    Bad news on my TC33D

    Sorry to hear about your tractor. My $0.02 would be to fix what you have and run it for a while, then when stupid prices settle a bit, sell it and upgrade. Or, if you use the hoe a lot, take it off and sell it and then buy a mini excavator. That's what I ended up doing.

    Talk to me about owning a Dump Truck

    Dude, that little pickup flat bed is NICE! A good flat bed / stake truck is a perfect thing to have. I have two! Use them all the time, well, the F450 needs battery cables at the moment, but they are good to have. You're correct about trying to find a 4x4 Fuso, VERY rare and hard to find. I...

    TC34DA HST Pedal Return Issues (slow)

    Anybody else out there have issues with their HST pedal not returning fast enough? I lubbed mine, but it still seems to take a little time to return to center when I'm mowing. It was not as bad as it was before, but is there any thing else I can check to grease or lube? It also looks like some...

    Home made 16HP v-twin log splitter

    Hey guys, I've been meaning to post this and I'm still looking for the build pictures (I have them around here somewhere) but here is a video of the log splitter that my dad built this year. It is pretty much done, he is finishing up a few things and needs a little bit more paint. --- YouTube...

    TSC Carry All / added wood hauler / flat bed

    Got a good price on the TSC Carry All, it looked to be the older more heavy type. Built 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 1/4. It had a little rust on it, so I was able to get the manager lady to knock off another 10%... Anyway, I wanted to build my own Carry All, but I couldn't beat the TSC price, my steel guy...

    TC34DA Block Heater PN#?

    Anyone have / know the part number for a TC34DA block heater. Poor girl started sort of rough this morning, I think moving to synthetic oil helped a little bit and I moved it from my large open span barn to my smaller shop, still gets cold in there however, I imagine it was 10* or so... So, if...

    Digging out Barn

    Thought you guys might like to see my task... Digging out 15+ years of slop from the Barn. My wife and I bought this place last year and I am finally getting around to cleaning out my big red barn. It looks like the people that lived here before never understood what it meant to keep a barn...

Right now it's sleeping inside my ugly 1977 Ford Van, still haven't figured how I'll get it out with out killing my self...

    Tires  Keeping R4 Tires clean... err... cleaner?

    I don't know if I'm the only one or not, but after moving lots of fill dirt and other nasty barn wastes the tires (R4) on my TC34DA get pretty caked... I usually do a blast down the road to get the big chunks off, but they can still linger. Now I'm to the point where I'm so tired after working...

    TC34DA Seat Safety Switch...?

    Well... I really don't know what's going on here. My TC34DA is only 2 weeks old or so... I was doing a little loader work this evening and I noticed that when moving forward the safety beep would go on, almost like I didn't pull the parking brake when stopping the tractor. So... I look under the...

    My new blue baby TC34DA

    Well, I've had my TC34DA for a few days now and all I can say is... What an amazing machine! I will be using it for barn maintenance and yard work, snow removal and maybe even some jump building for a little motocross track :) In all seriousness though, this forum is great and I am glad that I...
