Waiting for accessories?

crazylare1 · Feb 17, 2006

Hey there gates, Ya I went through the same thing, I ordered my tractor in oct. got it on dec 12th (I think) and then when all of the accessories came in, they came and got it on jan. 27th, and then I got it back on feb. 10th, the hold up........waiting on the power beyond kit!! Of all things that the factory or warehouse shouldn't be out of, you would think that something that is so commonly ordered on lots and lots of tractors wouldn't be a back order item. The parts came in on jan 27th, but because my right side tire was hitting the steering cylinder I then had to wait for the additional week and a half for a new rim......a rim mind you! So ya I feel your pain. It'll get better though, I missed my tractor so much while it was away, I'm absolutly sure that I purchased the right tractor for me....lol. My girlfriend said that she is going to paint herself green and yellow and then have a deere emblem tatoo'd on her behind so that I'll spend more time with her....not sure what she meant by that......but ok...now to get her to purrr like my diesel /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif. Be patient, good things come to those who wait. Have a great weekend guys!

Yeah, not totally uncommon. In my case, my loader has showed up already but the tractor won't be in for another 6 weeks or so. I'm sure the deck will arrive long before the tractor as well... it's starting to feel like a loooong wait. I'm trying to wait patiently /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Crazylare1,
Talked to my dealer yesterday, everything is in except for the 4th & 5th SCV diverter kit. He tells me the kit will not ship until March 21 2006. So basically another month. I am with you on the girlfriend paint job, I wonder if that would be considered an air ride seat!! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gifLOL

Hey there Ron, I'm thinking that the idea of an "air ride seat" might not work. I would lose the peaceful enjoyment of being on my tractor. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Although it was her idea to build a new pole building in the spring to put the tractor and equipment in, after her son got the garage door with the rops up late yesterday afternoon. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif. You'll be in total happyness when your new baby does finally arrive, and then the long wait will be worth it, but ya the wait can seem so long at times.

You might want to double check with the dealer that he knows the front hook to the mmm must be offset, and not the standard that comes with it to fit a fel.. , they are different. Mine found that out and again another long wait. Said they could move the support to my brush guard and I'de never notice it. Told them I would and they'de be buying another guard at their expence. Just something to watch. I expect to get what I paid a good price for and expect the same from JD and the dealer.
