The tractor has 20 hrs on it, or you've put 20 hrs on it since you got it? We are confused on the warranty issue. I'm impressed with your attitude.

If the service bulletin was dated before the warranty lapsed, you could probably insist the dealer or Deere covers it. I do think the Dealer should have, just for good customer relations.
However, 40 bucks isn't going to break the bank...goochy just needs to determine how much effort he wants to put into getting his money back.

I am curious as this should have been addressed by the prior owner, but $40 bucks to fix it and Goochy can continue with his projects seems the easy way to go imo.

Just curious why the service bulletin wouldn't cover non warranty units? I'd think any dealer worth his salt would be happy to make it right.

Warranty only covers a certain number of hours and a fixed period of time. If a machine has 25 hours on it, but is 5 years old, it is out of warranty. Suppose a customer comes in at this time and says he has had a problem "since new". The manufacturer would not be willing to cover this failure. The dealer should not have to eat it. The owner has a responsibility to report problems in a timely manner. You would be surprised how often we hear similar stories.
I see the 3x20 series on that. I wonder if I should get the parts even though I'm not seeing hydro leaking? I'm still under warranty.

Yes, I would like to see how your dealer handles this.
If I had bought tractor new , it would be fixed . but I got it USED , so ............. I am just happy he lowerd the price . Most dealers wanted $50-$60 . I had 3 different dealers tell me " Service Notices ONLY help dealers fix the problem quick " Its a guide , of what might be the cure to fix it . 3 dealers said NO to JD fixing it on a 2008 model
I think what's going on here might be the 'you didn't buy it here' attitude. I think if your dealer gave you a discount than you should be happy. I'll bet if you bought the tractor new and this just showed up after all these years you find the dealer you bought it from having a different attitude.
I blew a shaft on a tractor that was out of warranty and my dealer made good on it with an improved shaft which means JD knew about it, just like your leak. The difference was that I bought the tractor new from him.

Goochy,
It is possible that this is the reason the tractor was traded in to start with. Your showing up armed with the proper information to repair the problem may have been a suprize to the dealer. Years ago I bought a Deere 4020 at a firesale price because the mechanic had missed an inline filter to the hydraulic pump.
I would put the retrofit vent kit on it and call it good. That gets you back to operating the new tractor and having fun.
