New Holland TC33DA

[plumbshifflett]

Good morning to all. Just reaching out to all tractor owners who have had starting issues with their tractors. I am the original owner of a 2004 New Holland tc33da. Has a little over 500 hrs. Having an issue of the engine not turning over fast enough to start. First item I thought could be bad was the original starter, have installed two different one from different suppliers thinking might gotten a bad Chinese rebuild. Battery is new. I have checked the ground cable from battery to the frame and the group of grounds that attach to the block. Has any one else experienced this issue and what corrected it?
Thanks Bryant

Welcome to TBN. Plenty of TC owners here. The TC series was prone to internal corrosion where the battery terminals were crimped to the battery cables. You cannot see it. It allows voltage to cross through but not amps, so a multimeter shows voltage as fine. Try bypassing both the cables with a set of jumper cables, clamping them at each end where the cables attach. I replaced mine by matching them to cables at the auto supply store instead of buying them from New Holland.

Thanks for the info. I will give that a try
