I've got a 2003 DX40, FEL, with 285 hrs. I brought it to the dealer because the engine was making an intermittent ticking noise (very loud, though). Went down there after work today, and they said they found a bent push rod. I looked at it, and it had a couple of nicks in it, and wasn't noticably bent. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Hopefully the TC guys out there could chime in, too, since the machines are nearly identical.
What would cause this to happen? I don't consider myself to "abuse" it at all. It just gets used around my farmyard for light loader work and a little mowing. Of course the tractor is off warranty. The part is $6.00, but labor will likely be much, much more than that.
If anyone has had a similar problem, or can tell me what would cause this to happen, I'm all ears.
Thanks,
Sheepman
