I don't disagree Dart... but it's just good ole marketing, USA social networking style. Can't blame a guy for trying. I'm NOT affiliated w/ them, nor have ever used bought or used them for anything but I might as parts sources for my T7 are sometimes a bit challenging.

Hello, I have a question for you about my 2000 Terramite T5D (name change to T7), Front end loader and backhoe. My hydraulics that power the backhoe, FEL (front end loader), and stabilizers, all seem to be very weak now, regardless of engine RPMs (unit has gas engine) Any idea whats wrong? Is it...

I totally get that. I had to make a ramp out of steel or aluminum (forget which) to get my very first rebuilt piston back inand over the damaged areas of my cylinder's barrel b/c I just couldn't get it back together. That totally frustrated me to the point you probably found yourself before...

If it leaked as badly as before, then you might have damaged the two outter seals during the install process. I rebuilt my 2 FEL cylinders recently as one leaked internally, and they didn't have the power to hold the bucket in-place when back-dragging dirt. Anyway, I had to clean up the area...

Nice. Save me a spot. I don't know if I'll con't. to survive this heat!!

Since noboby bothered to help you, and I'd venture a guess you probably already moved on, but in the event you haven't, here's my suggestions; as to question #1: Rebuild your cylinder if you can get it off (it's much cheaper to buy a repacking kit for $50 than buying a new cylinder). As to...

They did but my manuals for the T7 (actually it's a 5D model) doesn't show that level of a cylinder(s) breakdown nor repair directions. Interesting. I'm getting ready to rebuild my curl cylinders if I can get them removed from the machine (step two after removing the lines right). I've never...

Do these directions, old as they may be, apply to a specific Terramite models or years these models were produced? Does anyone know where this attachment came from? Thanks!

I should clarify a "bud" as a budweiser beer, not the other kind. Man I'm getting old.

I somehow missed that. Maybe a "bud" clouded my thinking. Anywho, thanks for the reply. I lost my computer for a bit but am now "back up and running/reading. I'll call these guys and see what they say! That was a great idea, thanks again! Steve

Thanks for the links. I missread the initial reply.

Hi guys, I need some help or advice. I have a mid-sized 2000 Terramite 2 wheel drive backhoe, model T5D (Terramite then changed the name from T5D to T7 around 2000 too and that further complicates my life...). Basically my front spindles are shot. I've replaced some smaller parts that effect...

SInce Terramite was bought out and I guess closed down, does anyone have any idea where to buy replacement spindles for the 2WD front axles? And while on the topic, does anyone know how to remove that front axle pin? My axle has a lot of slop but I can't seem to budge that axle pin castle nut...

you gotta pull the wire first.

There is a release valve on the hydro transmission (Eaton/Cesna) that allows it to be toed. Gotta turn is 90 degrees or something like that. I've never had to use it. See the parts manual, pg. 2.10, item #43. Hope that helps.
