5264D Help, thumping noise while driving

[Mlawson]

Still no parts, having to pay to mow my 3 acres of ground is getting expensive and still have 2 ac that I just let go. Maybe i can use this in the negoiations on the labor bill, as the dealer has not worked on this model before and is already over 20hrs just to get it apart and diagnos the problem. I just want my tractor back!!!!!!!

Finally got it back after almost 8 weeks, Cub picked up all the parts and part of the labor, still cost me $1200 in labor charges since this dealer had never worked on one of these before. Cub also had them replace some other parts while they had it all apart and I do appreciate that. Hopefully no more issues for a long time, going to baby her just in case.

Wow.
I had an issue also.
After they fixed the machine, the REPLACEMENT gears sheared off after 3 hours using the FEL & box scraper!!!
The dealer came out the next business day and tore it down again. Cub paid the whole bill, again.
It's running fine now. LOL.
BTW, do you have any interest in my 60" MMD?
I'm getting a 54" PTO finishing mower.
(I hate pulling the deck to do earthwork)

I already have the mower deck but thanks anyway. Sorry to hear about your troubles, the dealer mechanic told me that he was speaking to another dealer and said these models are very touchy and have quite a few problems. but most of them seem to be the 4WD units not the 2 wheel drive for some reason. I plan on babying it from now on, can't afford another $1,200 bill.
