New Holland Safety Recall

tractorman · Jan 29, 2005

The recall involves the replacement of a PTO stop plate and does not involve splitting the tractor. Repair time should be 1-2 hours according to CNH.

They are only sending recall notices to people who actually use their tractors.


Jim if I use it, I'll wear it out. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Since this is an externally applied part I'm wondering if those that are not mechanically challenged might be permitted to make the addition themselves., yes, no?

Pine,

Because this is a safety issue I am sure you have to be "qualified" Not saying your not qualified but I bet New Holland will say no. Just my opinion that is all.

Well! I finally qualify for something! I feel so er, lucky.

Got the notice just last night. Have model no. "TC35S4", Serial No. G5251xx.

I've run the punk out of the PTO on a 6 foot RC, and it runs smooth as butter. I sure hate to take it in and let them monkey with it and have it come back worse than it was. I'm tempted to take my chances with the "SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH" option.

( this is an externally applied part )
The stop plate is internal. The flat rate allowed is calculated with typical corporate optimism;most dealers will eat some time on this, including portoins of many pickups and deliveries. the time may be attainable by a proficient tech doing mulitple proceedures. I believe we have 12 to do which is probably less than 12 percent of the total Class III/IV tractors we have sold. Don't know much more than this right now. Looks like these campaigns will be done in the bay next to me, not in mine /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Rick......Do you know if this applies to the older model years ?? mine's a 2003 TC40D..........Thanks........Tom

I talked with my New Holland Dealer today and the service tech. told me they were going on site to make the repairs and they would need to pull the one rear wheel off and it would take about 1-2 hours to change the plate.

I don't have the info here so I can't check. I had better not say without being sure, I try very hard to post factual info here. Except on the oils & lube forum. Facts are not necessary there. If you are the original owner, NH does a very good job of notifying all owners within an identified group. I will try to post the serial number range next week.

Except on the oils & lube forum. Facts are not necessary there. I totally understand !! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif I have a friend who does his oil changes out in a dirt field.....Just lets the used oil run into the dirt..........claims he does'nt know what all this EPA fuss is all about........says we pumped the oil up from the ground..........He's just showing it the way back home !! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif (nature; the origional recycler !)
