Problem with proprietary specific oils is a couple of decades later when it is no longer available and you need to reverse engineer why? Especially with hydraustatic tractors who share oil with hydraulics and hypoid differential set ups. Another example may be Kubota utd which has been around for decades but has no doubt had its formula changed over the last 30 years.
The original owner of the tractor should have sued the dealer for compensation for his loss. IMO
Kinda the same story with my hobby cars.dealer did not or won't fix them. The last one in the 70's was a broken distributor plate, told owner blown engine. Drove it for ten years.
How stupid can a service person be, not to read the manual, omg. This is why I stopped going to the dealer for anything when my car was still new. I have a mechanic that has been servicing my car and previous car over 15 years.
This story is complete BS blackened fluid and metal shavings in a transmission equals a complete rebuild at minimum and on a tractor 840 won't touch it.
Three Rubber O Rings on the SS line's from the transmission Houseing to the cutch House ing broken Rubber line's Note on Case International and John Deere
Of course he didn't sue. The dealer did not perform the service for him but the previous owner. HE might have sued for the loss he took when he sold it.
We had the same issues with John Deere. The dealer original owner was good but then he retired and his son took over. We trusted them to do the fixing and they did a terrible job. We came close to loosing everything because of John Deere. There is not one piece of JD equipment on our property.
I would have gone back and told the previous owner about this, he could have sued the dealer and been reimbursed.
He should have sued on behalf of the previous owner or given the papers for the previous owner to recoup his losses.
Great job 👏 👍
so glad the new owner followed his gut 🎉🎉🎉 😮.
That’s what a lot of dealerships do.
My Massey 135 is all I need.
$840 to overhaul a powershift transmission that had that much damage is not possible. The fluid wasn't the problem either. Basically all hydraulic oil is called trans hydraulic oil because your transmission and hydraulics use the same oil.
I heard that new J.D. equipment comes with a built in kill switch so you can't repair it yourself...is that true?
That’s the way John Deere would do things
So the parts cost 1-800 What would be the labor on network Way more than $800 probably around $30,000
The story might be true, but the photos displayed are AI. Notice how, even under the tractor the lighting is perfect? All photos have the subject perfectly centered, and the service records have very, VERY sharp printing. I’ve never seen a shop ticket with such intentional, finely formed printing. AI makes me sick. If you are going to use AI photos, please write a disclaimer. It would give more credence to the entire tale.
I doubt this story 100%. The fluid alone costs more than that, and if the pan was filled with metal shavings, SO WAS THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. I'm calling AI BULLSHIT.
