How are New Holland lever grips attached?

[jrh312]

We have a New Holland TZ25DA that the previous owner's dog ate the lever grips basically off of. I want to replace them but I can't get them to budge. I don't think they're threaded on from what I can tell, so what's a good way to remove them?

Try heating them with a heat gun/hair dryer.

Since they are already destroyed, you can slice through the rubber with box cutter. They should just pull off the metal level. Heating the grip up as mentioned above usual works well. I just replaced mine after I bought my Tz25da. Some dog chewed them as well…I guess they must taste good.
