I have a 2006 New Holland farm tractor and changed the antifreeze today. Owners manual says only to use distilled water/antifreeze mix. I always use distilled water/antifreeze mix but for some reason today I forgot and used regular tap water even though I had 2 gallons of distilled water on the...

The PTO lever on my TC45A when engaged (on) creeps forward. How do I tighten up the lever so it stays in place? I have enclosed a photo. My remedy right now is to place a small clamp on the bracket while using it to keep the lever in the rearward position. Thanks

Went to see a friend today and was looking at his 2001 TC33D he bought new. Still has the original battery. Always in a temperature controlled garage so the extreme cold startups that wreck havoc on batteries is not a factor plus he takes really good care of it always makes sure the water is at...

The guy who owns my uncles old 68 4000 wants to sell it now. He did mention the hrydraulic lift is sluggish and the SOS while it works is very slow. He said this happened after he changed the filter and he is thinking a piece of dirt of gasket material got caught somewhere. An idea on repair...

My bought new brush hog has been used for 5 years now and the cut does not seem as crisp as when new or what I remember whan it was new. Have been BH approx 9 acres every several weeks spring summer and early fall. Can these blades be sharpened or just replaced? If I recall they were not real...

Well my area is starting to be drilled for gas wells and all the brokers and gas co's are sending out lease arrangments. So far anything from $2000 to $3500 per acre plus royalties. We do plan on having a lawyer go through the doc's before we sign. Our big concern is losing our well water-we...

I was going through my tractor paperwork the other day and my dealer forged my name on the sheet where he is supposed to go over the tractor features with you and he and you are supposed to sign it when having goneover the checklist and a copy goes to the manufacturer and you get a copy. My...

We have all seen the iconic 1948 film, "Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House" with Cary Grant and Myrna Loy. For those of you who have not it is the story of a New York ad agency writer who lives in a cramped NY apartment with his wife and kids and dreams of living out in the country so he ends...

My neighbor cuts this going up and down. Steeper than the 2d photo shows. I live in Appalacian hill country and I have seen guys mow and BALE hills steeper than this. I'm not making this up. One guy bales round bales and they all roll down to the bottom of the hill as they come out of the...

Just changed my hydraulic oil and filter. Do I prefill the new filter?? if so 1/2 full or 3/4??? I thought I heard at one time prefilling them full can cause them to burst??? Thanks

Down in the hollars of W.Va. Pretty neat. Neat old Ford Tractors porcelin sign. Would have liked to go through it but didn't want to get shot. The still in use general store near it was neat also. Looked like right out of the Waltons.

My 6 year old tc45a only has 175 hrs. Stored inside all year in temperature controlled environment. Should the "300 hour" hydraulic fluid be changed due to age and not hours-possible water/acid in oil build up or sludge be a concern? Waste of money or needed?

How did this baler burn up-in your opinion? I see these burnt balers on ebay on a regular basis. Is it vandalism? Or something get hot while operating and it goes up?? 2002 New Holland 688 5x6 Round Baler - Insurance Sale | eBay

2006 New Holland 72" Mower/broom/snow blower, 275 hrs | eBay Have never seen one of these before.

Bought this nifty new seat cover for $19 from Amazon. Fits very good. After a few days out working on it the wrinkles will go away. I'm wanting to keep my original seat looking good as long as possible. Thanks Jinman for the link to this cover. I bought a Mr Funnel at the same time and...

Need a new or mint used 6.40 -15 Goodyear ribbed implement tire. New or mint used. Check you local old tire stores. I will pay a finders fee. Tire must have the "diamonds" on the sidewall. Thanks

What is unstyled versus styled JD tractors? Have always heard this but never knew what it meant. Thanks

Kadie's Journal - 'Tractorcade' in Wisconsin - lots of pics. OK it's a lefty site but neat tractor pics non the less. I'm waiting for farmers to drive their tractors to the Capital building in Washington as they did in the late 70's. I would love to do that, I've got my bedroll and supplies...

The front end vibration on my TC45A has been getting worse recently . Always noticed it more on the road in either 2wd or 4 wd but now starting to notice it in the field. The hood and steering wheel is starting to shake. Feels like the front end is "grabbing" more on the left hand side but...

What should the throttle rpm be set at when starting our tractors when it is cold outside i.e. 10-20 degrees and what should it be set at in the summertime? Saw a previous thread here by very knowledegble/experienced posters that the tractors should be started at a fairly high rpm and kept...

I have spent over 20 years trying to locate my uncles old 1968 Ford 4000 which I had spent many summers on back in the 1970's. Found it this past summer in another state through a fluke and told the current owner I would like to buy it if he wished to sell it. Maybe one day he will sell it...

I saw a pic on this site of a set of pliars that are made to take off the fuel filter ring. The inside of the pliars were shaped just like the ring. Does anyone know where I can find these pliars? I do not really want to use channel locks.

I keep my tractor in the basment of my house all year long. It's basically at a constant year long temperature, AC in the summer and heated in the winter. Some where I read that when you take a tractor from a heated garage to the outside, say in 20-40 degrees range and then bring the tractor...

I want to change the oil today on my TC45A and I put a 11/16 socket on the drain plug(s) but it seemed a little loose. Are these drain plugs metric? Can somone tell me the metric size if they are metric? Thanks

On another thread the answers were across the board from "I grease every time I use the tractor" to "too much greasing will shorten the componet life" My owners manual says to grease the tractor every 50 hours but I have been doing it every 25 hours. How often are your greasing your tractor...

Hello I have a 2006 NH TC45A tractor-parent bore engine. I just changed the antifreeze with low silicate permanent type antifreeze (along with distilled water)per the owners manual and I want to add the FW-15 NH conditioner. It says to use a 5% ratio of conditioner to total amount of coolant...

Plowed the garden several weeks back. I have an old Dearborn 10-8 12" 2 bottom plow and many told me this plow would not work well with this tractor but it did just fine. After experimenting with different plow angles the first row or two, the furrows came out great. Every so often a dirt...

Just received a extended warranty offer from NH. $605 for 5 years or 5000 hours. No deductible. I have a 2006 TC45A. I have never been that much into extended warranties but this one seemed pretty decent. Covered pretty much everything except normal wear items(bulbs, tires belts, battery etc)...

I just noticed a hairline crack on my 2006 TC45A drivers side rear fender with 70 hours. Maybe 1/2-3/4" long-by the ROPS bracket. The crack is probably not much thicker than a human hair but you can feel it with your fingernail. I'm always careful getting on and off the tractor. I've noticed...

I have a TC45A. On page 3-27 of the owners manual it says front & rear wheel torque is 95 foot lbs. The specification page it says the front & rear wheel torque is 125 foot lbs. Which one is correct? Thanks

New Holland TC45A ser # Z6db01731. I presume the 6 after the Z stnads for the year? I was told it was a 2006 but there is nothing on my invoice reagrding date. Just curious. Thanks

What is the brand/type of antifreeze I should be running in my diesel tc45A? "Soundguy" on another thread recommends the anti-cavitation additive CNH has to offer, fw-15. I don't think my tractor uses sleeves in the engine-do i still need to use this additive? Some people are using the TSC...

I have a 2006 TC45A and it say's to run the pto at 540 rpm. Also in my Brush Hog owners manual it says to set the rpm at 540. I rarely ever run my pto speed at 540, more like 300-350 and the 7' brush hog seems to cut the field just fine. Occasionaly I will throttle up to a higher speed in...

Does NH or an aftermarket company make a tractor cover for my TC45A? Right now I cover it will blankets but they occasionally fall off if the barn doors are open with strong winds. I would like something form fitting like a car cover but may have to settle with sewing the blankets together...

I have a 2006 model TC 45 with 45 hours. I've had it a little over one year. Tractor starting smoking heavily out of the blue the other day. Air filter is not plugged and fuel filter appears fine. The dealer asked if I was using off road diesal. I replied I was using the diesal from BP at the...

I have a tc45 and want to put in a block heater. What us the best way to remove the freeze plug. I'm concerned about damaging the block or having the freeze plug fall down inside the block. I was going to use a screwdriver to tap one corner in and the corner that pops out to grap it with vice...

Hello Just purchased a new TC45A. In the owners manual it says you must preheat the glow plugs but one paragraph down it say you do not have to preheat. I figure you would need to preheat in the wintertime but what about the summertime? My tractor starts fine in warm weather without...
