@JPS Just throwing this out there since you're close and may have a use. I have a 48" DR Grader I want to sell. It's similar to what's pictured below. The linear actuator isn't working and would need replaced (unless you converted it to a manual lift). I "think" a new actuator is about $150...

You may need a minor clutch adjustment. How far can you push in the clutch pedal before you start to feel resistance? Can't speak specifically for your tractor but if it's more than about 1/2", you may have too much play. When that happens, when you fully depress the clutch pedal, the clutch...

I live kind of close. Thinking of maybe selling my rtv. If your budget only allows for a used machine, let me know.

I'm on my phone and only use 1 finger so this will be short for now. I'll elaborate later. The rtv will do all you ask. I'm not a fan of equipment with cabs in the woods. Too many branches that want to break the glass. As I recall, the bobcat has twice the power of the rtv. The rtv may...

Does the noise sound like gears trying to mesh? I don't have your tractor but do occasionally get a grinding. To mitigate: Reduce engine speed to idle. Make sure the clutch is fully depressed. Maybe wait a few seconds. Engage the PTO. The grinding should be gone or almost gone.

Damn that thing is pretty. The reach looks incredible!

Can't speak for your year/model, but on mine, it's a square channel that's on the left side frame (under the bed). There's a short cable on it. Just slide it off the frame and over the hyd cylinder.

Welcome to the forum. We're going to need more info. Where was the oil coming from? What does it smell like (e.g. does it smell like diesel)? How much oil came out? If you pull the dipstick, is there still oil in there? Any indications of oil spray or leak from the top side of the engine...

According to tractordata, for 9a86417 it looks like it's a 1969 https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/7/4/743-massey-ferguson-135.html 135 Serial Numbers 1964641000001 1965641001909 1966641014871 19679A10001 19689A39836 19699A63158 19709A87325 19719A107519...

Try backing off the go-pedal to about 1/2 way. Mashing the pedal to the floor isn't the right approach on hills.

tractordata.com should have the S/N and year. If you don't find it there, post the serial # here and I'll see what I can do. ;)

Welcome to the forum. The first thing that comes to mind is the spark arrestor. Have you checked it for clogging?

Most places charge for the manual. Normally around $50 to get it in a download/PDF format. Be careful where you get them. Foreign sites have gotten manuals which may not be accurate or pirated or otherwise. This place "looks" reputable...

Looks like you got the very last one manufactured in 1999. 010499 https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/003/0/9/3098-new-holland-tc33.html TC33 Serial Numbers 1998G003207 1999G010499 2000G017605 2001G026729 2002G035134 2003G039436

I just grab 20, 5-gallon cans and head to the station. ;)
