    Kandi E10K cowboy

    I'm considering this UTV (or, depending on your opinion, glorified golf cart). For $13,999, it looks pretty decent however. https://www.kandiamerica.com/product/cowboy-e10k/ Apparently these are sold through Lowes stores. This particular model is not shown on the Lowes website however. My...

    TC33DA hour meter

    My TC33DA hour meter has stopped working. Everything else in the instrument cluster works, including the tachometer. I've read some other posts here where both the tachometer AND the hour meter have failed, caused by alternator AC voltage, electrical connection, or other issues, but that is...

    TC33DA 600 hour maintenance - fuel injector and valve clearance

    The owners manual for my TC33DA recommends checking and adjusting the fuel injectors and valve clearance at 600 hours. Are these involved procedures? About how many hours of labor should a dealer charge me to perform these maintenance services?

    TC33DA - bent 3 point hitch arm

    I hit a stump and bent the left side 3 point hitch arm on my TC33DA :(. Photos attached. I seem to recall that it originally had a slight bend in it, but perhaps not? The right arm does have a slight bend. I'm looking for either photos or a description of what is a "normal" bend, if any...

    Laminated tire wheel zerk - repair question

    I need to drill out and replace a broken grease zerk on the rear wheel for my rotary cutter. I can't drill straight into the zerk with the laminated tire on the split rim, so I thought that I could simply unbolt and separate the two rim sides from the tire. With the tire out of the way, I...

    TC33DA power steering fluid reservoir cap/dipstick

    I've notice that my power steering fluid reservoir cap/dipstick is loose, like REALLY loose. I'm afraid it's going to bounce out and get lost. I don't remember it being this loose in the past, and it certainly shouldn't be worn out. It's not like I'm removing it every day. Do they shrink...

    Where does this carriage bolt belong?

    I had a mishap with my TC33DA. A small diameter log that I drove over turned upward and hit my radiator, where the lower radiator hose attaches. I'm hoping that the damage is confined to the hose and clamp, although the radiator does have appear to have a small dent in it :(. The coolant leak...

    TC33DA front axle protector plate

    I snagged the front axle protector plate on my TC33DA, probably on a stump, and bent it up pretty badly. The new replacement part 86402588 is about $100 😮, but I think I can have one made by my local welding shop for less than that. It's a 3" x 12" plate', 1/4" thick steel, with 2 bends and 2...

    Pole building foundation question

    I'm planning to construct a 48 wide x 40 deep pole building on a site that has a moderate slope. So, the floor level at the front of the building would be just above grade at that location, and floor level at the back of the building (40 feet back) would end up being be about 4 feet above the...

    Storage building door recommendations

    I'm considering construction of a storage building - something in the 40 x 50 foot size range. One unusual thing that I want this building to have is a 40ish foot wide clear opening (like an aircraft hangar) on the 50 foot wide side of the structure. I also need the building to be reasonably...

    Need help with15LA loader support stand reinstallation

    I took the loader support stand off my New Holland 15LA loader (did not remove the loader from the tractor, just the support stand from the loader). A few weeks later, I went to put the support stand back on, and got confused. I'm not sure that I have it on the way it was originally. I...

    Using a forestry mulcher along with Garlon herbicide for Buckthorn control

    Need help determining TC33DA hose clamp location

    I have a New Holland TC33DA tractor. Today I noticed a hose clamp laying on the ground near where I was using my tractor (photos attached). The markings on that hose clamp match those on other hose clamps on my tractor, so I assume it came off the tractor. I looked over the tractor and...

    TC33DA stuck in full time 4WD

    My New Holland TC33DA seems to be stuck in full time 4WD. I can't turn without the rear tires rubbing and skipping on the ground. I checked the part-time/full-time 4WD lever/cable, and it's moving freely. It attaches to a small arm on the front underside of the tractor (with a spring...

    how do I bleed pressure on a grapple bucket?

    I have a grapple bucket with two hydraulic lines for the grapple, fed from the rear remotes on my TC33DA. I have hydraulic couplers mounted on the FEL, so there is about 4 feet of hydraulic lines between these and the grapple cylinder. Whenever I disconnect the grapple bucket, I have a hard...

    getting maximum life out of chainsaw air filter

    I have a Stihl 026 chainsaw. When it starts to lose power, I know it's time to blow out the air filter with compressed air. Then it runs great again until the filter clogs again. Lately the time between cleanings has been shortening. I suppose any filter gets to the point where it can't be...

    Need help verifying TC33DA filter part numbers

    I will be doing service on my TC33DA shortly. As part of a separate implement deal, I was provided with some filters for my tractor that are Case and other brands, so the part numbers differ from the New Holland recommended part numbers. I got an Oil, Hydraulic, fuel, and HST filter...

    changing HST fluid based on age vs hours?

    I'm approaching 100 hours on my New Holland TC33DA after 3 1/2 years of ownership (I use the tractor about 30 hours per year). I did the 50 hour maintenance a few years ago, which called for replacing the HST filter but not the fluid. I appears that changing the HST fluid itself isn't called...

    Anybody tried these traction cables instead of tire chains?

    SCC Super Z8 They have a size that will fit my 15-19.5 rear tractor tires. They look easier to handle and to put on than regular chains. They're comparable in price to regular tire chains by the time you purchase the tighteners. Our local fire department uses them on their apparatus and...

    Are hydraulic fittings pipe thread pitch or other?
