Hey folks, I need some help identifying what I need to get for tools, and some guidance on torques: I purchased a TC35A a few months ago and have done the basic maintenance due to date - grease, oil & filter change, etc. I'm planning on doing most of the maintenance myself, the hydraulic fluid...

Hey guys, I just got done playing with my new machine: a used NH TC35A with 212 hours on it. It's my first tractor and I feel like a kid at Christmas! I'd like to thank everyone here for all your help; Jinman, IH3444, Soundguy, Kozak, PoleClimber, Roy, and many others - thank you all!!! I...

Is there a website that accepts serial numbers of New Holland tractors and provides info like original date of sale, year of manufacture, etc.? Alternately, if someone has the ability to do this, I'd appreciate it if I could do it via private post. I'm close to making a purchase, hope to be...

Question for all you TBNers with experionce using your tractors in the snow (and even those of you who just want to chime in): I think I am very close to purchasing my first tractor. One of the first things I plan to do with it is keeping my 600' gravel drive passable during the winter. Note...
