Central Kansas | If it's like my 8410.........you have a wonderfully engineered, state of the art, new and improved POS water pump! The water pump has a plastic impellar pressed on a steel shaft.......top of the line! LOL Really moves alot of water with the impellar standing still and the shaft going around! Tractor runs hot with very little load.The replacement is a steel impellar pressed on the steel shaft. My tractor was just out of warrenty so my costs were in the $600 range. Tried to get Mother Deere to pay for it and as usual, "No Deal"
I told Mother Deere that this was a horrible design and it's obveious they had some problems and went with a more reliable pump. I even went as far as telling them that they ought to know that any major airplane manufacter that builds airliners wouldn't put thousands of lives at risk with a POS design like this! Was not a happy camper!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yes, did I fail to mention that the tractor runs cool now and worries of an impellar comming unglued are near 0! | |
