Ok whats wrong with this pic

[Mike Costello]

What the hey?! Most warranty is calender not hrs. And it was loose not disconnected. Why do you assume the tach wasnt working? ... and if it wasnt, and does have more than shows on the clock that tends to substantiate the OPs claim of regular use which people have been assuming as a lie.

Because the obvious answer is it gives the owner of the tractor no ground to stand on and that coupled with his attitude speaks volumes.

Has anyone considered the fact that the owner may be a member on this forum, and is getting info to back up his claim. Also there is the fact that the dealer has stated what he will do and not do.

On a side note, do you realize that a brake drum will rust over a wet weekend just from condensation.

It is quite a 'world-wide-web'..
One thing I know, I'm not going to jlsmith for MY clutch job..:laughing:
Only kidding, it's a good example of a bad customer. (I think we've all had them..)

JJ--the clutch was so rusted together it had to be chisled apart and that didn't happen over the weekend. Well, maybe at Roswell or Area 51.
I think it's at post 58 or around there.

I totally agree about the rusted clutch. It is suspicious. Just one dunking in water would not do that unless the water was retained, or there was continuous moisture.

J_J, I think I was more than fair with the customer. If he does read this then that is ok. Most posters believe it was neglect on his part while a few others came up with some good points on how it could happen also. The tractor was out of warranty and it was MF's call on how to fix it at this point. I believe they did a fair deal in paying for the parts, they could have said NOPE, OUT OF WARRANTY SORRY, But they didnt they stepped up and is trying to help out. I know i did my part and i think the customer knows it to.

If your "so-called customer" hasn't figured out by now that you have done more than your part, then let Deere :laughing: have him and good riddance.

Forum member or not, he knows what has has done.

I think MF went above and beyond on this one by offering to pay for the parts even though it is out of warranty. That is something MF does I am told, which makes me feel even better abut my purchase. I think this dude was playing in salt water somewhere with this tractor. Could also be the Japanese who put it together screwed up like they did on mine.

Kinda what i was thinking but didnt want to open up another can of worms with this customer. Just glad im almost done with him and no it seems like he will be JD's problem. Sorry Deere:laughing:

I'll buy the first round when the divorce is final :laughing::laughing:.
