Hi all,

A quick introduction: I'm just getting into this tractor game and bought my first one, a GC1715 with FEL. It's a 2013 with 55 hrs on it (seriously), that has been kept outside so it needs a good wash and wax, but seems to run great. I'm already getting ready to do my 50-hour service on it this week (or at least change the oil and front axle fluid and hit the grease points).

It came with 2 implements, both practically brand new; a 4' box blade and Woods 4' rotary cutter. (I paid $8,000 for the whole setup - how did I do?)

Other than the introduction, my other reason for posting is: I need to replace a dust cover on the tie rod end; is there a better upgrade to replace these soft rubber things that is tougher?

Thanks,

Pete

That’s a good deal.. good luck with it, don’t know how anyone could leave a valuable machine out in the weather.

Very good deal! When you mentioned changing the oil it wasn’t clear (to me at least) whether you meant just the engine oil or also the tractor hydraulic fluid. Should change them both. Not sure about the best source for tie rod end dust cover, probably simpler to just get it from a dealer.

Nice tractor, good luck keeping the little guy off it. You'll probably choke when you get the price for the dust covers. Some rubber with zip ties, and periodic lubrication is all it needs. The dust covers do not last well. Mine have been torn for years, just keep it sprayed with fluid film.
