Just talked to the dealer. It isn't in the shop right now because they are painting, but they believe it is more of an electrical problem with the diverter. He said it's all up to finding the bad wire/connection now. Hopefully they can get it fixed soon!

I didn't update this thread since I'd last talked to the dealer, so I thought I should now. I'd been on the road traveling toward the end of last week but thursday the dealer called and said it was a valve in the diverter and would be costing me $852. Didn't like it one bit, but at least it should be done soon.

It wouldn't be a used backhoe if it didn't sting your wallet every now and then. I think you're getting off easy if it's under a grand!

Even with that. your still ahead with what you paid for that 110.

Your telling me! There's a price we must pay for being cheap and not getting a new machine with a warranty:laughing:

I keep thinking about that too. I'm thinking $852 sucks, but I feel that the $852 bucks is made up on the other end.

I just can't wait to get it back and finally do some real playing with it!!:thumbsup:

Martian,
Glad you finally got to the bottom of this, time to start using this machine. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Thanks Steve,

I'm sure I will. From the little I got to use of it before it went back it was great. I was using the 5410 to pull out some chain link fence posts out and just kept wishing I was using the new 110!

I bet you're still coming out ahead with your used one though. Heck, if you bought new and put some years/hours on it, you'd be in the same boat, plus you would have swallowed all the depreciation!

Your probably right, there's just nothing like a brand new machine, but by no means am I complaining. I just cant stand thins wait any longer!

Martian,

Glad to hear that the problem has been identified and fixed. Did they rebuild the diverter valve or just replace it?

I wouldn't think that rebuilding the valve would be that expensive - but, the labor to pull everything apart and put everything back together; lines, etc. would be!

Be home this week?

They are replacing, not rebuilding. I posted the same thing on GTT and the same question was brought up, and resulted in the same answer you gave. Might be cheaper for us to rebuild, but after shop hours and the reliability now being on the shop to produce a 'like new' part, they'd rather replace.

Should be home this week, if they can get the part in and replaced. As you probably know as well as I do by now, they don't move super fast as they have had the tractor more than I have at this point!

Hopefully it will be home shortly and can finally get some use out of it:thumbsup:

Martian, be sure to get the faulty valve back from them.

I'm asking about that tomorrow, Ken (Kennyd now on GTT) called dibs on it though:thumbsup:

Zebrafive · Apr 8, 2012

Bet there is NOT a faulty valve to get back, Just a bunch of parts if they rebuilt the valve.

What is GTT?

They did order a new valve, so there should be something, maybe I'm wrong. I'll find out tomorrow for sure.

GTT is Green Tractor Talk, formerly Deere Talk.

There should be a valve returned.. It's just a machined, mono-block of aluminum with O-ringed inserts.

Hard to say what's wrong with it. Be interested to know.. maybe some foreign material, O-ring ka-blooey. Worse thing would be a chunk of harder metal lodged in there and scoring or gouging the mono-block.

If the gouge was bad enough - block might just be a desk ornament!

Martian, I get the vibe your dealer isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. There is so little to the valve assembly(as AK suggested) that it would definatly be cheaper to repair it. However, I would have likely replaced it with a new one if I wasn't able to repair/replace it myself. Without a doubt get the old one back.

Zebrafive · Apr 9, 2012

I too thought just a rebuild was in order, but did not know it was made of aluminum. I would have thought it would be cast iron. I also thought hunks of O-Ring causing the trouble and most of the cost quoted was labor charge to R & R, then rebuild. I'll have to check the valve price on JDparts. Quote seems to low for a new valve installed.

Let us know what failed and pictures if possible. Hard to believe on such a low hour machine.

I never did buy the "electrical wire/connector" diagnoisis.
