2305 engine needs to be rebuilt

Henri:

So glad to hear you'll have your tractor back soon, and sounds like you picked a great dealer.

Good of them to cover the bill. I would have flipped right out if I was you and they told you no. 300 hours is nothing for a diesel engine.

The nice thing about financing, had they said no to covering the cost, you just say ok keep the tractor I am defaulting the payments, it is now yours! That can change a lot of tunes pretty quick.

Well this is just great(sarcasm light "on". So there is a chance that by me operating my new tractor lightly (only short periods at 2500 rpm) during the break-in period, I may have glazed the cylinders? I give up.

Forgot to add in my last post that I'm glad JD is standing behind their tractor in this situation. Hope you have it back soon.:thumbsup:

What a strange coincidence, I just joined this forum today and I just happen to be reading this thread while my 2320 with 20 hours on it is in the garage "Idling" I have been "Babying" my "Mule" since I got it. I have been working it good but I always give it some time to idle. This is counter-intuitive, I would have thought during the "Break-In" period you would want to go easy. I just traded in a 4 year old 2305 that I also "Babied", but never had problems. The manual doesnt mention anything about "Break-In" period. I am confused.
