Got a call from a friend to whom I loaned my 4100/410 loader so he could clean up his place for an upcoming wedding.
Seems he loaded up some logs and was backing up a slight hill----until the ring and pinion gears in the front end gave out, he figured the front wheels were doing most/all of the driving as the rear end was probably lighter than it should have been without ballast.
It is at a good John Deere dealers shop and will be done next week.
Should I offer to split the cost as some normal wear and tear would have been done thru normal usage (tractor has less than 300 hours on it) prior to him borrowing the tractor.
Has anyone been thru this and know what those gears run for price plus labor?
I need to talk to the dealer as he did mention something about a rear axle seal leaking also so I probably will have that fixed while its in the shop.
