Topic

I was looking � on the New Holland forum. the SEARCH � now going to Google � doesn�t help me find a FILTER for the hydraulic. (and tranny and differential). It�s the BIG sucker down under � behind the right rear wheel.<br>
<br>
Does anybody have a cross ref � or a trusted source � for those. Or a good PART NUMBER. I have the NH books, and it does NOT have it. JDL<br>

Well, I guess I STARTED this thread -- like a decade ago. Our TC33 still has the "auxiliary� starter button that I put in there. I replaced the NH ignition switch once � at something like $45 � because the old one was intermittent. I tore it apart just to see � and it had MELTED DOWN. AND had dust / chaff in it !!

I put tape (Scotch 88 � I�m an old electrician) on the new one to seal it up. BUT within the year the new one was acting up as well. (fool me once � at $45 etc) SO I got a BIG (20 amp rating) toggle switch and just bypassed the ignition switch!! So there�s a switch down low on the panel that is ON � and another push button switch on the left side (covered by tape to make it water resistant). NO PROBLEMS since. So she�s been perfect for the last 8 or 9 years � except for the (hidden) gremlins that I�ve bypassed. (well, I just had a hydraulic hose on the loader fail � but at least that�s not electrical ;-) JL

TC33 won t start -- sometimes

Jack, Make sure you have the RIGHT manual. My TC33D came with an older one that wasn't right.

I don't know how to direct you on these boards, but there is a long thread with my origl questions and starting problems. I still have an intermittant problem sometimes that I call "Clunk , no start". It'll pull the solenoid part way, but not far enough to hit the electrical contacts.

At times -- thru the relays and safe switches -- it's not a full 12 volt at the solenoid "pull it in" terminal.

If you have more problems, look at that thread for lots more details.

2nd.H.L. Thank you. The dealer charged me right at $10 .. I've got 2 dealers, just neither are closer than 15 mi. or so. I'll keep an eye for the Hastings filter.

Couple of years ago -- Dec. 2003 -- I had my new NewHolland gell while plowing my drive (which is near 400') here in the N. of Omaha area. (it was about -10) I went and got 5 gal of kerosene and that sure helped it !! I spent a year in Greenland .. at 60-70 below zero, they never shut them off except inside a heated hanger .. and the Diesel vehicles there had pure kero with a "splash" of gasoline. BUT you gotta consider the "lubricity" problem then.

I've gotta agree with the "dust". I have a fairly small Bearcat (an 8N or my NH-TC33 runs it easy) .. it's rated/sized for 5", but anything wrist size or more is firewood here. I used to complain that it made SAWDUST rather than CHIPS ... well, it was that we just made brush piles of the "small stuff" and didn't get to chipping till LOTS later. I've had more time lately and find that using it on fresh/green brush is easier, quietier, less dusty, and DOES make actual chips !! Gotta be easier on the machine too! JD

I probably messed up the other day asking my question in the "ford" forum -- rather in this one specifically.<br>

"Betsy" is a 1951 8N (side-mount distributor). The 3-point USED TO be just fine ... then would "get wierd" at times. Low lift power / all up (with little control) or all down, but if I "tapped" (OK, hammered) on the case, it would free up. I suspect something "sticks" ?? I'm gonna change hyd oil .. it's got "gear oil 80-90" as per specs, but I've heard other opinions (PTO shaft does leak a bit -- I'd hate to go too light). It used to have to be above 30 degrees for the Hydraulic to work .. cold = thick. (but I got a new NH TC-33 a couple years ago, so Betsy just does light duty now .. and the TC-33 does the plowing and mowing) <br>
In short, what's with the 8N's 3 point? JDL<br>

I don't know where you are tapping exactly and that might help to answer your question. In the top of the case is a piston simular to a car engine that might be worn enough to get stuck or you might just have a sticky valve. To install lighter oil will only find more leaks for you then you had before. The system is designed for gear oil and I'd stick with it. <br>

Art, Thanks. As to WHERE ... I think I used to "tap" (actually pound) on the sides of the case, but it won't "free it up" at all any more. I keep thinking I'll get time to tear into it, but never seem to find the time -- OR the space to tie up. I also keep thinking sometime I'll drain it, put in some cheap detergent oil for a while, then drain it again and put in the proper gear oil. Maybe that'll help. "Betsy" probably has more sentimental value than $$ value. My wife says Betsy is the "Tractor Emeritus" since we got the NewHolland. (I spent a lot of my youth on 8N's mowing & raking hay .. and cleaning feed lots) I hate to spend to have some dealer or shop rebuild the hydraulic on a 50 year old tractor. Now, if there's somebody out there who knows and loves old Fords -- within 2 or 300 miles of the Omaha area -- and would like a little project this winter .... :-) I'd be tickled to talk to them.

I love the TC33, but the fuses are getting old. That above was back in LAST August. I DID put in a 30a main. Worked till this Feb. (10 below !!). It blew the 30 amp once -- then was MAYBE while the glow plugs were on. Then 3-4 days ago it wouldn't start, different symptoms -- as if I had the PTO in gear or left it in gear. THIS time it was the 15a fuse (from the factory as a 15 .. but the book says it's to be a 10a) in the #5 slot on the right side. Replacing it was all it took. I've started it 6-8 times in the last 2-3 days.

NOTE .. the 1st manual they gave me on the thing WAS wrong. it was "3/02" down in the left corner of the cover. The schematics were wrong (and the "main fuse") as well as the fuse block info on page 3-23.

So, WHY does the "Boomer" blow fuses? (since we have 12 acre, I'm gonna put some in the tool box and save a long walk some day !)
