Hahahaha. Yes, I sent the cold your way. It is beginning to get on my nerves too. We have gone from -25 to -8 today. Should be up to +30 by Tuesday and that will feel absolutely balmy. I'll send it your way.

With all the fire works going off for the last hour around here.
The smoky cold air will likely hang around. & too the mid 40s

So LS is paying to have tractors brought back in all to add that little shim in there? Seems like such a small fix that's costing them a lot.
We definitely got some of that cold weather here. I don't remember this many days with the temps at night below freezing. Certainly never seen 5.5" of snow on the ground around these parts. Wish it came more often.

Careful what you wish for... LOL supposed to get to 25°f today, its only up to 5, the sun is setting and I'm still waiting...
We did foam insulation in our old leaky house. took all the walls out, had a company come in and foam it. because we were still living in the basement, we did half the upstairs at a time. First time they came in and sprayed this nasty smelling stuff.. but it went away after a day. The second time they sprayed corbond and it was odorless... compared to the other type. because the house is 70 years old, its far from air tight but sure doesn't feel drafty anymore.
We are building a 40x60 two story shop this summer, and are looking in to SIP pannels. It will be air tight on the second level so we will be putting in some ERV systems on both levels to keep any smells out of the second story.

Hiring a well respected spray-foam company will be well worth the expense in the long run. Heating and cooling savings will be immediate and forever after the initial cost of the insulation. Proper ventilation is a Must for well insulated buildings too.

Upper 30s here today and the next couple of days, but then it's back to 60ish. Just last week I think we were close to 70 which is great temperature wise, but then we're stuck fighting the no see ums.

Little up date on our recall.
We called a new LS dealer called Trenton Farm Equipment. They said they were waiting for the ''recall kits''.
We also called the regional service manager, Ricky M.
Ricky M said he would get back w/ us & that was only two days back. So there is still time on the waiting clock.
Honestly, even in NE Florida it has been just too cold to work anyone o/s in this near freezing & freezing weather.
Tonight it's headed down into the upper teens, then level up into lower 20s, until mid morning.
I do believe my banana trees will die back tonight.....they usually do every winter, so no big deal, just a mess to clean up.
Good luck to you snowed or iced in folks up north.

After seeing this thread I had called my dealer and he was just putting together the list to send to LS. He said any sales that were over 100 miles away from the dealer had to be sent to LS for them to decide where they wanted the service to be done. In our case, the dealer we bought from was not the closest (closest didn't carry the Hydro). So I suppose it will be a little bit before anyone contacts us.

It is not a recall. It is an ehancement /upgrade. It about as clear as mud. My dealer is 4 hours away. He is talking to LS about getting approval. There is a dealer 45 miles away I refuse to go to. When I was looking last year called him ask if he would do warranty if I bought from another dealer. He was very fast and short NO.
Another dealer 70 miles away will do if I pull up there. Gave me some bs that they dont actual get paid for warranty LS just takes it off what the dealer owes them for tractors.

Sounds like dealer not of the highest quality.
If that happened to us, we would be trying to work around that outfit too.
Perhaps one day LS will demand higher standards from their dealerships.
I hope we have never have that issue here.

Except fot the dealer the closest who is just an Ahole. It is the confusion comes from the way LS communicates to them. My dealer has sent LS all my details, so we see who fixes it. The fix is not the same on every tractor some get just the shims, while others get the shims and plate.

What's the hazard if the fix isn't made? I assuming the recall came about from people having issues, so just curious what the damage was that identified the need for the recall.

MAY cause a front main seal leak. It a cya thing for LS.

Well for some of us that maybe an undertaking...........................................lol
Ehinson (or anyone with the shim installed) could you take a picture of the underside of the shim and tell me if it goes all the way down. I just bought a brand new xg3025 h on Thursday and I noticed after reading this thread that I did not have the shim. I have a large gap at the top and it is tight to the frame at the bottom of the bracket. I can put a feeler gauge all the way to the bolt on top. It measures .056"+. So the geometries off if the bottom is tight to the frame and the top is loose. I'm also noticing a bit of seepage around the oil pan. I've only put an hour on the tractor. please let me know as soon as you can if you can see the shim on the bottom also. I'm going to talk to my dealer tomorrow( Monday)

As I recall it does go all the way down but I will look again tomorrow.
My pan still leaks and I'm going to pull it off.
And for any that recall, I'm STILL waiting on my **** replacement bumper that the dealers driver bent.
But hey, I only been waiting since December........

Thanks for the reply bud. Is your leak a seep or a full on drip? Is it the same as always or is it getting worse? If that was me waiting on that bumper I would be calling daily. He'll tell them to take one off a tractor they have in stock.

Actually, I did that to my G3038H by forgetting to put the brushguard back up after doing a service and having lunch. I brought the loader up and drove to do a job and the loader wouldn't go all the way down - What the ***! - Slap of forehead and, yup. Looked just like yours does.
Funny thing is, it wasn't really a defect, it was a feature because I could open the hood without having to drop the brushguard. Well, I had also run a big limb through my grill and broke it up pretty badly, and broke the right headlight. So, off came the brushguard, and off came the hood. I plastic welded the ABS back into a pretty decent shape and then beat the **** out of the brushguard, repainted it and reassembled everything except I put a shim between the guard and the frame and you know what, I can open the hood and never have to drop the brush guard again. Think about it before you make it all "right" again.

You will LOVE SIPS - my law firm represented a major manufacture of them and I had to learn all about them - that is THE way to build a home. They are not quiet though, actually almost increase noise so make sure you do some sound attenuation, like a dead air space between the inside sheathing and the SIPS's inside surface. Otherwise, all you need is a foundation and the thing goes up - no studs, no trusses (if you do a SIPS roof).

It's a seep but getting worse, I pulled it out of the workshop and ran it for 30 min two days ago, pulled it back in and put some Styrofoam under where it leaks, have a silver $ size puddle there now.
Gonna call the dealer again tomorrow.
I will fix the leak myself, don't want to risk them bending my loader or ripping the steering wheel off with a winch.
