Adding another issue to the pile...
I take extremely good care of my tractor and operate it correctly and properly (it's babied), so this isn't the answer that I was looking for from her :thumbsdown: I very recently noticed that the "FBS" surfaced and then noticed the wet lines underneath the foot board, it's now wet enough that it's dripping when parked.
I'm debating on whether or not to take the fender off myself to see if it's something simple (lose fittings) or just call the dealer and have them pick it up? I'm not all that thrilled with my dealers service department as they made a less than desirable "correction" when I inquired about the right side engine cover/panel protruding out farther than the left side and not mating properly with the hood. Their answer was to cut the foam that seals the fuse panel to get the panel to sit tighter against the cowl area. I discovered it, didn't say a word to them, ordered a new foam piece and replaced the hacked piece. I've accepted that the panel fitment varies (seen some really bad ones on the lot and some perfect ones as well) and that it's a tractor.
So, not really sure I want this dealers service department doing anything on my tractor after discovering the panel fitment "fix" even though I do appreciate their attempt toward correcting it. I'm very happy with the sales team, but not so much with the service department. Sorry to be a whining b*tch but it is what it is and I wouldn't have to sound like one if it was handled correctly. I've just been around the industry long enough to discern differing levels of competency and pride.
I very rarely make complaint posts, but just frustrated and not expecting to have to deal with some of the annoying problems that have surfaced recently.
Other annoying issues that have surfaced:
(1) When attempting to look at the SCV lines, I removed the bolts for the foot pads and one of them stripped out. The bolts appear to be a self-tapping fastener, so it was either cross threaded when installed or just my luck that it stripped out when being removed.
(2) Loader parking stand is rubbing / scratching the front frame.
(3) Sticker on the hood was bubbled at the top and dirt got behind it and I didn't notice it until after the machine was delivered - dealer gave me a new sticker.
(4) Right side engine panel fits poorly, but have accepted it.
(5) FBS seems to have surfaced around the same time that the loader SCV lines started showing signs of leakage.
One thing that I can say is the tractor runs and performs very well. I'm sure after some of these bugs are worked out, the growing pains will fade away in time. :)
