NC KS | Maybe I should relate my story when I seen that the light at the end of the tunnel wasn't green.
It was 1975 and we waited 8 months to get our first new Deere tractor. A 4430. Rearend locked up at 1500 hours. Warranty took care of it and dealer claimed that engine had too much power (factory settings on engine). 3000 hours and the rear end locks up again. Dealer says same thing, we pay for it. Tractor went to lighter uses that didn't require full horsepower. In same time period, tractor would overheat in Kansas summers. Dealer has same answer, too much horsepower.
I started to see the light when I got married in 79. FIL had Allis tractors of same horsepower as 4430. Guess what, rearends were twice the size of deere's, must have been directly related to failure rates. Local dealer for them was willing and able to work right beside you to get problems resolved instead of pointing fingers towards smoking guns and flimsy excuses.
And that is all I am going to say about that! | |
