I live atop Lookout Mountain in Northern Alabama on 13 acres; nothing level about my property. I have two NH Boomers, TC33D and a TC40D. I want to install wheel spacers on both to stabilize them a little better on sloping ground. I�m thinking 2� spacers on them; is that enough or too much? Also, should I put them on the front wheels as well? Will the spacers mess up the steering geometry in any way; both are 4 wheel drive? Where would you recommend I purchase the spacers? Need input please!

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

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?

Beware of Clean CarFax! I looked at two vehicles for sale that each had a Clean CarFax and both vehicles had been hit in the Driver's door and repainted.
CarFax is a good starting point, but let your eyes and hands tell you for sure. Look for vin# tags on major components such as doors, trunk, hood. Look for signs of overspray and feel edges of body panels for roughness. Everything from the factory was smooth.

Beware of flooded vehicles from Katrina.

After Mowing for an hour and parking the tractor there will be 4 or 5 drips of oil on the floor. Seems to be getting worse. The breather tube to the bottom of the engine seems to be clear. Where would the pressure come from? Thanks

It looks like his small shed is very close to the property line. In AZ. where I live, his shed would have to be 7' from the line. I would call planning and zoning, he may have to move it back a few feet.

I have repaired many headliners on the 1980's GM cars. Gluing the old liner doesn't work because the old foam has deteriorated. I don't know if they are the same on today's cars, but here's how to do the 1980's style. Buy some headliner material from an upholstery shop. This material has the foam made into it & stretches very well. Remove headliner & peel off old material. Scrape off foam with razor blade scraper or use a grinder with a flexible disc without the hard backing pad. Spray 1/2 of the headliner shell & 1/2 of material with upholstery glue. Let the glue get tacky. Lay the material down, starting from the center & working out to the edge. Do the other half the same way. Trim material about 1" larger than the shell. Fold material over the edges & glue on the back side. Replace headliner. The material and glue are not very expensive and will take the novice about 2 hours. We used to charge $100. for 1 hours work and the the customers gladly paid.

It is best if you put a cutting edge on when the bucket is new. If you install a cutting edge when the bucket is worn, it will not fit tight to the bucket. The bolts can pop from dirt getting in between the bucket and blade. The dirt acts like hydaulic fluid and separates the two pieces.

I've seen a lot of posts regarding the proper method used to check the air pressure in liquid filled tires. I wanted see for myself if there was a variation in air pressure. <br>
I started with 15-19.5 R4 tires filled just above valve stem with water/anti freeze mixture.(valve stem should be covered to prevent corrosion).<br>
#1. valve stem up & tire raised off ground - 12 psi<br>
#2. valve stem down & tire raised off ground - 12 psi<br>
#3. valve stem up & tire resting on ground - 12 psi<br>
#4. valve stem down & tire resting on ground - 13 psi<br>
I then put valve stem at top and let out liquid until only air came out of valve stem. I repeated steps #1-#4 got the same results. <br>
I hope this test will clear up some confusion regarding the proper method used to check air pressure in liquid filled tires.<br>

I was looking at a Woods 7500 the other day. It seems they have a nice sturdy support plus the subframe for support. I'll have to change my loader mounts since they made a change since 1999. The woods looks good but the price i'm not sure of. Is the woods worth the Extra money ? The Rhino looks good but every dealer is creating doubt about their subframe and my Woods Loader.
