On Aug 30 it was determined our cart tractor, a 2009 485 quadtrac needed a new hydraulic oil cooler. The dealer checks and there is none in North America.
Of course its the long weekend. On Tuesday, I was told they would put a machine down request on the order. By Thursday, they have one on order and know that it will be 2 weeks if I am lucky. Not sure what the purpose of machine down designation being available. It doesn't seem to help imo.
Oh, a new one is $2,300. Used $2,000. The tractor has 3,000 hrs on it and a neighbor changed his at seeding on a tractor with less than 2,000 hrs so I didn't want to risk a used one for that money.
Told the partslady I think that I have the wrong colour tractor.
Guess there is an upside to cutting 15 bu lentils. Cart not really needed.
