Big pile of disinformation here, as usual. No, any affected machines do NOT automatically get new engines. They're actually dealing with two separate issues - one relating to bad crankshaft dampers causing catastrophic engine failure on high-horsepower 6081s equipped with two crankshaft dampers, and the oil-hole issue, which is more prevalent on crankshafts from one foundry, as Deere sources the forgings from multiple companies and machines the crankshafts in-house. They know which machines have the problem crankshafts, and the crankshafts are being replaced - we've done 3 in 4920 sprayers, and I think have one to do in an 8020 tractor - one 20-series tractor out of several dozen we've sold. Deere won't stand the oil or antifreeze? First, why does the antifreeze need replaced? Factory-fill Deere coolant is good for 5 years or 5000 hours, so it can easily be drained into clean containers and reused. And the oil? Let's see, does Deere normally pay for oil changes, which is what it amounts to? Let's see, less than $100 worth of oil and a filter that the customer is responsible as part of a bill that will easily run $5000. Don't worry though, if you cry long and hard enough to the dealer, they'll probably get the oil and filter for you too.

Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Secondary Ignition Wires and Distributor - by Curtis Von Fange. In our last episode we spent the entire day checking out the spark plugs. Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
