Well Folks, Not sure what to think. I just went to the dealer and put the tractor through some paces. Service manager almost had me convinced that the tractor had to be split. He said the shaft coming out of the Trans was not turning the the hydro. pump and Hoe wouldn't swing and 3pth would not work. I started the tractor and the hoe swung. Went in and told the service manager and he said, no the hoe won't dig (not what he said over the phone). Well we went back out and I Showed him that it would swing and the boom and dipper and bucket worked just fine. We unplug the hoe and the 3pth worked just fine. They will have it all back together next week. Are they just incompetent or were they going to take me for a ride? They would have made a lot of $$ on splitting a M59 to replace a 50-100 $ part. It was a collar that connects to drive splines. They claim they have done this before a few times.
