This is information I always have to hunt down when changing my mower belt. I'm putting it here to share with others and to be able to look it up WHEN I lose my copy. Jim

Hi Guys - It has been quite awhile since I've been here, mostly because the tractor has been running well. Well, as of this morning, he's not running at all. I'll try to provide a sequence of what has gone on and would certainly appreciate any guidance you all might have. One kink in the...

Hi: Anyone know what type of paint is on the TC25D through 33D series? Gel Coat? Enamel? I'd like to clean up my 25D and want to get the right detailing polish and sealant. Thanks! Jim

Having read these threads in some depth, I decided to switch to synthetic at today's oil change. The product purchased was Amsoil 15-40 HD Deisel Marine oil. Before draining the existing oil, a pint of Amsoil engine cleaner went in and ran for about 20 minutes. The tractor just hit 250 hours...

Hi: I have a NH TC25D that cuts most of my place, but there are some sizable parts that have slopes that make me nervous when cutting with that tractor. There is a dealer going out of business - offering a Gravely Home ZT1944 for $2600. This looks to be about $1000 less than the going price...

The TC25D got down to a quarter tank before I put it away last time. Between then and this last weekend, the temperature got down to the high teens and low twenties. This last weekend, I put five gallons of fresh deisel (winterized) in there and was surprised to see that the fuel gauge did not...

Hi All: I haven't posted in a while, we're in the middle of putting up our new house. My local dealer, from whom I did *not* buy my tractor, has come through for me in a big way on the battery corrosion problem. He picked up the tractor in October, went to bat for me with New Holland on the...

Does anyone who has had radiators, battery trays, fittings, etc. replaced as a result of <font color="blue"> NH Boomer </font> Batteries developing cottage cheese know if there is a service bulletin out addressing this? If not, how did you handle it with your dealer? Tractor still under...

Thor (NH 25D) has been hibernating all winter under nothing more than a blue tarp. It has been a dry but cold winter. It was near 70 today, so I took the tarp off and took a shot at starting him up. Key in, glow plugs on (good sign,) cranked him over *once* and he started up as is I had just put...

Well, I went out to the property today to do some last minute marking and to reconcile those markings with the stake out that the septic guy did last week. All of this in preparation for ground breaking in the spring. What I saw when I got there first broke my heart, and then made me very, very...

Well, I mowed the neighbors yard for him, and the same swaths of brown grass that I get on my property also appeared on his. I had assumed that the brown tire marks on my side were from the 4wd pulling the grass as the tractor held its own going down steep hills and being agressive going up the...

The new rake has done a phenomenal job so far of cleaning up the debris from last year's lot clearing. I knew there were a lot of pieces of branches, trunks, etc. laying low in the grass, but I had no earthly idea how many there were until the rake started gobbling them up in 5' rolls. Here's...

This story has a happy beginning, middle, and end. If you're expecting a downside, there is none! Last Sunday night, I surfed over to Carver's site to look at sprayers. I noticed his ad for th Land Pride implement blowout and took a look. Two items immediately grabbed my attention; the 60"...

Well, after reading Mike's thread on grease guns, and being overdue at 40 hours to grease Thor (he got lubed at 25 when he went in for warranty work though) I went out to buy a grease gun. I found a nice lincoln pistol-grip at Auto Zone, but the flex hose was missing from the box. Caught that at...

Anybody know this one right off hand? Thanks, Jim
