Hi All:
I haven't posted in a while, we're in the middle of putting up our new house. My local dealer, from whom I did *not* buy my tractor, has come through for me in a big way on the battery corrosion problem. He picked up the tractor in October, went to bat for me with New Holland on the many parts that had been corroded by the battery, and installed a new radiator, battery table, cables, clamps, hold down bracket, and everything else that had been even minimally touched by corrosion - including the left front ball joint. When he picked it up, I handed him a 51R Yellow Top, and asked him to not replace the original battery with an OEM. He called me at the end of October when he was finished, and told me that he had driven past our new place and noticed construction going on. He offered to keep the tractor under roof for the winter. Last week, without prepayment, he had the tractor delivered to our place (still under construction - going well.) I went last Saturday to pay him and to say "Thanks!" in person. Total for all that work and storage? $182.37 - towing both ways.
I've written before to share some misery related to this tractor purchase, and I am thrilled to write and share some joy. I wish it wasn't a no-no to name dealers - this guy really delivers. Gary, (owner of dealership,) thanks so very much! I hope your son is still having a great time in his new position at NH Corporate!
