Joel,
I wasn't implying that and I just thought some harsh words might get the ball rolling. I find it hard to believe that this isn't already taken care of. I know I get busy too and sometimes put some issues off, but when a customer is down I do what I have to do to get it done.

Good I'm glad you weren't implying that. The better half talked to someone at the dealership today and they told her that their mechanic had quit. Supposed to be a new one starting Monday. They also said the parts to fix it are there. Just a bit behind.

Gee, I was always taught if you can't follow thru on a promise that you make you let the other party know what's happening and ask for an extension and forgiveness. Time must have changed somewhere since yesterday....BobG in VA

No actually I can see nothing wrong. No pits. No contamination. It has me puzzled. All bright and shiny like it all just broke at once. No evidence of a crack or anything.

There may have been a microscopic stress crack that formed when the part was originally cast. Over time, the crack propogates outwards until it fails. Years ago, something similar happened to a steering knuckle from an old chevy pickup I used to own. Not a fun feeling when you are driving along and the steering stops responding.

Oh and btw... I HAVE now seen the 8560 cab with a loader. I even have a pic of the valve mounting on my phone....

I'm sorry, but I don't understand, why would you want the valve mounted on your phone?

Do you just like the way it looks, trying to build muscle?

I would have hoped that you could have posted a few pics of this new machine, but I suppose that your not supposed to do those sort of things.

Good to see you back.

Brain,
It must be a Kansas thing!

We should give Jeremy a break. He has had his hands full lately.

He has actually moved on to his THIRD tractor forum now. I have not heard from him in several months.

I did not have a REAL camera with me. Lots of pics were taken by others though.

Jeremy,
Where was the 8560 when you took a camera phone snapshot?
