Two problems with TC35

LabLuvR · Apr 16, 2013

I've got two problems with my TC35 I was wondering if you guys could shed some light on.

Problem number one:

The cruise control feature quit working the other day. The light is on in the switch,but when I press the switch the cruise does not kick in.

Problem number two:

At idle, I can feel the tractor pulsating some and the rear implement moves a tad either up or down. Also,when I cut the tractor off, the attachment will drift down to the ground on its own. Is this a function of low hydraulic fluid or something else? The hydraulic level seems to be fine.

Thanks once again.

Your cruse control is actually an electromagnet that clamps on a disk. I would first inspect if any contaminates are caught between this plate and the electromagnet. Then I would the check if there is voltage present at the electromagnet. The electromagnet is illustration #15 part # 87316542.

It appears that your 3Pt has a leak down issue. 3Pt Leak down

For cruise control trouble-shooting, go to this thread.

Your problem with the 3PH is surely the lift cylinder leaking. You can verify this by closing off the drop rate knob under the seat. If the dropping continues, your cylinder is definitely leaking internally past the seal.

BTW: Your tractor is not a TC35, but a TC35D. The TC35 does not have a cruise control, only the "deluxe" model with HST has cruise.
