Nice little New Holland. I like the refrigerator rack. Is that by chance a TC 25, 29, or 33? If so, I have the 700 page service manual in PDF format if you'd care for a copy. I have a TC29 myself. Handy little tractor.

It's a 1925 hydro. 4500 hours! That rack is original equipment I think? It bolts on too nice to be rigged up. Trust me! The previous owners rigged up so much stuff on this poor tractor. When we got it it wouldn't move. They messed around with putting a set of remotes on it and they plumbed it all wrong. Put an open center valve dumping into the intake for the hydro unit and taking power from the 3 point pump. Just a big mess of backyard idiotry.

I believe the the is the replacement for this tractor and many things are the same or similar.

That's a real nice looking rake there. I hear the V bar rakes make a nicer windrow than a V wheel rake.

Must have got a great deal on it to travel that far.

I prefer bar rakes. & yes I think so. But I need to run it before I know if it was a great deal.

Do you like the rubber teeth or do you prefer the spring teeth? Our 256 has the spring teeth.

Rubber will do a little better job in lighter crops. Steel last longer. My 256 is steel & 260 is rubber. Get to see it side×side. The 216 has a full set. Curious how that will perform.

Is that the 26 foot model?

27' by the book.

That's awesome! I've got a little under 1100 hours on mine. It looks almost identical, except mine has body panels that clip in where your rack is on both sides (you're right, my model replaced the 1925 in '99). Mine will run a long long time for the 7 gallons of fuel you can put in it. Those little Japanese diesels are pretty amazing. Hopefully mine will make it to 4000+ hours. Mine is a great match for a 100 gallon PTO sprayer for the orchard, a 5' bush hog, a 7' back blade for moving snow, or my three point log splitter. It might not be that useful to you, but shoot me a pm if you want that manual.

Getting the gator wired up to start spraying the fence rows. Should be faster than using the old 2n I hope! Will try to get the boom mounted on soon.

edit, note the old man walking stick in the gun rack! can't leave home without it.

Mine will eat a tank of fuel in a few hours brush hogging. It is completely wore out! Burns oil pretty good about a quart every 40 hours. Injection system is worn. Almost impossible to start even hot without a glowplug cycle. The hydro unit is still strong and it has more power
Than I think a tractor this size should have. Can't imagine how a new one runs!

My main tractor is a 5211. Grandpa bought it new in 1990. It was inside the barn in 1998 when it collapsed. Lived an easy life. Has 966 hours on it. I have everythin electrical working on it including all the idiot lights and signal lights. Even the backlights on the gauges! I have used it for everything but the round baler. We have a cab tractor for that.

Have built a canopy for it and put vertical exhaust on it.

The boom only covers 14' actual coverage after the 20" overlap. Works real good for the patches, using Prowl, roundup, etc.

Three major malfunctions today. Looks to be about 3 more weeks before everything is fixed. Did finish the hay today with the other tractor, after a lot of hooking and unhooking. This looks expensive!! The John Deere is inoperable with the fuel line broken. And the disc mower is toast!!
Plus the water pump went out on the 1855!
