    NH TM155 cooling issue

    We had one do the same, I did price up a new vistronic coupling (can't remember how much it was now) but being a yorkshire man I ended up getting a standard fan and viscous coupling. Fixed the problem. I believe @Ray may have more technical knowledge.

    Cx860 starting problem

    Not sure whether a cx 860 is the same but we have a tx68 which had similar symptoms, continual clicking when the key is turned but no starter engagement. Although the combine is on a 12 volt system the engine starts on 24v, which is controlled by the box up in the engine bay, that does all the...

    Hedge cutter trouble

    I understand what you are saying and am pretty sure, without sound like a smarty pants and presuming the wiring from the control box to the spool block is good, that your problem lies with a relay inside the control box. Like I said before, turn the pto on, then turn the box on and give it a tap...

    Hedge cutter trouble

    I think I've had this problem before with a bomford. When you turn the box on give it a tap on top with your knuckles. I think out problem was a sticking relay that powers the dump valve, and giving the box a tap can be just enough to make the ralay return to its correct position. Do all the...

    Axle or complete dolly

    Try searching for J. Shepherd and son at Bishop Thornton near Harrogate. They used to be commercial vehicle dismantlers although not sure if still on the go. Their yard used to be full to bursting of all things with wheels.

    Today NOT at work

    I saw that as well although he was driving towards the petrol station when I saw him. My grandad used to go shopping on his tractor before he passed his car test at 70 odd years old. Parking up outside the bank in Harrogate was a regular occurrence, probably be frowned upon today.

    Tm 150 warning light

    Think that's the low fuel light as mentioned above. Ours sometimes comes on if you get enthusiastic with the pressure washer around the sender unit, top of tank behind n/s steps. Soon goes out again though.

    NH TM165 Power Command...any good?

    We have one on 9000hrs plus, never been touched apart from a new fan and its been fairly well worked. Someone once said to me not to use the shuttle lever as an alternative to the brake pedal and you'll never have any bother. i.e. dont change direction while still moving. So far so good.

    NH TM165 Power Command...any good?

    If any thing like the 155 it'll be a good tractor IMO. We have 3 155's, all bought second hand and never put a foot wrong. Probably worth a dyno test before buying (if that is your plan) to see how many turns it has had on the pump. If its over 200hp it might be better left alone from a...
