Broke the new Deere

Maybe you could get them to mow the lawn when they bring it back.

Its always been very difficult to get into 4wd i just attributed that to new gears and tightness

Searcy- what's the status of the 4wd engagement now? Anything different since the rebuild?

 

[searcyfarms]

it seems to be better for whatever reason, maybe the shock of things getting jostled around as they didnt do anything to the trannie - unless with the pto being out of alignment/bad/was putting pressure on the shaft that comes out of the trannie which could cause pressure on the gears that engage the 4wd - hard for me to say since i dont know whats on the end of the shaft that goes into the trannie BUT it did seem better going into gear it was stiff coming out but i moved a lil to get teeth/mesh pressure off a couple times and it seemed better - its summer now so maybe some was oil stiffness vs cold winter oils - i called deere this morning they are coming after it and going to get it taken care of - it looks like an easy repair under there, some sort of gear drive assembly w/motor for lift so a few bolts/plug and such it should be ok.

I did run it down the road to try it out as well in H on the hydro and it seemed to be fine as well

Well nutz............that didnt last long, I went to back the deere/mower out of the shop today to move it out of the way and heard a klunk so stopped - here was a brass bushing and spacer sitting on the concrete floor i noticed the deck was ALL the way down hmmmmm - so l look under the tractor and the lift motor/gear assembly was busted I looked at the outside of the case of the lift motor and it appears it might have been whacked by the drive shaft when it came apart - i would guess it was fractured/cracked it looks like cast aluminum casing around the lift unit so back to the shop it will go - bummer

They should have cought that when they were working on it...

I hate it when techs have tunnel vision when they are working on something!

Makes you wonder about how fixed it really is.

 

[searcyfarms]

i kind of look at it this way, how many times have i tried to fix something and thought it was fixed only to find soon there after or maybe even not to soon i have the same issue again or its intermittent or something else gets stressed and then it goes - i am not surprised that it had another issue and wont be totally surprised if something else happens again related - you cant just tear an entire transmission apart just to look to see if something is a bit off especially if its not acting up or doing anything odd at the time of testing - at my age i have see a lot of peculiar things over the years, nothing is perfect and nothing is w/out failure - if you have that kind of expectation with anything mechanical/electrical/complicated you will be frustrated a good part of your life ;-) the most humbling machines i have ever been around are combines..........if you can tolerate/live with those you will be a lot more excited about something running a full day/week w/out any issues :laughing:

dealer called, seems like it got whacked by the pto like I thot and cracked the lift housing of the gear reduction lift mechanism - they replaced it and are dropping it off later today. they said the housing was cracked entirely all the way around - excited to get it back my wife and daughter are ready to mow!!!!

Glad your Dealer is making things right. You sure can't keep those Ladies waiting.

i have nothing but great things to say regarding my dealer - from the sales rep, svc mgr, svc admin who takes my calls, parts guys and the mechanics there - they have all been good to deal with as far as i am concerned, they did their jobs and were fair on my 2210 before I got this 2038R.
