    TO30 Spark plugs

    Just curious on what brand and type spark plug do you prefer to run in your TO30 tractor? My starter just went out so I am dropping it off later to my local electric motor shop to get rebuilt. And so I figured in the mean time I'd catch up on some maintenance on it.

    Disc or Spring tooth

    I have a TO30 that I use a spring tooth for a couple of fields just for the weeds that come up. I was curious if this disc harrow would work also with my TO30 or is it to heavy? I don't want to over work my tractor.

    I was wondering if anyone could tell me what to torque the bolts to on my oil pan for a TO30? And also I ordered a gasket and I was wondering what the two other little cut outs were for. I'm sure I'll see as soon as I drop the oil pan, but I was just curious. [/img]

    Starter Question

    When we got our TO30 running again one of the problems was the Starter gave out, we used the one out of a TO35 we have. And I plan on taking the bad one from the TO30 to get rebuilt at the shop that did my generator, so I can put the other one back in the TO35. My question is the to30 is...

    Transmission, Hydraulic, Oil Change

    So my TO30 is now running good, but after my test run in the field I noticed the oil on the transmission dipstick is a thick light caramel looking color . So I read that they get water in there real easy from the boot on the shifter (and mine is cracked and falling apart). So I ordered a new...

    What's kind of gas is best for my TO-30? I've been having trouble keeping the tank clean ever since it was rusted up pretty bad. I cleaned it out with Muriatic Acid, and it looked like new, but it gets flakey real quick, so I heard that a Radiator Shop can clean them out so I'm going to try...
