dealership nightmare

[CBW1999]

My point in stating "troll" was to alert members into the possibility and not get sucked into the great abyss. More than once have "new members" on their first post started controversial discussion to "stir the pot".

It is always interesting that the first post is about a controversial topic that no doubt would illicit an emotional response from the membership. In this example, 50 total posts and only2 are from the OP. The sixth reply (from another member) was the first asking for clarification. the next several came in what I consider normal type responses for something unclear. It wasn't till around post 14 that the OP states something about "not dignifying that with an answer" (wasn't clear to me who he was responding to).

So, now we are up to 50 posts. The discussion has wandered topic to topic and back again.

Final points:
Op made statements that generated responses he didn't like (as he indicated). No need to respond as he did, wasn't productive why didn't he just wait to see what useful info comes up. Its like openly asking a question in a bar. everyone might have something to say but you don't always respond to what you don't like to hear. You shouldn't be shocked or astonished that people have different opinions either. You don't ask this question and then go running out the door after the first person questions or responds negatively.

The Op clearly suggests that the dealership has committed acts from unethical to illegal- hence placing a label of "dishonest" on them. Is that fair? Even though he didn't mention the name, I see no difference. Some people are able to figure out who is being discussed.

I made my statement based on actions, not who he is. It is not "throwing sand".

Well, now the OP is going to punish us by taking his toys and going home.

Don't think you'll ever see another reply from the OP again;

Yea, I had to leave the Kubota forum and go to Friendly Politics just to be treated "Friendly."

Iwas called names by people who dont know me and called a liar and thief and slanderer. Seems even tho i didnt name the dealer and there are 5 within 40 miles of me . the site boys claimed everyone knew who i was talking about! I have contacted the CC about withdrawing payment until this is settled. I have to have new dealer write on letterhead what he found. So far, bugs and trash in oil, loose drain plugs, clutch seems ro be installed properly, checking brakes now to see (if like my 3 pt hitch ,backwards, and fender bolts 3 0f 4 left out) if installed properly. I didnt know the oil didnt meet Kubota specs until i had paid bill was goin to load tractor and the 3 pt was wrong and fender bolts missin. Of course by then no refund was coming to me. I agreed to generic fluid but assumed a franchised dealer would at least buy a approved aftermarket fluid. Not these guys,approved for IHC ford new holland white massey cat etc but not Kubota. Seems like every cust. should be entitled to compensation. Off spec oil wont kill a tractor in 30 days but in 5 yrs I would had a L2350 with good eng, good sheet metal, good clutch and a burned out trans. Salvage piece worth about 500$. Didnt mean to write War and Peace. Dan

In your original post you stated that you witnessed a mechanic pouring the non-spec oil.:confused3:

Dan im sorry your time here was not what you were expecting I think some people jumped the gun before knowing the whole story. Maybe if u explained a little better people would have understood what u were saying. Any how hope all goes good with ur tractor and u can get back to doing what u need to do. Best of luck.

You are kidding right??? Approved for all those manufactures but not Kubota! The shame, the shame.

You did say aftermarket fluids right???

And if you knew anything about fluids, you would know that they are selected/engineered by application, not manufacture.

Trash in the oil? Bugs???

Maybe they used fryer oil???

You story just keeps getting fishier every time you post.

IMO...(and I have administrated message boards since the dial-up BB days (years before the WWW) In this and related threads YOU are the "troll" (if there is one)...no animosity or anything personal...just my own observation...
