The "T" code means the part was cast in 1950. If that is an original part, that means the tractor is a "C". The H had a rail frame that extended to the front of the tractor.

I rebuilt the engine on a Super C and got the Fast Hitch working. Kept it a couple years and sold it. Nice tractors. Quite a few of them around when I was interested in them.

I may have to try some different fluid, I suppose. It is a pain because my nearest NH dealer is over an hour away.

Don't know why it was fine for 7 years and then started acting this way.

I'll try to get it figured out before winter.

Thanks,
Bill

Help with TC29 hydraulics

Well, I went with the 1/2 ton truck (1500). I drove a couple examples of each, and I really liked the 1500 the best. Dodge had $7500 in rebates running, and the local dealer had one with the options I wanted, in the color I wanted, and they sell at invoice price. So it was about $10k off sticker price.

I don't think I'll be doing enough offroading or towing to justify a 2500, but maybe next time.

Thanks,
Bill

SCV = Selective Control Valve.

This is what provides and controls hydraulic power for the backhoe. Not all tractors have remote hydraulics. If they do, you can see the quick-connect couplers at the rear of the tractor.

I figured that the industrial tires were more rock and nail resistant than turfs, but don't know for sure.

As for finding the nails, it may be easier to just use a magnetic roller like the one linked to. I saw one being used by a roofing contractor once, it was truly amazing how many unseen roofing nails he picked up.

As far as aligning the splines, replacement clutch kits sometimes come with a plastic tool just for that. They are better than the univeral (non-splined) tools since they center the clutch plate as well as the spliens. You could see if the local parts store has a kit in stock and would let you borrow the alignment tool, or see if you can buy the alignment tool by itself.

For putting the tractor back together, a trick I've used on car transmissions may help. Get a couple of bolts the same size as the bellhousing bolts but a little longer. Cut off the heads, and use a hacksaw to slot the end. Use a screwdriver in the slots to turn them into the threads, you now have two guides to help line it up as you reassemble. Once in place, put a couple of bolts in the other holes, then use a screwdriver to remove your guide pins and replace them with the original bolts.

Good luck,
Bill

I just got one of those 1.5X lenses for my welding helmet a couple of weeks ago. It really helped me, especially with my little MIG. I'm still in partial denial about how bad my eyes are getting.

Murf touched on something there that I have found to be true. While you have to learn the basics on some scrap, once they can stick the metal together, get them working on a project. I learned the basics by rounding up all of the metal sillouhettes from the local rifle/pistol range and fixing them up. It wasn't much later I built my first trailer.

I would prefer stick welders to learn on. Unless I'm welding 1/8" or thinner metal, I always use my Lincoln buzz box. If they are serious about it, maybe next year for a wire feed.

I hope to teach my own little boy to weld someday.

Good luck,
Bill

I have no experience with the Clark equipment but had a 110v Forney welder that I used for several years. It was adequate for material up to 3/16" thick; it would weld 1/4" but at a low duty cycle. You would have to run a couple of beads then let it cool down or it would pop the built-in thermocouple. It would use 6013 rods fine but didn't like 6011's. I built a utility trailer with it but still keep an eye on the welds.

Most welders aren't fond of the 110-v machines because of their limited usefulness; they are going to tell you to get a 220V AC/DC machine. The 110 machine has the advantage of being cheaper to buy and also the ability to use it anywhere you have an outlet. If you don't plan to use it on thick material you'll be fine.

I didn't find out until I bought a 220V Lincoln AC welder that the smaller machine is harder to weld with; you have to practice striking an arc without the electrode sticking.

Good luck,
Bill

[QUOTE=harvey;151585] I'd meant to add when buying the "cutting disks" not the "grinding disks" it is inpairative that you get the correct ferrous or non ferrous....[/QUOTE]

I've never seen non-ferrous cutting wheels, unless they are the same ones used for ceramic or concrete. Is there a special non-ferrous metals cutting wheel?

I started using Mobil 1 in a street bike I had, an FJ1100 Yamaha. It was one of the more powerful air-cooled bikes and had a known problem scorching the cams if you used conventional engine oil. Synthetic oil was supposed to be a necessity if you ran the bike hard. That is why I bring up cooling; looking at the 25 hp Kawa engine in my Gravely ZTR, I just wondered if cooling is a problem. I see it has a little engine oil cooler built in at the base of the filter, while the next lower hp engine doesn't. This got me curious if maybe synthetic oil might help the engine live a little longer.

Thanks for the replies. I sure didn't know anybody was using sythetics in their mowers.

[QUOTE=candoarms;151000]I would rule out any problem with the rings, cylinder walls, or any compression problems.The problem, if there is one, would be in the top end of the engine. (possibly valve stem seals) The lower end of the engine (crankshaft, rods, pistons, rings, etc) is probably fine.[/QUOTE]<br>
<br>
I disagree. Problems with the rings or cylinder walls allows pressure into the crankcase. This pressurizes the valve cover via the pushrod tubes,etc. Valve seals are not meant to control pressure, only oil flow. Same is true of valve guides. If the valves aren't seated properly or there are valve or valve guide/seal problems, there would be different symptoms.<br>
<br>
Traditionally, blowby=ring problems.<br>
<br>
However, I may still agree that there isn't really a problem. All engines have some blowby, it is just a matter of how bad is it. If the crankcase ventilation system (such as PCV valve) can't handle the blowby, it is deemed excessive.<br>
<br>
A leakdown test will give a definitive answer on the condition of the rings & cylinders.<br>

I'd be interested what you find out if you get as far as pricing one. Not to be nosy. When I bought mine, Dodge was using a program that has since been discontinued. It set a quota for the dealership; if they met the quota, salesman were paid a bonus on each car they sold. The bonus was pretty good; so much so that they would sell the cars at invoice price. So the salemen would make little or nothing on the actual sale (many sales people are paid by percentage of gross profit); but they would make out well if they sold a lot of cars and the dealership made quota.

Anyway at the time I bought my car for invoice minus the $3000 rebate.

I see on the Dodge website that the SXT model (250 hp V6) AWD is considerably less expensive than the Hemi RT.

Good luck,
Bill

I realize I'm resurrecting an old thread, but I just saw the last post.

My old pics of my TC29 and dirt scoop are in my profile pics at #21,22,23. As I posted before, before I get blasted for it, the ROPS is down because I was dumping in a shed...wouldn't go in with the ROPS up.
