They sold tons of these TC series machines with the japanese engine. And I bet there are still tons running around every day. My machine has 3100hrs with no major issues and I didnt even know about this until a few weeks ago.

Theres a saying that goes for a $20 tree you want to dig a $40 hole. This means the better the hole you put the tree in the more likely it is to survive. For 9in pots I would be tempted to use a 12in auger and dig way deeper than needed. Then widen the hole with a shovel and put the spoils in...

I dont believe that crack would cause a blown head gasket or to get coolant in the combustion chamber. Depending on the price of a head I would be real tempted to weld that crack and lap the those two valves. However if the machine is low hours, in good shape and you want to keep ot for many...

Everyone that's willing to learn or do things them self is in over there head at some point. It's how you get out of it. If your going to smack every project with your check book you will never learn anything. OP AC in this and vehicles arnt very hard to work on. We just need a few key...

Is the compressor turning?

For yours..if that jack is welded on I would recess the 2in reciever through the front lower bar. Weld it to the lower bar and the jack. I would still put a brace on the bottom of the reciever. Minimal material needed and prob the strongest your going to get on that trailer.

Never needed to located the compressor relay for a completely drained system. Did it drain out by its self? If so just add refridgerant until it kicks on. If you opened the system you should pull a vacuum or the system wont work properly.

A flail mower does alot better job than a rotory cutter on grass. Where they dont and a rotory shines is woody thicker material. I think you just have the wrong mower.

Why do you need to dig the stump out? Would grinding it be good enough? I was clearing a site for a small cabin with my 3,500lb mini ex and after the immediate cabin foundation site was cleared of stumps I decided to not dig any more up. Digging stumps is hard on machines and can actualy be...

Did you clean the battery terminals?

I would start with cleaning the battery terminals. Then disconnect the signal wire like stated above. My tc40 died on me climbing a pile of dirt a few weeks ago. Stone dead, nothing for power. Turns out the battery terminals where just dirty. Parked undercover also. Cleanes the terminals...

Good catch. I suprised the shaft even went together 90* off. Typicaly these are 3 spline with 1 being different.

Geez it's not like there a days drive appart and you dont even know the scope of the work.

Could your lift pump be getting weak?

Look up the starter relay mod.
