OK maybe sorta hijacking, (and I did post in another thread about a week ago), but has ANYONE checked the rubber boot on the input shaft of your hydrostatic pump (by the fan)? In addition to my tie rod end boots being rotten, I was under the tractor (BX1870) for the first time last week and noticed that the boot on the driveshaft is rotten as well. BTW I purchased this tractor new in August 13. My dealer said to bring it over, they'd replace 'em...
So, later in the month or the first part of July, when things have slowed down a bit (at dealer), we'll see....
Thanks
