My treadle pedal and starting interlock have been fine for several years. All of a sudden it won't start unless I position the pedal by hand so the tractor goes slowly in reverse. The pedal also is much harder to move and won' t return to neutral. Does anyone know where the switch is and how...

Wife has been wanting about a 10" crab tree surrounded by a viney mess removed for years. Though of sawing it but then decided to see what MX & Grapple could do. I don't think its too bad for bad for 45 minutes work Andy

I was finally able to create a Kubota credit online account. On my Zero Interest loan, the payoff amount is $20,495.45 whereas the current balance is $23,665.67 This represents that the payoff is $3,170.22 less than the account balance? See attached This may be an interesting way to get a...

Tried out new Landpride Brushog Managed to wedge a stump I ripped out tightly in undercarriage and linkage of MX5200. Needed chainsaw to cut out

I tried to connect up my Valby CH160 wood chipper to my MX5200 rear remotes and the Valby (and all my other equipment) is 1/2 inch. I looked at Messick online and ordered some. However I got inpatient and went to a local Kubota dealer and picked up the same male couplers. Unfortunately they...

Working on trading in my New Holland TN75D with a Woods 1050 Backhoe for a Kubota MX5200 with BH92 Backhoe. Since I'm not at my farm much anymore, my wife says the 75 horse cab tractor is too big for 3 acres. Hope she thinks the MX5200 is a lot smaller! Andy

After years of faithful service the PTO lever on my TN75D stuck in the on position. Any ideas of where to lubricate to help or if the clutch in the transmission is the problem. Also since I have to move the tractor to get it to the dealer. how do I bypass the PTO safety switch so it will start...

Here in Connecticut where last year we we well on our way to 7 feet of unmelted snow last year we finally got about 6 inches this morning. In a few minutes I'll get to try my new Deere X748SE with the 54inch blower. Can't wait, I'll keep you posted. Andy

Hi Guys Just picked up a small for me tractor X748 SE to mow the lawn and blow some snow (set a new record of over 7 unmelted feet in January of last year). Had to use 75 hp TN with bucket to clean 300 foot 25 foot wide drive and ended up with 14 foot high piles. Was unable to use 8 foot...

The skid steer bucket attach/detach system on my TN75D has developed a problem. The bucket is off and one of the levers and the "pin" that drops through the bottom plate of the "bucket plate" works fine. One the other side the pin is frozen. With the bucket off it appears to have "hammer...

Ws using the TN today and noticed a puddle of oil under it when I moved it. It appears that it i scoming from the PTO area. I can not see well because I need to drop the PTO back hoe to see better. Does anybody know how much of a deal it is to replace the seal on the PTO? Andy

I'm trying to replace the front oil seal on a Kohler K321S 14HP horizontal engine. Does anyone know how much of the engine I need to disassemble and whether the seal goes in from the outside or the inside? I haven't taken anything apart yet although I did buy a full gasket and seal set. Also...

Thanks guys for you assistance in finding the source of no heat in my TN75D. Before winter I had checked and filled the radiator so I never thought of that. I checked all the cables, etc that were suggested and all seemed well. On a whim, I removed the radiator cap. Nothing to be seen!! I...

15 degrees out. Thermometer doesn't work thank to squirrel damage to wiring that I thought I fixed but obviously didn't. Plowed snow today and yesterday in 14 to 27 degree weather and never got even warm air from the heater. Any body have any ideas on where to start looking? It's almost like...

Amid all the tales of battery problems I just thought I'd post how batteries have held up for me in my 2120. I've had the battery replaced once by the dealer with another oem New Holland battery about 10 years ago. The tractor has been outside it's extire life, never had a block heater, never...

For a while now I've had trouble with the bucket curl on my 32LA loader.

I have a Ford Jubilee that I bought last year for 2600.00 with a Brush Hog. I deployed to Iraq and just recently returned. When I went to start up my tractor, I noticed the freeze plugs had popped out the sides. I am guessing when it got real cold here in MO the water froze. I never checked the...

I've been trying to get a repair and parts manual for my TN75D, but all they seem to do is go up in price. I find $800 extremely high for the pair. They just seem to be getting higher and higher all the time. Any ideas. I keep my eyes on eBay but so far no luck. Andy

Just made the last of 60 payments on my TN75D. Sure feels good to own it free and clear. Andy

I mentioned this in DocBob's thread regarding his TN battery. My TN75D came with a battery tray and a couple of rods in a grain sack. When I asked the dealer about it he told me that they were supplied in case I wanted to use a 'conventional" battery. Did anybody else get these parts? Andy

With all the discussion about service manuals, I wondered if anybody knew where you could get a service manual and a parts manual for a TN75D. New Holland want about $500 for the pair and it's a little (lot) rich for my blood. Andy

With all the discussion regarding the speed to operate a bush hog at, I became curious as to where the 540 RPM number came from. An internet search revealed the following: It seems the original standard was 536 which was later changed to 540 +/- 10. See this reference...

I've been on the new site from 2 different computers, both connected through cable modems. In each case the site is so slow as to be virtually unusable. when I click on a post it takes between 30-45 seconds to open. It used to be only a second or 2. Is it me or is the new site this slow? Andy

Rainy New England- why I\'ll never get a non 4WD This afternoon I was moving a small light load in the loader of my Ford 2120 on my farm in 2WD. Hit a small patch of mud and no go. Switched to 4WD and drove right out. On my farm a 2WD tractor is close to useless unless it has been dry for a...

Last week, I ran my TN for several hours and it ran perfectly. Next morning I tried to start it and it cranked over perfectly but no go. Thniking I may have run out of fuel I refueled and bled the fuel system (pain in you know what to reach with loader and ac lines in way). Still no go. Dealer...

Just picked up my latest tractor today and hope someday it will work. It was in a building being demoed and I rescued it. Price was right Andy

Rowski, Where\'s the TN? Hi Derek How's the TN coming? Bet your getting anxious. Keep us posted. BTW I looked at boom mowers and one for the 2120 was about $11k and one for the TN was closer to $20k. I've always wanted one but a little rich for my blood. Andy

I spent the majority of today cleaning an old roadway sandwiched between 2 old stone walls of brush. Much of it was pretty nasty, roses, brush with 1 1/2 inch thorns, poison ivy and small trees. I did manage to get torn up some as I had to get out occasionally to clip or chain saw some of the...

My TN\'s got a splitting headache My fairly new TN75D "Beast" had been dripping a little oil from about the center of the tractor for a few months now. I looked several times and wiped of the machine without any luck in finding the leak. The dealer told me to bring it in when I got a chance...

A while back there was a post regarding a mystery button of the TN loader control joystick. I looked at mine and did't think I had one. Now I'm not so sure. Further playing revealed a ring that slides up and down and appears to click into position in both the up and down position. Is this what...

Today I was out enjoying the 65 degree weather and decided to play with my TN. As I was driving back the 10 miles from my farm to the shop, I got a little warm and turned on the ac. then I got to thinking, how much power was the ac using. So as I was pretty bored, I did a few fairly...

Fellow TN owners. Did you or do you plan to wait 1200 hours to change the hydraulic lift and transmission fluid in your TN as the manual specifies? The manual does specify changing the filter at 50 hours and then every 300 hours. Just wondering what others are doing. Andy

How many TN\'s ? It seems to me that there are a fair number of new TN owners on the board. Maybe if each of us could take a minute or two to list our model, and perhaps tire sizes, trans or whatever the rest would find it useful. I'd also find it useful to find out what attachments we are...

Just thought I'd post a few pictures of our Farmi 501 winch in action. It is mounted on a Ford / NH 2120. We are only pulling one or 2 large oaks at a time since my son Jim was doing the pulling. Normally I would be pulling 6-8 of the tree size shown. The Farmi winch pulls at over 11,000 #...

After reading a bunch of posts lately about cab heat or lack there of, I got to wondering about the cab heat in my TN75D. It had always seemed warm, but I never really tested it. The other day when I was plowing I turned the temp and blower controls all the way up and just let the tractor sit...
