J.D. SCV Parts

[joecdeere]

Island man, Deere doen't service the oad checks, we have had to replace some under warranty and you had to get the complete valve. I may can find you a check, but they used two different ones, one had a flat "wafer" and a spring, and the other was a poppet and spring. Yoou'll have to clean off the top of the valve and carefully remove one to know which you have. Let me know and I'll dig. Joe

Hallelujah. I e-mailed John Deere Customer Service last week following MadReferee's advice. Laurie with JDCS contacted me by phone and said she could not find the parts listed anywhere. She did not stop there, she has worked on my SCV problem since and kept me informed. She had to go to the engineering department and backtrack from there. Today she called me with the SCV poppet replacement kit part number. AM100201. I called my dealer, he typed in the number and sure enough it came up as the right parts. They will be here in the morning. I take back most of the mean thoughts I have been thinking about John Deere's parts service and want to say their customer service rep. Laurie shines. I want to thank everyone for their input. I really want to thank joecdeere. He has to be a great guy to offer to dig me out the used parts. Members like Joe makes a site like this the best.

How much was that part kit? $20? I would tell the owner/manager at your dealership that their lack of effort almost cost you $580.

She truly did well, your parts man did the same thing I did, went to the dual SCV which doesn't show a check kit, however the single valve does, I'm glad the engineers told her it was the same because Deere usally isn't smart enough to use the same type valve in both applications. Let us know it works, and I'll try to file it away for the next one that need to know. Don't be too hard on the parts guy, the 4000 series parts book is the worst written in Deere history, we finally thew ours out and only looked parts online for years

I don't blame my dealer at all. I believe they did everything they could to find the part but was handicapped by limited access to information. I went to three different dealers (Pensacola Fl., Jay, Fl., Atmore Alabama.) and they all said the same thing about no parts breakdown. The kit is $28.50. I wonder how many people paid almost $600 plus labor when all they needed to spend is $30 just because the book or computer don't have it listed? My 1998 4600 has over 1,300 hours with very few problems and all have been small. Even this problem was an easy cheap fix just finding the part was an ordeal.

Update: The parts are installed and the 4600 is alive and well. Gave it a full workout moving brushpiles to the burn area without a bit of problem.

Did you have to use 4WD?

Just joking, about another thread

Glad to hear you got the cheap fix
