L4400 axle housing update

[N80]

Glad to hear everything worked out. Wow! Four grand. That is nearly 1/4 the price of the tractor!

I'm sure it was a freak thing but it sure does make me worry about my own L4400. Its a fairly new model so any strange defects might just be emerging. On the other hand, there is nothing so new about this model in terms of design. So hopefully no hidden flaws. Couldn't be happier with mine right now and its been worked hard. Here's to many years of trouble free use for both of us.

Thanks George,I don't think you'll have anything to worry about.It shure does sound alot smoother this go around,must have been a defective bearing from the factory.I still think we made a good choice and hopefully we'll get years of trouble free service out of our tractors.Only thing I wished I had different is a cab with A.C. this South Arkansas sun is hot.

Well I picked my tractor up thursday and every thing seems to be in good order,It was ready a week earlier but when I made the 35 mile trip to pick it up it was leaking oil and had to be torn down agian.The mechanic said it would have cost me around $4000 had it not been under warranty. I have put 4 hours on it bushhogging and breaking my arena and sounds alot smoother than it did before the housing busted.(must have been a bad bearing)

Wow, 4K !!! I think it was just a freak accident, never to happen again. Enjoy the machine.
