If in your cleanup, the tank develops some small holes where it rusts through, I can give a great recommendation to a product I have used on my Willys Jeep gas tanks. It's epoxy gas tank sealer strips by Zoro. Normally, I'm skeptical of these "quick fix" items . . .even more so when it said...

OK thank you

Sorry; forgot to add my question. The metal plate above the hoe control says "up" or "down" for the outriggers. The way I bought it, "down" meant the strut would go down so the machine would go up. In the rebuild, I followed the manual where it's opposite. Now, "down" lifts the strut so the...

Rebuilt hoe and outriggers; replaced worn pins; repair & weld broken stuff. Fixed the leaks in hoses etc. Probably my imagination but it seems to work better. Other sections wait for another year.

I have used 1/8" wire from Hercules steel with good success.

Getting ready to replace the old switch in my T5 (2000). I purchased some parts from Terry's Terramite but couldn't find my particular questions on past posts. I'll number my questions so if you reply that will help keep things straight. Picture that came with new switch attached. 1. What...

Getting an education here . . . found the brake cleaner on ebay and ordered it; sorry for the dumb question . . . . clearly not the same as brake fluid.

Many thanks for those replies. What I learned . . . tapes; teflon or otherwise are out on hydraulics. Fortunately haven't used that to date. Also ordered a 50 ml. of Loctite 545 and will use that. The fittings that are leaking are where the hydraulic hose from the control connects to the...

Several fittings on my T5C are always wet with fluid; not big leaks . . . just weepy. The hoses and fittings were replaced, and I have put as much wrench on them as I thought they would stand. Am I supposed to be using teflon tape or some special compound on these things? Is dressing the...

Some time ago, a member of this forum sent a 3 word piece of advice for my T5C question about tire chains "Get the chains." So I did and he was right, so my thanks for good advice. Lots of snow this year, so I put them on front and rear, and they're doing the job. I'd like to leave them on...

Last year, one of the members - believe it was old grind - posted an interesting bit of info "Understand that a great many T-M parts are off the shelf items. Powertrain components are in this category....." I own an older T5C with a new Kohler Command engine and a recently rebuilt Dana44 rear...

Hi All; After reading through a recent post on the difficulties some had getting in touch with the company, I'm wondering if one of these days they might really be out of business, and leave us high and dry. That raises a question. Is there a list anywhere of parts for one of these machines...

Is there a preferred placement for welding grab hooks on the top of the loader bucket? I have a small Terremite (T5C) and have purchased hooks but don't want to weld them in place if there is a "best location" i.e., closeness to the edge of the bucket and distance front to back of the top...

Here's a scan of the electrical page from the manual. I see the "M" on the switch

Maybe this will help. I scanned the page from the manual. Hoses go from cylinders directly into into the fittings - lower right corner almost shows one
