273 went BANG

[CDR]

The parts were supposed to be here today. None of the needed parts are in the parts book or dealers web page any more. My dealer called faxed and emailed for days. TYM sent the wrong parts once, they sent an output shaft and related parts. The mechanic finally got a supervisor on the phone that knew what we needed.

The labor cost has me worried a little but what choice do you have.

Well after being jerked around by TYM for weeks they say they don't service the needed parts(input shaft etc.). They say they are shipping a whole new HST out tomorrow morning. I'm not holding my breath.

Good thing I wasn't holding my breath. Let's reverse course again. Someone at TYM realized this was a warranty job, suddenly they aren't shipping a whole new unit, they found the input shaft and related parts and will be shipping them out. Maybe by spring I will have a working tractor back to trade in on something of a different color.

wish I could afford a different color.nobody wants to trade fair except TYM dealer.told him NO!!some places won't even take it,was told it would "junk up" their lot.

Well paint it pink and put a mahindra sticker on it. Since TYM makes the 10 series for mahindra. It seems that the smaller TYM's had some design problems. Drive shafts and weak frames. The larger ones seem to handle abuse better

As of last evening the bearing and seals were going in. Hopefully in a day or so I will have my tractor back.

I brought the tractor home last night. I'm going to check it over tonight making sure everything is tight and no leaks. hopefully I will get to use it the next couple of evenings and this weekend and make sure it is ok.
