The piece of metal looks like part of the speed range shifting fork. Since your tractor is a HST unit, please lightly press the forward and reverse pedals to change speed ranges. This helps line up the gears and shift collar to make shifting easier. Usually speed range change is difficult on all TYM tractors. Using this method, I doubt you will have any other problems. It is best you inform your dealer and have them pull the shift tower off the side of the transmission or drop a fiberscope in the transmission. Good video.
You are 100% correct sir! I broke my shift fork in one day because it wouldn't shift easy from Medium to Low gear. Wish my dealer would've told me the trick about pressing forward and reverse pedals slightly to align the gears. I was without my new tractor for a few months until the part came in to fix it. Other than the cumbersome shifting shift, TYM is golden.
You did great on this vid. Man those filters were on way too tight! Some folks would slam cleaning the air filters but most do just like you at least a few times before buying new. I just got my 494 HST last week. I plan to treat it right like you do. I am in NW Louisiana, Shreveport.
It's amazing how tight some people put filters on there is no reason for that whatsoever. I hope you enjoy your tractor keep me updated on how you like it
I will likely be getting a t494 mid 2024 and one of my first things to udgrade will be adding / building a skid plate for that fuel cell. Now that I see this I know I’ll need to think about that filter while building it.
sorry NX not NW. my starfish still puckers when i think about that pumpkin i sent back! kioti is an awesome machine but the NX has a major tranny issue.its hard to beat the TYM for the price. plus the GOLDEN DEERE and them there KUBOTERS cant beat the loader lift capacity of the TYM at any price! id say deere and kuboters best days have passed. well its time to get them there flower beds ready for the left handed pepper plants on the back 40 . thanks for the info on the 494
Thanks for the great content! I will definitely refer to this video when I go to do my own 50hr service. I take delivery of the exact same tractor in a couple weeks. Did you ever figure out what that chunk of metal was? I am curious to how dealers/TYM have handled issues and if it is done in a timely manor. Cheers!!!
Thank you for you appreciation I hope it helps you won't be disappointed with your tractor I love mine just waiting to get time off from my day job to go to the dealer with the piece to get an update
So what's the verdict on the shifter fork fork repair? TYM is on the short list of possibilities for my next / bigger tractor for heavier work and some forestry use. I understand the quality of tractor dealership you work with is generally more important than the color of the paint, and your dealer's handling of this issue might give us some idea how TYM handles service issues.
I don't alot of guys do I just follow the hours schedule for the machine in the book. Only having a few machines I keep track of them mentally. it's definitely a good idea to do so.
I am curious, what kind of hydraulic fluid do you use? Is that the same as the front axle fluid or different? Also, are you supposed to do anything with fuel filters? If not for now, will you do a video on them as well when it is time?
you picked the most problem free machine. mech. fuel inj. the least computers in the industry and natural asp. (no turbo. ) quiet engine also. great pick ,i have 9 hours on mine. i will ck for update on spare parts in tranny. will they blow you off or wait a week or 8 years for the issue to show?
I absolutely love the simplicity of the machine it was the selling point for me as well. My dealer is eager to solve the issue actually the hold up is me the tractor is at another property of mine in a different state I have to go get it when I have a weekend off from work and bring it back for them to fix so they are waiting on me actually and said it'll be a priority job when it comes in
That's tough and becoming more and more prevalent unfortunately. The biggest part of a tractor purchase is the dealer relationship your purchasing as well. I have nothing but great things to say about my dealer. Also maybe time to invest in a few tools and start servicing your own machine to lessen downtime
Having trouble on my end trying to find the correct filters for this 50hr service would you have those part numbers? Thanks for the video it definitely helped
I believe this time I used car quest premium hydraulic oil. I buy what brand my local auto parts store has at the time. Just needs to be the better grade. The easiest way to tell is if it's the better oil is if it says it's Kubota UDT compatible fluid.
Your part looks like a lip off of a casting that was cut off during normal assembly, but got left in the transmission case by accident. Shouldn't have caused any issues.
The manufacturer recommends 10w/40 or 10w/30 for the engine oil I was a bit confused by that all of the diesels I have ever owned shell Rotella 15w/40 was always suitable TYM seemed adamant not to use it

It was indeed a shift fork end that broke off dealer made repairs to it

@hasan7865 this method makes range changes very easy for sure
Nice video, great tip regarding how to hold the bucket for pouring hydraulic oil into the tractor, thank you.
Thank you I always appreciate old timer advice and try to pass it along.

Thanks for the info!
Great job! Thanks.
Did the dealer identify what the part was and make it right?
When dealing with npt plugs it is good habit to just use pipe dope. Tape can dissolve and tear inside the system causing issues.
a little dope on your pipe always makes your tractor adventure more enjoyable

Dealer is thinking might be shift fork tip I'm going to take it in for an inspection

Nice video, that metal piece looks like a piece of a shifter fork, hope it's not as they can be a bear to replace.
Do you mark the filter with hours and date?
I don't alot of guys do I just follow the hours schedule for the machine in the book. Only having a few machines I keep track of them mentally. it's definitely a good idea to do so.
I hope you provide an update on what that broken part came from - perhaps a shifter fork?
The part is in my pocket waiting for my day job to calm down so I can get to the dealer and talk to them I'll update as soon as I hear

@@theshanipaqman My dealer said to use 80w90 in the front axle & that matches my book. For trans fluid use TSC Premium Tractor Hydraulic Fluid.

You can keep your loader in the upright position when draining your hydro fluid?
Love my tym only thing took it to dealer for service over a month to get it done 😢

its a magnet on the drain plug to collect metal shavings.
It's dual purpose shift fork tip and metal shaving collector
Any change of getting a video on all the hidden grease points you have found?
When I get my tractor home I can make that video
Having trouble on my end trying to find the correct filters for this 50hr service would you have those part numbers? Thanks for the video it definitely helped
Let me look and see if I saved the numbers or not. I usually just call my dealer they are really good to deal with
What type and brand of Hydraulic oil did you use?
I believe this time I used car quest premium hydraulic oil. I buy what brand my local auto parts store has at the time. Just needs to be the better grade. The easiest way to tell is if it's the better oil is if it says it's Kubota UDT compatible fluid.
What Hydraulic fluid did you use? J20C or GL-4?
I'll have to look at the barrel next time I'm at the parts store I use Kubota udt compatible fluid is what I look for
Your part looks like a lip off of a casting that was cut off during normal assembly, but got left in the transmission case by accident. Shouldn't have caused any issues.
😊
Very possible. dealer thinks it may be a shift fork tip he wants me to bring it in to pull the inspection plates and look at the shift forks
The manufacturer recommends 10w/40 or 10w/30 for the engine oil I was a bit confused by that all of the diesels I have ever owned shell Rotella 15w/40 was always suitable TYM seemed adamant not to use it
I'll have to look into that thank you everything I've ever ran diesel took 15w40
Not the new diesels.. My 6.7 ltr Ford motors are 10w30. Tolerances are just to tight to account for the emissions trash...
is that one of your diff lock pins in your tranny???? did you step on diff lock while spinning wheel?
It was a tip of one of the range selection shift forks
part looks like a broken tip from one of your shift forks
Agreed, it's at the dealership now getting looked at
Hi , was that slug you found on your drain plug a magnetic 🧲 ??
No it was the end of one of the range selector shift forks
so what the fix/remedy? @@fredericksfarmandwoodwork4137
