    Oil & Fuel  Oil Seal on TC55DA Front Axle.

    Hello Folks, I have a very slow leak on the front left axle. Enough to accumulate a lot of dirt on the wheel between washings. I'm going to replace the seal but wanted to get some idea of what this job entailed. Since it's front-wheel assist it looks like I have to pull the axle. Not sure...

    TC55DA - Where is 18LA loader hydr. pressure adjusted?

    Took my tractor in last year while still under warranty because one of the loader hydraulic cylinders failed. They replaced it, no problem. The mechanic told me he backed off the hydraulic pressure some so the cylinders wouldn't fail again. Since that time, I've noticed my lift capacity has...

    TC55DA & 18LA Loader problem. Bucket Won't Curl.

    I was out sighting in my deer rifle last Saturday when my son-in-law calls me on the phone. He was borrowing my tractor to get some sight prep work done for a home my daughter and SIL will be building soon. He says, "Ever had the loader not want to curl back up? I was pushing on this tree...

    TC55DA & 18LA Loader...Powerlifting!

    I've been doing some landscaping around my place and I decided to move some of the rocks around and put them where I want them. This is about the largest rock the loader can lift. The grapple itself weighs over 700lbs. I'm glad I've got a heavy box blade.

    Wimpy NH tool tray replaced with tool box.

    My friend borrowed my tractor and bent up the little weenie toolbox that comes on the back the later model Boomers. The way it was tore up is a long story. Had a piece of 8" square tubing left over from a construction job of the same friend. I had previously made a chain box for it before...

    Replaced Hydraulic line, now loader hesitates.

    Busted a line the other day on the loader, so I had another one made and topped off the fluild that was lost. This line went to one of the cylinders that curls/dumps the bucket. Now when I want to lift or curl the bucket, it hesitates just over a second before the loader even moves. Didn't do...

    TC55DA - EHSS clutch not engaging.

    Last Saturday I was working on my 1/2 mi. driveway pushing a little road base around filling in the low spots, when my tractor just quit moving. I thought that was real funny. . I tried backing up and nothing. I remembered about having to clutch pedal it first any time I start it or get off...

    Top Link bushing was missing on TC55DA

    Not until 120 hours later on my proof meter did I notice that there was a lot of play in my top link. I was switching out my box blade with bale spear and it seemed like the top link was really loose where it connected to the tractor. I pulled out the pin and checked to see if one of the...

    Chain Box

    SpankN8 beat me to the punch with his posting . I built mine about 6 weeks ago but never posted it. Finally took pics last weekend. Chain Box I used 6" square tubing. My FEL brackets already had holes drilled in them to mount the box. It holds a 20', 5/16 chain with room to spare. A hole...

    Expensive NH Air Filters: Better Solution?

    There are no air filters available for my tractor other than buying the NH filters that are rather expensive. My tractor has a dual filter setup (innner and outer). The inner filter is about $37 & the outer $35. The outer one gets the dirtiest and is hard to "blow out" to keep clean...

    Mississippi Area Flooding - What to do?

    I've been thinking about all the headaches a lot of the folks living in the flooded areas will have to go through. Aside from initially taking care of the bare necessities, there will come a time when people will have to clean up and rebuild. I'm not saying I would, but I'm thinking about...

    I have many left over burn piles when some areas of my property was cleared with heavy equipment. What remains in the piles is topsoil, ashes, & rock. Rock can vary from basketball size down to a grain of sand. I want to screen out tennis ball through basketball size. I want to build a rock...

    Relieving Hydraulic Pressure - Best Method?

    When I bought my tractor I also got a root grapple for my loader. Picture of it here: http://www.rootgrapple.com/GRAPP40.jpg It's a piece of cake to quick detach my loader bucket and attach the root grapple but the hydraulics is a different story. Here's the details.... When I received the...

    Please add a new manufacturer to Reviews forum

    Bought a root grapple from Unlimited Fabrication, LLC. Wanted to post a review on this item but couldn't find them in the manufacturer's list. Also, didn't find anything obvious to select for the implement (i.e. brush grapple, root grapple, grapple bucket, etc.). Can this be added?

    Shifting on TC55DA - what should I expect?

    TC48 owners can probably give some feedback here also. I have the EHSS option on my tractor if it makes a difference. When shifting gears it appears to me that the shifter is very stiff although the only reference I have is shifting gears on a truck. I feel like I have to use more force than...

    Hydraulic Fluid leak at quick coupler connection

    I installed some quick coupler to my rear SCVs on my tractor and I'm getting some fluid leakage where the quick coupler screws on to the hose. What should I be using to help seal up the threads when I install the couplers? Can I use the teflon type tapes used on plumbing? Looking for...

    My TC55DA is ready for pickup.

    Got a call from my dealer awhile ago. Said my tractor was ready to go. So, after work I'll be stopping by for a "test" run. My tractor was not on their lot so I hadn't had a chance to drive it. It came directly from the assembly plant. I'll have them deliver it tomorrow, so it'll be...

    TC55DA Steering Issue - What to do before I buy.

    Filters for my TC55DA?

    I was wanting to order several filters for the TC55DA I will soon be receiving. I'm sure I can pick these up at the dealer but I was wondering if WIX filters weren't better? I don't think WIX makes filters for this model tractor. If they don't then who else makes good filters for tractors...

    NH TN75A torque vs. Kubota M9000 torque.

    Although the engines in these two tractors are quite a bit different in size, the smaller TN75A engine is very close to the torque of the much larger M9000. HP on the Kubota is quite a bit higher though. I'm trying to convince a friend of mine, at least for a second, to consider the TN75A in...

    Used 2000 Kubota L3710 HST

    Found this used tractor for sale with 450 hours on it. It's got R1 tires, loader, and box blade. It's very clean. Wants $11,500. Too much or just right? Central Texas -Osconda

    DK65C vs. DK65S

    Anyone put together the differences between these two machines? Wondering what the advantages are to the newer model in a ROPS version. Should I be able to find a better discount on the "C" version? -Osconda Ranch

    NH TN75A or Kubota 6800M

    Looking at both of these tractors seriously. I have been borrowing a friend's tractor(JD4610) lately, and frankly I'm tired of borrowing it. I feel like I need to have my own for convenience and I don't want the responsibility of breaking/damaging his. For the tasks I've been involved in, the...
