TC40D Rear Remote on a TC35D ??

[spencer200]

There is something funny going on here all the Class 3 rear remotes are the same TC35, TC40, TC45-standard or deluxe. They did chage the handles slightly on the new models DA's but we have found those kits still fit.

Sounds suspicious to me too but what can you do. Maybe they did not have the remote from the beginning or maybe the tech's know something we don't. Would be very interesting if one of you guys just happen to be at your own dealership & ask them the same question ????

I'm guessing the salesperson thought they could pull the second remote off another tractor with two remotes and put it on your tractor as the first remote; or they had a 2nd or 3rd remote available in stock, but not a 1st remote. The salesman tries to get the service guy to do this and he says "No go Joe". The first remote lists for $253, while the 2nd and 3rd remotes list for $213 (at least on the June 2002 price list). I'd also bet the salesman comes back and says that the "special order TC35D part" will be a little more than expected /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif, probably about $253 total! The Remote Kit #1 for all Class III Boomers is for the first single spool valve and includes the Rear Remote Control Valve (part #86554978) that is needed to mount the valve onto the hydraulic port from the pump. Subsequent Remote kits (#2 and #3) don't require another Rear Remote Control Valve, so these cost $40 less.



Edit later:

I think I sounded too cynical above. I just hope your relationship with your dealer is based on honesty - it really makes for a better long-term relationship.

Chris, I'm beginning to wonder what is on the TC40D? I someone added-on a custom attachment, maybe they had to modify the original remote valve. This is the only thing I can come up with that makes any sense to me. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
