Just a quick note - the power steering fluid is also NH143. I recently changed this fluid and filter resevoir (~$90+ for the filter, ugh!).

Hydraulic fluid for TC29D Tractor

Purchased a relatively new 70554 chipper (3 months old, garage kept) for my New Holland tractor. The previous owner had a Simplicity tractor and had to have the PTO shaft cut very small. Now the distance is too long between the chipper and my tractor's PTO shaft. Ordered a new shaft (~$200 - ouch!) but found that removing the old shaft from the chipper was VERY difficult. Is it supposed to be so tight? It's a keyway locking mechanism and, according to Crary, it should slide off with little difficulty (two bolts at 90-degree offset keep it on the chipper shaft). Any similar experiences?

I have a Boomer1530 (go figure from my user id) which has a small leak somewhere. Everytime I pull it out of the garage, there's a small puddle of antifreeze on the floor. It looks like it may be between the water pump and the hose that leads to the radiator. Anyone have a similar problem? I bought a replacement hose ($11 from dealer) but haven't replaced it yet.

Yes, finally changed the power steering filter and oil on my Boomer 1530. It took about 15-20 minutes (I tend to take things slow). It still kills me that the filter cost so much!

I have some pics but don't know how to send them to this site.

Take care,

I need to replace my battery on my 1530 (battery won't hold a charge; and it's 10 years old). I've had a number of problems with it corroding on the terminals throughout the years. It's garage-kept and only used on my little farmette property (5 acres), so I'm diappointed with its quality/design. My question is whether it's worth the ~$90 that my dealer is quoting me to get a new battery (Part #: F920DSW).
Any suggestions on whether to get a NH battery, a Tractor Supply battery, or other???

I'd like to know about the blade question, too. I have the same mid-mount mower and am trying to get the most use out of my old blades (I'm not really sure when to say 'enough is enough'). I bought some new blades from my dealer and they look different (haven't actually tried them yet). My belt broke last year and, again, got one from the dealer. Replacing it wasn't as bad as I expected! I'll try and send you the cost and other info when I find it. BTW, have you changed the oil within the mid-mount mower? If so, how often?
