Powerstarâ„¢ Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I have recently came across a Powerfarm TW-35 in a fairly bad condition, and the motor doesn't work, i'm wondering if anyone can help me troubleshoot? I havn't had a look properly yet but i would rather have some idea of what i'm looking for before i start stripping the whole thing down. Hopefully it will be back to tip-top condition as soon as i've finished real life 2nd cut silage and have a bit of time. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 Well on my way now, motor works perfectly, got a new bonnet,wings,cab and everything, just wondering if it had a steering wheel, I know there was no steering rod connected to the wheels due to the battery but i wondered if there was just a steering wheel stuck there to look good? Most of the parts came from a donor 8730, just need to find some TW-35 onnet stickers now, will post some pictures if you chaps want to have a look?

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 All done now, got it back to a very good condition altough let down by two points. . Not original bonnet . No stering wheel I will post some pictures tonight if anyone is interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted September 24, 2005 Author Share Posted September 24, 2005 I know none of you asked for a picture, but i'm pleased with it so I'm afraid i'm going to show you it anyway Here it is, looking better now anyway! And with a fully charged re-chargeable battery for long nights out with the Howard rotor spreader Just need either TW-35 decals or a complete new bonnet. And steering wheel. And i have located a box off of a friend but only the outer packaging. I suppose it came in either a polystyrene case or plastic, most probably the plastic, might try and locate one of those and there you go, a new Powerfarm Any questions i would be happy to answer them, or you can E-mail them too me.

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted September 24, 2005 Author Share Posted September 24, 2005 It's off my Ford with floatations and the decals are wrong for the powerfarm. Does he do TW-35 bonnets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 he always has a few odds and sods arround so worth a try,even if it's of a 8630 you can change the decal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
