    T5C "back in service" check list

    Hello. I have a T5C that was re-powered with a Honda V-twin by the PO. It worked pretty well when last used, with the exception of a leaky seal that allows one strut to drop after retraction (locks down fine when extended). The "when last used" is my current issue, the tractor has been sitting...

    Uses for auxiliary drivie shaft

    The PO of my T5C replaced the original Kohler engine with a Honda GX series twin. He followed Terraquip's recommendations for the swap with one exception. Terraquip recommended that he remove the original Honda driveshaft (the T5C takes power from the flywheel side). The PO declined to do so...

    Oil & Fuel  Throttle cable for Honda-powered TC5

    I ran into my first issue today when starting the tractor to charge the battery. It's a little thing, but I'm not sure how to proceed with the repair. The PO somehow rigged the original Terramite twist throttle to the Honda GX twin he repowered with. Something seems to have broken where the knob...

    Storing compact TLB on trailer

    I have no provision on my land to store my newly acquired (but not new) Terramite T5C indoors when not in use. I plan to rig a tarp canopy to shield it from at least the worst downpours. I would also like to get it at least a few inches off the ground. It would be great if I could safely store...

    Joined the club

    Hey! After searching off and on for several years, I finally bought a T5C. I paid $7,800, somewhat more than my target price, but the asking prices have been inching up around here (NJ), and I had lost out on several Terramites over the past six months by waiting on a lower price. I will come...

    T5C s/n & hydraulic fluid

    Hello. I am looking at a T5C for sale that I think I can get for a reasonable price. There is a plate on the firewall that bears the number 00520503. Is this the serial number (I thought I read that the s/n was on the frame only)? Is there a table here or elsewhere on the web that I can use to...

    MF hydrostatic drive question

    I am looking at a 1974 MF40 TLB with hydrostatic drive. This tractor would be used on some fairly steep grades. I have used more recent hydrostatic drive tractors (e.g. Terramite; Allmand) and found that they self-brake quite well, even on steep grades, greatly reducing the risk of a runaway...

    T5C vs T5B

    Hi, folks. I've been shopping for a good used T5C in NJ (budget is $7,000 or less). Right now, I have a line on an older T5C in PA with the Kohler and about 1800 hours for about $5k. Owner says there are a few minor cylinder weeps, and he believes the engine will need rings in the next few...

    Thoughts on L2550 purchase

    Hi. First post, so go easy :) I have been looking for a compact TLB to do some work on 40A of raw land I own in the Blue Ridge (currently live in NJ). There are some pretty steep slopes (including a pretty wicked 150' stretch on the access road), so good brakes & 4WD are indicated. I need to...
