Yes, I would like to check higher up. It's difficult to access that area however. Looks like the easiest way might be to remove one of the rear tires and reach in from the side? Besides any fittings or other "fluid holding" items, are there housing bolts on the top side, similar to the ones I...

I've never see it actively "drip" and the hydraulic fluid reservoir dipstick shows full. It's more of a seepage. I suspect that it might only be seeping during operation, and that it doesn't actively seep when the tractor is off/parked.

I'm not familiar with how banjo bolt connectors work - just read about them however. Pretty neat. Could I try tightening that, or is there a torque limit or risk of damage that I would need to be cautious about?

I noticed some seepage on the underside of my TC33DA. Photo attached. The top left bolt shown in the photo was slightly loose, and I tightened it by about 1/8 of a turn. The other bolts (at least the ones that I can see and get to) are all tight. Tightening this bolt reduced, but did not...

On the underside of my TC33DA, there's what looks like a cotter pin sticking out. Photo attached. What is it's purpose?

I'm considering this UTV (or, depending on your opinion, glorified golf cart). For $13,999, it looks pretty decent however. https://www.kandiamerica.com/product/cowboy-e10k/ Apparently these are sold through Lowes stores. This particular model is not shown on the Lowes website however. My...

Interesting, thank you.

Land Pride RCR 1860 rotary cutter. Why is there a small hex socket INSIDE the larger hex socket on the gear box oil drain plug?

Yes

My TC33DA hour meter has stopped working. Everything else in the instrument cluster works, including the tachometer. I've read some other posts here where both the tachometer AND the hour meter have failed, caused by alternator AC voltage, electrical connection, or other issues, but that is...

The owners manual for my TC33DA recommends checking and adjusting the fuel injectors and valve clearance at 600 hours. Are these involved procedures? About how many hours of labor should a dealer charge me to perform these maintenance services?

The hydraulic press was able to straighten my arms. No heat was used. I repainted them and will re-install once the paint is dry - just in time for the next snowfall forecast for Thursday. For those who asked how I bent them, I was snow blowing, and hit a buried stump. Amazingly, the snow...

Thanks for all the replies, and confirming that there's not supposed to be any bend in the arms (except at the very ends). Next week, I plan to take my arms to a place with a hydraulic press, and see what can be done.

OK, thanks. Then I must have slightly bent the other lift arm as well :(.

I hit a stump and bent the left side 3 point hitch arm on my TC33DA :(. Photos attached. I seem to recall that it originally had a slight bend in it, but perhaps not? The right arm does have a slight bend. I'm looking for either photos or a description of what is a "normal" bend, if any...
