Blown Engine on the Box Store Tractor

[Robert_in_NY]

Thank you all for your feedback, I agree and disagree on many different levels. As I stated early my ***** has to do with a well maintained engine only lasting 31 months. I assume JD feels the tractor should last longer than that since they offer financing well beyond this time frame.

To give you an update it turns out the dealer did not tear down the engine during their inspection process, they drew a conclusion by looking at the dipstick. As of the other day JD has instructed the dealer to tear dowm the engine and determine what is the cause. Looks like my brother and I are making progress. I hope to hear from JD this week with their findings...I will keep you posted.

Please remember this is a family friendly site so please do not swear in your post.

You can call me Wayne. But it looks like I'm being called much worse, Andy.

Nice to meet you Andy. I sincerly respect you and your business model. It is very hard to be successful in todays market - you know better than I. Thanks for letting us know a different perspective on this type of warranty work.

Wow. Could work out for you then! If not maybe you guys could compromise? Maybe they will make you a good deal on a new one. Good luck.

Keep the old one if you can. I am still betting a wrench with some time on his/her hands can set you back up fairly cheaply and to your satisfaction. Again, good luck!!
