These mowers can be had in up to a 144-inch width - with a 12.5 mph ground speed, you cover lots of turf in a short period of time, and time is money. Definitely not for your average weekend lawn cutting crowd - compare and contrast to cost of a new pickup truck and it doesn't seem so outrageous.
You can check simpletire.com (I got a military discount) nothing wrong with BKT tires and had no problems re my order - I put R4 loaders on the front of a TC25D and been happy. Agree with others that you should check locally to see if a large truck tire dealer can't beat their pricing. Local...
Hey - thanks for taking time to share your experience. Battery cables are still on my list to fully check. My tractor is 1999/2000 vintage and since I haven't looked at them in such a long time, I was surprised that see on a couple of tube videos that so much computerization seems to be used...
Found bad solder joint on original ignition switch and re-soldered it. Hoped it would save me $95, but no such luck. Guess the intermittent connection had caused damage to internal contact(s). Even with new switch, I'm still working the problem by going through each of the various safety...
Thanks so very much for all your help. Swapped battery with known good, and nothing. Using details you so kindly shared, pulled the cowlings to get access to the relays. Started DMM testing with ignition switch and confirmed it is bad. Will get replacement switch along with new battery, and...
Thank you Sir! I will absolutely give this a try. With load tester device attached, current battery will hold at just over 10 amps. Others have pointed out this is probably not enough for proper start function, but your test suggestion will help confirm that the solenoid bendix spins...
Thank you for this solid advice. Consensus seems to agree with your comments - will have to obtain known good battery, and additional pair of eyes and hands and resume testing with battery cables treated as suspect until proven otherwise. You folks are a great help - I'm in awe of the...
Stored inside much of its' life, but has been outside under a tarp for a few years now. Just outside Memphis, so humidity could well be a factor. I hope to continue testing with everyone's great suggestions - gonna try and find another set of eyes and hands to help keep me honest (and able to...
Wife got a new car a few months ago - If cable swaps suggested by dlctctg don't help. I will follow your suggestion next and report back. Thanks for sharing the benefit of your "been there couldn't believe what happened!" experience - would not have thought of this otherwise.
I'm an old guy and about give out after a day of fussin' with it. Excellent suggestions as these are definitely the OEM battery cables devilishly appearing to be good from the outside - just the kind of place gremlins love to lurk. I will try and round up a set of helping hands and continue...
TC-25D Won't Crank - I Need Some Help Please
New Holland Yr 2000 Model TC25D with HST. Have had a couple of intermittent failures to crank (before I last replaced battery) which seemingly healed themselves. Solenoid now silent with no start when key fully turned to the right.
Slow charged 18...
