I had the local dealer come pick up my MF 135 diesel because the three point stopped working and I dont have the time or knowledge to fix it. When the mechanic was loading it up he told me that he thought either a linkage was bent or the control valve was bad and it should be $300-500. He checked the dipstick and said he didnt think there was any water in the hydrualic fluid. The next day he called from the dealership and says the pump isn't building any pressure. I told him I needed the tractor, so keep working and notify me when you figure out the problem. He calls two days later and said that its fixed, needed a control valve, and my bill is $1,000. He also put new rings on the pump. He said water froze and caused this problem. I just bought the tractor from this same dealer six months ago, so obviously they had not changed the fluid. I have talked to the manager and gotten nowhere, I think they're trying to stick it to me since I'm young. How would you handle the situation? And does the pump need to be touched to replace the control valve? My friend, who's a mechanic doesnt think so, but he's not very familiar with tractors. Thanks for the help, Dan.

My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
