When lowering a very heavy 3 point chipper back to the ground I try to do it smoothly to avoid unnecessary strain or wear on the tractor, but it is difficult to prevent a bit of bouncing unless I just slam the lever forward and let the chipper drop. Is there a right or better way to lower heavy 3 point implements so as to protect the tractor? Can the hydraulics and mechanicals that move the arms break if not used correctly? Should the tractor be running when the arms are lowered? Thanks... Read more ..read more

Just took delivery of our new Boomer 3040 last weekend! I'll get some pictures up later. In order to get it squeezed into the garage, I had to raise the bucket to make room for the ATV and other toys. Is there any problem parking the tractor with the bucket raised and unsupported? I wedged a 2x6 under the bucket to keep it from squashing the ATV if it leaks down. Thanks! Rick ..read more

Hi Everyone, A while back I posted some pics of the rear remote valve I made for my 1710. See the last pic below, and here's a link to the original post: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/new-holland-owning-operating/344051-ford-1710-rear-remote-valve.html I've had several people see that post and ask for help with their rear hydraulics. Most recently, a member requested help with plumbing a backhoe to the tractor hydraulics. He didn't need the valve mounted to the tractor, but... Read more ..read more

I'm hoping someone out there may have a book or CD of the wiring diagrams. Primarily interested in the three wires on the alternator. It has three posts. One large one is battery positive output, one small one I believe might be the tach output signal. The third post is slightly smaller than the battery post, and this circuit is draining the battery when the engine is off. Removing the wire from the post eliminates the draw. At first I thought it was an alternator internal problem, but I'm... Read more ..read more

Helping a friend with a Ford 1715 (Shibaura ?) 3 cylinder diesel. While chasing another problem, we dropped the water separator bowl. Of course that put air into the fuel system. We were able to bleed #1 and #2 at the injector, but we can not get #3 to work (clearly NOT injecting as cracking the fuel line does NOT cause RPM to drop). When we crack the fuel line at the injector, there appears to be tiny air bubbles coming out there. Repeated this 3 or 4 times with no difference... Read more ..read more

Hi all, I'm back after a long hiatus. My gear drive 1210 that I use for moving snow has an issue. The lift arms will lower fairly quickly after shutting it off. The heavier the implement the faster it goes. After some searching, it appears I need to replace a piston seal. I have looked at numerous posts from expert JC Jetro and I am a little confused. Do I access this seal from the rabbit / turtle valve or do I remove the seat and go in from here? Any pictures and advice would be... Read more ..read more

So I have been poking around here for years but just joined. Just went through all 241 pages of this particular forum (Quite a rabbit hole ) and haven't seen anything similar. I have a TC45D with Woods 1012 Loader and a Construction Attachments 4 in1 bucket. I I opened the bucket and then can not get it closed. I feel it is electric problem. Fuses all checked out and I have tried to jump past all wires with no luck. The only place I haven't tried is where the 2 wires go in to some kind of... Read more ..read more

Hi all, My 2013 Workmaster 35 is having running issues. It will start and idle, but if I throttle up, it struggles. I've checked the fuel line to the tank for problems (none), and replaced the fuel filter, but it still has problems. However, when I tried to bleed the fuel filter via the manual pump on the top of the filter housing, nothing comes out of the bleed screw, no matter how many times I push the pump. I can hear air being pushed out of the bleed screw. Some fuel must be... Read more ..read more
