Bobcat ct235, 410 hours. Pushing fallen trees, branch hits oil filter, breaks seal. Don't notice oil pressure light until engine is shot. New engine required. Bobcat engine "not available". Put in Kioti engine. Pick up tractor, Glow plug light in dash doesn't work. Tell service. They look, say glow plugs working, Bulb burned out. Take tractor home, Check dash, bulb good. Call dealer, they tell me to F off (I am paraphrasing) they didn't touch the dash. I work 4 hours tracing wires. Find the wire to glow plug light is actually spliced in the harness to the Power wire to the glow plugs. When they pulled the wire to hook up glow plug, they pulled apart the connection in the wiring harness.
How would you guys approach the dealer? How many of you guys would actually take the wires out of the wiring harness to find a weird connection pulled apart in the harness? I am grouchy, Why do I need to troubleshoot the mechanics errors? Oh $8000 for a new 35 hp Kioti engine in a Bobcat Ct235.
