    Brother n' law says off road diesel is bad

    He says that off road diesel is bad because it plugs injectors and is not as efficient and that sort of thing. Says it doesnt burn as good because the die doesnt burn and ends up plugging things up and that sort of thing. Ive been running it but want to know if i should or not? mike

    tc33d drive shaft u-joint catches grass

    well is there any tc33d owners that have the problem where grass wraps around the drive shaft? The front u-joint seems to be covered by a boot that holds grease and the back one sits dry as a bone and exposed. i have no idea why they designed it like that. maybe mine is missing something but...

    Oil & Fuel  tc33d and tc55d oil filters the same?

    Are they the same? the NH dealer said they were and that most all the cut take the same filter. It looks pretty small for a 55HP machine. there are no numbers on the factory one. mike

    looking for big bucket for my TC55D. Aftermarket?

    I want a bigger bucket to use for certain things like shavings and snow and multiple other thing but i guess they are over a grand plus shipping through NH. Any ideas on a good aftermarket one or anything? I need the Quick attach setup and want about 7 feet wide and about a yard bucket. Mike

    TC55DA sounds like over-rev!

    I was mowing hay today and noticed that she sounds like she is going to take off into space. 2500 is the 540pto speed and I cut at 2100-2200 and any more then that and she sounds like its over-reving the engine. Any other TC55D owners feel that way? Either my tach is off or its just me but...

    TN 1 yard bucket on a tc55D? thoughts?

    I dont like my bucket that comes with my TC55DA. It is a half-yard bucket and too small for anything but doing dirt/gravel work. It is good for that but most of the time I use my bucket for shavings, manure, leaves, hay, snow etc... Now my old tractor has a one yard bucket that i use all...

    Traction  Has anyone with TC55 turned there rims around for wider traction?

    The distance between the 2 rear tires is so small that i definatly need to change the rims around and widen it out. I am going to hay with it and need to at least straddle a windrow and it must be only like 3 feet between the wheels. I am going at least 4 inches wider maybe 8. I have yet to...

    Bolt on cutting edge needed for strength?

    I was just wondering if anyone has a 6 foot bucket for NH without a bolt on edge and if its holding up alright. I have a bolt on edge on my TC33D but dont like it really. Cant back drag as good in gravel. The other side of the edge catches rocks and doesnt do as good a job. I chose not to...
