The dealer didn't have a real good explanation why it was an option on the tc 40 but not the 45. He did state some of the early 45s came setup internally for a mid mount. It appears to be the same identical tractor with 5 more hp. I was informed you could buy all the parts for a conversion but I bet it would be pricey, and time consuming for the installation. I have a 6' woods mower that would be a good candidate for the install. I guess a drop shaft from the rear pto with a couple bearings would be a cost effective alternative. I was just curious why it wasn't available.

Joe, I get the impression it was a decision made to limit the number of standard internal components on the TC45D to hold the price down (and profit up). /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif I would guess that only 10% or less purchasers of the TC45D would opt for a mid-mount. However, I think enough people have asked for mid PTO that it's now available on the new TC45DAs. At least I think I read that as an option, but I could be wrong. Maybe someone who knows for sure will post and verify this for me/you. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I love this forum, ask and someone knows or has prior experience. Now..... if only my service advisor or new holland customer service could give straight answers in place of I will get back to you I would be definately a happy consumer. Makes you wonder how these people got these jobs.... good research capabilities ????? Thanks Jinman.

Once again you are correct, the TC45 was not available with mid pto, enough people wanted it and it is now available on all class three models.
