I'd have loved to have had the option !!!!!! I would've gotten a larger tractor too !!! Temps are dropping it's 21 feels like 11 but still would love to be in the seat again, put 80 hrs on in about 3-4mths working 60-70 hrs a week at work too !Sounds like LS is stepping up and taking care of the problem, as they should, and that is great. But why not just give the OP a brand new tractor. I mean come on, yanking an engine out of a new unit (IF that is what they did) to fix his tractor, with 80hrs on the clock, seems odd to me. Give him a new unit. He will be a happy and loyal customer touting the virtues of LS. Then again, what do I know. I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
