Larry,

I have a TC40D and the temp. guage did not change either. My problem was with the coolant drain hose on the right side of the engine. It was recirculating the coolant even with the thermostat closed. Try pinching off the hose with vice grips and see if the temp. rises. There is a post here called "Operating Temp" that discusses the issue. To resolve it I put a shut-off valve in the hose. That way I can close it to reach operating temp and open it when I want to drain the coolant. My dealer found a nice brass valve for me.

Hi Craig,

I heard from a NH dealer that the new color is the same shade as what is used in other countries. I guess they wanted to be consistent. Why the difference in the first place, I have no idea.

Hi Dave, I bought mine from Capital Tractor in Greenwich NY (518) 692-9611. I have included a link to their web site. The salesman's name is Charles Weeden. The sales tax wouldn't be an issue since you live in NH. Bear in mind that buying from a dealer further away has it's disadvantages. Delivery cost as well as service. Also I don't think they made very much money on the deal so I might have caught them at the right time. Moores Corners was another dealer that would match the price but I heard that they are a smaller dealer and I liked the people from Capital. If you like the dealer that is close to you and you can get their price closer to the one that I got, you should seriously consider going local.

Hello,
I also have a TC40D that had the same problem. I live in Massachusetts and the temps have been about the same. It is the coolant drain hose that is recirculating the coolant. I thought the best solution would be to install a shutoff valve in the hose. That way you can close the valve during the cold months and open it to use the drain feature when needed. The dealer found a nice brass valve and sent it to me. I installed it within a few minutes. The best way to install it is to pinch off the hose with two pairs of vice grips and cut the hose and install the valve. The tractor now warms up within a few minutes.
