Self inflicted issue

[bfisherman11]

Well after 3yrs i have my first issue with my G3033H but it was of my own doing and has a happy ending. I was out clearing woods last Saturday and a tree must have gotten under the tractor and fractured a hydraulic drain line. I saw a leak on my way into the pole barn later that day. No symptoms at all. I could not tell by the parts manual what part number it was but knew it was one of two part numbers. Combined, both cost $180 w/shipping on line. I decided to call my dealer and he knew what single part I needed, we ordered it for $50 and he is going to open up on Sunday for me. That is great Service.

Counting myself lucky.

Not yet because my tractor is up at my place in WI. Actually this could not have happened at a worse time because I have to get my food plot in sooner than later. Deer season will open up 9/15, it has been a bit dry but rain is predicted for Monday (good)…

That dealer must be in a small town to get that kind of service.

I haven't had a hydraulic leak yet, but while bush hogging one day a limb broke my fuel filter. As soon as I smelled the diesel fuel, I got off and discovered the problem. I guess it was a good thing that I had just fueled up before going out so that I had enough fuel to get back to the barn. Since then, I keep an extra fuel filter and bowl on hand.
