I have a few more questions and comments. I"ve used it a couple days, the pump seems to get pretty hot, burns a persons hand. I mentioned it seemed hot the 30 minutes I used it before they picked it up the last time. Today, the end on the steel line that goes around from the pump side to the hyd. valve around above the hyd. fill hole went out, leaks very bad, the end that connects to the T connector on the left side of the hyd. reservoir. That line looks recently replaced, it still has a new looking barcode sticker on it, and the end was on tight. Possibly the pump is going bad? I see by the paint that is off they were messing with that compensator (or whatever) valve/screw adjustment on the side of the pump. Possibly bad pump? It seems like it works a little slow especially when warm, similar symptoms to a pump on my 1855, blew out the same line the same way. I"ve got a spare pump, but I asked them to check out the pump before they brought it, everything was guaranteed to work right.Also, the paint on the rear end is coming off where there were leaks. I rubbed some more off, and it looks like the entire back end is green underneath the black paint. Axles, underside, everything. Would that have been the case with a White or would the rear end have been changed? It does not start without ether at 30 degrees, the preheater does nothing and I"m pretty sure it"s working. I asked them about that in a letter when they picked it up, no response. I told them to check injectors and compression. Couple other notes on the deal. It has an exhaust leak, I told them to fix it before they brought it the first time, and the second time, they did nothing. I said It needed done, to call if they had questions, I"d have paid if I had to. It leaks into the cab enough that I have to have the windows open, I smelled a little but by the time I thought much of it, I had a bad headache. I think that ring seal thing is out on the turbo, don"t really see how that would be ready to sell as bad as it is. It looks like the bolts will break if a person tries to take off that elbow, and I don"t have anything to put in new threads. The temperature gage did not work at all the first time. When they picked it up I told them to fix it, they put in another one, looked old, glass not clear. It didn"t work either, it went to 145 degrees and stopped every time. Tractor is supposed to have about 4000 hours on it. Gage was broken, new one put in, he said he was sure of the hours and it was advertised that way. Thoughts and suggestions from buying this from an Agco dealer, ready to go, and using it only a couple days?
