Has anybody complied an index/list of teh design and/or manufacturing defects on the 4200-4700 series? Like the front axle, metal shavings in the HST oil, etc?

I have not seen one anywhere. If you read back a ways many of the posts here will give you an idea of them. Most of the problems are quality control problems and not actual defects. They usually require the end user to tighten, adjust or change something on the tractor. The two you have mentioned seem to be the major ones. Another important one is the lugs on the wheels and making sure they are tight. Many people complained about the dash fogging and I have this problem too, but in my eyes it doesn't affect the function of the tractor and it's ability to perform so I have dismissed it. Hope this helps.

Instrument panel glass fogging? Have your dealer reference DTAC Solution LV45857 for part# RE72944, new glass lens with anti-fog coating. Easy fix, free if tractor still under warranty.
