Tractor Supply orange tractor paint is a pretty close match to Thomas orange and is readily available in quarts, gallons and rattle cans.

Sure sounds like a faulty switch. Try hot wiring it with small bridge wire on the connector Plug on the machine side

In retrospect, this could likely be done by simply removing the 2 star screws on the hinge closest to the gas strut freeing the hinge. That would have made the whole thing about a 2 minute job.

It is fixed. I have again been amazed by my ineptitude and failure to follow the Kiss principle first. Removing the lap bar is as simple as disconnecting one electric fitting and 4 #30 star bolts. With the bar loose the gas strut snaps on with no compression (or tools) at all. Simple reinstall...

I like the ratchet strap idea and I'm going to give it a shot when I find a good strap. Thank you for the idea I saw a YouTube on a bigger strut where they used a pipe clamp and bailing wire to hold it compressed. I tried that a few times but I can't keep it compressed enough when I release the...

So, I bought a new gas strut for the seat bar.and of course it was faulty (way to weak). I sent it back and got another. This time it is so strong I can't compress it probably 3/8" enough to get it on both ball ends even in the full up bar position. It's in such an awkward place that I can't get...

That's just shipping. All in $137. I looked at some remans and they wanted the same as new pricing and 50+ shipping What gives with everyone wanting 50+ on shipping an under 1# item? The times they are a changin.

I ordered one from Southeastern equipment with shipping under $16. Thanks for the leads.

Part # is 48141084 Messick shipping is $47.63, Hope to do better but thank you for the lead.

My fuel sender on a 2018 TR270 (48141084) is not functioning. My local case dealer says they don't have one and can only get one delivered for $100 delivery fee plus the $130+ part itself. I've searched the web and can't seem to find one without paying a substantial upcharge fee. Any leads? Or...

I don't see where it comes off. But at least I found it and I suspect I need a new one. Thanks for responding.

That was it. Insufficient flow

My 2018 TR270 brake bar keeps falling down when I raise it. It's annoying and I now have to bungee it up. Apparently, whatever is supposed to hold it up has failed. Does anyone have experience or knowledge on fixing this?

Is it possible that I just do not have sufficient hydraulic flow to actuate the system . I tried to mount it on my Thomas wheeled 153S but note that it only pumps 8gpm with 2450 psi. I also have a Case Tr270 that pumps near 25gpm at 3050. It's a big job to make the switch, but if consensus is...
