The owner blows out and inspects the engine bay, checks belts, filters, and battery connections, touches up paint with Dollar Store and leftover New Holland paint, pulls wheels to paint rims, and modifies a backhoe return line fitting. Best for existing TC25D owners doing DIY upkeep, not shoppers comparing tractors.
Posted by the Work with Kevin channel, an owner sharing hands-on, budget-minded upkeep on his own long-owned tractor.
The owner reports 2,610 hours on the tractor, which he bought new in 2000.
He used Dollar Store Machinery Gray Krylon for the bucket and a quart of New Holland blue paint he had bought about twenty years earlier for the loader and body.
He used a 13 millimeter wrench to loosen the mount and tighten the belt since they did not buy a new one.
The original return line fitting was hard to reach down under the tractor, so he added an 8 inch half inch coupling extension to reach it more easily for backhoe release.
