I tell myself to go with OEM, but somehow keep getting drawn into that Siren Song of low price. LOL on Chinese Replacement Auto Parts.. or our more common acronym, CRAP.

Here are my test results in case someone else has similar issue. Issue: TC30 stalled as soon as I took it out of N (move to L or H) or it will die if I take off the parking brake. Troubleshooting suggestions: 1. Buy a New Holland TC30 Service Repair Manual since it has all of the testing steps...
