm pretty good at finding parts, but... I have a 60" Nortrac brush hog and need replacement blades. Northern tool was 0 help. Are brush hog blades universal, other than length, width? Suggestions?

I have a NH TC29D, hydro, and tires are in need of replacement. (just put a tube in one to tide me over) Size now on rears is 15x19.5 R4's. My question is, is there any reason I should change the tire size? I cut lawn, do loader work, drag trees etc. I have no issue with what I have on now, but...

What are you using on tractor or vehicle to prevent rust, inhibit rust, neutralize rust? How are you applying it? On trucks, Ive seen oil baths sprayed on with either wax, silicone or some other magical ingredient that makes it stick. Also looks butt ugly, although main concern is stopping rust...

Just though in these times we could use a thread on oil sales happening. I'm looking for full synthetic 5w40 deisel oil, NAPA has Mobil 1 on sale for $6.49 per quart, but none available... So, if anyone finds a sale on engine oil or hydro oils, please post for all. It takes a village to help...

I've been making topsoil for years, mostly grass clippings and shredded leaves, and tilling 3x a year. If it's too moist, I would mix in sandy soil. Always worked great. Fast forward to new home. Neighbor has horses, and has an area where he has dumped manure. At least 6 years old. Mix of...

I have a New Holland TC29D that I've been putting through the paces lately. Today, while I was trying to put the MMM on, I tried to lift front wheels off ground using bucket. It couldn't get the wheels off the ground, and I still had plenty of piston left. I was at 2500 rpm. By going though...

I have a New Holland TC29D. My loader has the level indicator tube, but nothing attached to bucket. Does anyone have a similar model that can post a picture of setup? Thanks...

While changing my engine oil and filter today, I saw what looked like a push in plug on the transission. It looked like cork, but was hard. Since changing the fluid and filter was next on my list, I wanted to be prepared. It's pretty obvious I need to remove the "cork" and install something a...

Does it make sense to attach a winch to a tractor to help act as a logger? I see HF has a 12k winch on sale and was thinking... I don't have many logs to move, dozen or so, but they are on a slope I don't care to drive my tractor down. It is steep.

We bought property in NEK Vermont and built our retirement home. It has a lot of history to it, I'm always finding old stuff. While moving a pile of metal roofing, I found these. While I don't have a use for it I'll keep around in case some one does. Any ideas on what it fits? Given directions...

I'm in need of a water pump for tc29D. Prices are ranging from $95 to $141. There was a $365, but I don't count that crook business... Some other tractors are more like $40. which seems about right for a water pump. I've been to messicks, and all vendors google search I could find online, but...

I bought a Yanmar filter kit for my SA324. Up graded before I could use. I paid $85+ for it. Willing to entertain offers/trades. I own a NH TC29D, I live in NEK Vermont. Tried to post picture, didn't work out. Wix 5199 Baldwin B1400 Baldwin PF981 Donaldson P821575

Is there a way to test if glow plugs working? On cold mornings, 20s, sometimes warmer, tractor has trouble starting. The glow plug light only goes on when cranking. I set throttle to where I believe 1500 rpm will be. Cranks good, but puffs black smoke and won't start. I tried putting in gear and...

I've done lots of reading. Still unsure. Looking for a top link for brush hog, ballast box. I measured with side bars level, top link pin to centerline of side link level. I measured 27 inches. Do I need a top link that the middle of travel is 27 inches? New Holland TC29D
