So how much coolant does an 8520 hold? Seems to me about 7.5 gallons or so. So yeah, you'll likely lose a gallon here or there, if your'e a comlete slob. I lost count of how many upper fan shroud PIPs I did, and I don't recall losing anywhere near a gallon doing those. So if it takes a gallon to top one back off, it's going to set the customer back all of $10 or less. That will definitely make or break some guys, won't it Scooter? Want to hear about Deere "socking it to guys". Here's a personal experience to go along with yours - one that might carry a little more weight. We had a customer with an 8300T. He bought the Power-Gard extended powertrain warranty. About 200 hours or so after the warranty expired, it shelled out the big bearings that carry those huge track drive hubs on the rear final-drive housings. Ruined one side completely and was in the process of doing it to the other side. Total parts and labor came to around $25,000. I know, because I fixed it. Deere didn't have to fix it, we didn't have to try and PERSUADE them to fix it, and he didn't have a leg to stand on if he wanted to try and make them, because the machine was well out of warranty. But they went ahead and fixed it. He paid the same $500 deductible he would have paid had it still been in warranty, and not one cent more - not even for oil and filters. So, Deere bit the bullet, and he repaid their efforts by trading it in on a Cat Challenger he got a cut-throat deal on. So don't come crying to me about buying oil and antifreeze Scooter.
