New Holland TC27D Common Problems This Manual Covers
New Holland TC27D engine cranks slowly or refuses to start on cold mornings
Test the battery first; it must deliver 420 amps of cold cranking power at -18°C (0°F), the spec listed on page 54. Verify the transmission is in neutral and the PTO is disengaged so the safety switch closes. Drain water and sediment from the fuel filter bowl, a 50 hour service item covered on page 57.
Manual Section: Controls, Instruments and Operation p. 54Temperature gauge needle climbing into the red zone during heavy loader work
Check the temperature gauge often; if the needle reaches the red, stop the engine immediately and investigate, per the warning on page 28. Once the system cools, verify coolant level; the cap holds 0.9 bar, so never open it hot. Adjust fan belt tension until it deflects 10-15 mm under thumb pressure, following page 64.
Manual Section: Adjust Fan Belt Tension p. 64Three-point hitch raises slowly or drops back down under load with an implement attached
Check the transmission, rear axle, and hydraulic oil level, a 50 hour item shown on page 53; the shared reservoir feeds the lift pump. If the level is low, fill it and inspect hose fittings for leaks. Replace the hydraulic filter at 300 hour intervals per page 66; a plugged element starves the 27 litres/min pump.
Manual Section: Lubrication and Maintenance p. 53Engine gradually loses power and blows black exhaust smoke when working under sustained load
Check the air cleaner daily, a 10 hour service item noted on page 73. Clean the primary element every 100 hours per page 60, and replace the inner safety element every third primary change or after 1000 hours as directed on page 76. Drain the fuel filter bowl and check for water before suspecting injectors.
Manual Section: Lubrication and Maintenance p. 60Clutch pedal travel feels wrong and the transmission grinds when shifting between gears
Measure clutch pedal free travel and maintain it at 19-30 mm (0.75-1.18 in.), the range specified on page 55. Too little free travel makes the clutch slip; too much prevents full release and causes gear grinding. Check the adjustment every 50 hours along with the clutch housing oil level during routine service.
Manual Section: Lubrication and Maintenance p. 55Frequently Asked Questions
What are the torque specifications for the New Holland TC27D injector line fittings?
For the New Holland TC27D, the injector line fittings at the injection pump and injectors should be tightened to 80 Nm (60 lbf. ft.). Additionally, the leak-off line nuts should be tightened to 39 Nm (29 lbf. ft.) after installation. p. 71
What do the New Holland TC27D dashboard warning lights indicate?
The New Holland TC27D instrument panel includes several warning lights. The Battery Charge Warning Light illuminates if the charging system is not operating normally. The Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light indicates insufficient oil pressure. The Cold Starting Indicator Light shows when glow plugs are heating precombustion chambers. The PTO On Indicator illuminates when either the rear or mid PTO is engaged, and the Rear PTO Speed indicator lights green at 540 RPM or red at 600 RPM or above. p. 27
How do you bleed the fuel system on a New Holland TC27D?
To bleed the fuel system on the New Holland TC27D, first ensure the fuel tank has adequate fuel and the fuel shut-off valve is open. Then, open the bleed screw at the pump, closing it once air-free fuel flows. Finally, push the hand throttle to the high speed position and turn the engine over for a few seconds to bleed the high pressure fuel tubes. p. 61
What are the replacement specifications for engine oil and filters on the New Holland TC27D?
The engine oil and filter should be changed after the first 50 hours of operation, and then every 100 hours thereafter. The approximate fluid capacity for the engine with a filter change is 4.5 litres (7.9 Imp. pints). Recommended engine oils include Ambra Super Gold (SAE 15W40) NH 330 G or Ambra Super Gold (SAE 10W30) NH 324 G, depending on ambient temperature. p. 59
What are the replacement specifications for hydraulic fluid and filters on the New Holland TC27D?
The hydraulic system oil and filter should be changed after the first 50 hours of operation, and then every 300 hours thereafter. The approximate fluid capacity for the transmission, rear axle, and hydraulic system is 22 litres (4.8 Imp. gals.). The recommended hydraulic fluid is Ambra Multi G (SAE 10W30) NH 410 B. p. 67
