 West Central IL | They all have problems. Had 2 fan drives replaced on Deere 9.0L engines. Lack of maintenance. Funny, didn't say anything about maintenance in the owners manual. Had a Versatile 400 PTO ujoint fly apart at under 400 hours. No mention of grease zerks in the owners manual, it was also under a shield, all other ujoints on the tractor are sealed. I so happened to find it after about 100 hours, and greased it frequently. When it let go, it hardly had any grease out to the joints. I would say it wasn't greased when it was assembled. Charged $200 and the tractor was/is still under warranty. |
