Not sure If I'm in the right spot, but we'll see.
The dealer is quoting me 10-12 hours to break the tractor in half and tell me whats wrong at $70 an hour. He said the price would start climbing. Worst case scenario and it would be around $3500.
Which is different from the first dealer I took it too, who changed the oil and charged me two + hours for hydraulic oil change. He quoted me $5500 just to open up the rear end and start replacing items.
Anybody have experience with opening the rear end up and fixing this problem and how much? The three point hitch also is staying engaged at full lift, which I'm told you have to go by it to get to the differential lock.
He also told me my clutch was wearing out and the clutch pedal is out to it's limits, so I need a new clutch.
confused and worn out in Memphis, Tn.
Ordered the service manual today so will look through it and see if I can do this.
Any suggestions or comments appreciated, i think.
