I’m going through the same thing on my TZ18DA. I found oil coming out and there is a crack on the top right of the case. If you read the comments on the YouTube video, it ended up leaking again.

Well, welding it and it still being adjustable isn’t going to work. My son was using it while I was at work so I didn’t get a good look at it until now. It didn’t break at my weld at the clevis, it broke further up in the threaded area. Welding skills 1, threaded area 0. Is the quick hitch...

Thanks for the idea. My weld lasted over five years so it didn’t do bad. I couldn’t believe when I looked up a new one on Messicks, over $500. It was over $100 just for the section that broke.

I have had my leveling arm break twice now where the threaded rod attaches to the clevis at the arm. I welded it up and it lasted for years, but has broken again. Does anyone know of a leveling arm with the crank handle that will fit in place of my arm? I have not found one looking online. None...

By lost some power do you mean the rpm dropped? Was your throttle still opened all the way? I had a problem on my TZ18 where while mowing, the throttle lever would back off. I had to adjust the cable and cable routing to stop it from doing this. If that is not it, change both fuel filters, and...

I bought some New Holland paint from the dealer, and it just says to use CHN thinner. Does anyone know if you just use lacquer thinner, or is it something else?

I was changing the front axle oil today, and I wonder what is the best way to get all of the oil out. It has a drain plug on each side, so I pulled a plug at a time and tilted the axle in that direction. The book calls for 2 quarts to fill it, but it didn稚 seem to take anywhere near two quarts...

On my TZ18DA I have to adjust the adjustable lift arm a good bit when I change back and forth between my mower and my box scraper to get it to lift level. Is this normal? Neither the mower or box blade looks bent in any way, but there is a big weight difference.

Does the Gemplers Quick Fill Tire Attachment fit a standard valve stem? Quick Fill Tractor Tire Attachment, Tires & Supplies - GEMPLER'S I read where someone had to take part of their valve stem apart to use it. I know the shrader valve has to come out, but that is all that comes apart on mine...

I purchased a used RDTH60 in February, and until last week all was well. Then one of the plastic idler pulleys started screaming. It doe not turn smoothly by hand and wobbles. So I was able to finish mowing, and when I got off the tractor at one point, I noticed one of the wheels on the mower...

How does the re-enforcement plate mount? From what I have read, one said it goes on top of the fender, and another says it goes under the fender, and replaces the two bars that are under it. Which way is it?

TZ18DA If I leave the lever that controls the 3pt in the upper position you can tell it puts a load on the tractor when the 3pt is all the way up. Is this normal, or should the 3pt quit trying to lift when it is all the way up? If I put the control lever for the 3pt in the middle position...

I have read that there is a recall because of the fender cracking where the seat mounts. Mine has not done this yet, but I want to fix it before it does. I have called the dealer and they can get me the new bracket for $54.00. My tractor has 60hrs, but is not under warranty anymore. Is there...

I found the info plate on it, but I have not been able to find out what year it was produced.

I need aid in taking it off and putting it back on. How is it supposed to be positioned and such? I popped the hoses off but did not end up getting the loader off. Then when I put the hoses back on, I had a heck of a time getting the two middle hoses back on. They had pressure on them. I do not...
