5-1-03 Have just talked with the factory rep. and also engineering rep. the only fix they have is to slot the fan guard and split the difference in space from right to left side. Of course this does not fix the main problem it just give more space to the fan blade that was hitting the side of the guard. The stops are still pushing the radiator into the fan it just takes a little more movement for it to hit. As of 5-1-03 they do not have a fix for this and they do not expect one soon. They do agree that it is not right, that is a step foward. Plus they did say that my tractor is not the only one with this problem. They have taken pictures of the damage to my second fan blade and housing. As a help to show what the problem is. If you have any of this damage I would advise you take dated pictures of the parts and their damage before they replace them. In case your waranty runs out, as to have proof of the existing problem.

Have had the same problem with TC40D fuses. This is what I have found. The top of the fuse box is under the dashboard. When it rains or the dashboard gets wet, the water drains off depending on the angle of the tractor in different directions. If the tractor is parked at an angle for the water to run under the dashboard and drip into the top of the fuse box which is not covered and should be with a plastic cap that New Holland did not make for it, it will be caught by a fuse on which it has dripped onto. If you start the tractor before the water has dried up on the fuse leggs, it shorts out the fuse. In most cases because the New Holland engineers have wired all the safety features in a series, meaning that if one fuse or one wire related to the starting system is shorted out, the tractor will not start. I had this problem after 10 hrs after washing my tractor. It will also short a fuse while washing down your engine. If sitting on the tractor, on the right side is a hole where the throttle cable passed through the fire wall to the throttle lever. If water is shot in this hole while washing engine, it splashes up inside and fills up fuse block causing fuses to short. I have used some foam tape between the cables on both sides of the fire wall to close off this hole. Have told the New Holland repairman about this problem and eight months have passed, and so far have not seen a cover for the fuse block. Will probably have to make one.

Had battery problem on TC40D. Fan on tractor engine pulls vapor and also battery water from battery if climbing a hill. Original battery had vents aimed at radiator and oil cooler. Had a new style battery installed by dealer with vents facing the front of tractor instead of radiator. Had this problem a year ago and reported it to New Holland. They also replaced all parts attacked by the battery acid. Have had no problem after battery change.
