Yes, it was foolish for me to take it to dealer. They got me by short hair now. I should have bit the bullet and did it myself. I could have gotten a good used transmission unit for like $1500-2000 and swapped it out.

Well, the culprit has been identified: Broken shift fork. They said $5k to have it repaired. $3K to have it put back together. What do you all think? SHOP LABOR MISC 00000 15.3 HRS OF SHOP LABOR 2601.00 SHOP PARTS 08250 1 620 K2581-13020 FORK, RANGE 84.18 84.18 08250 1 620 62061-18260...

I am certain that they weren't factory ones. I do have an injector testing pump, so I suppose I will get them out and start testing the pop pressure and spray patterns one by one. P.S. this isn't the compressor that I was fixing last month. This is a light tower. I generally have to do injector...

I have a light tower with a D1005 engine. In the last couple of years, we replaced the injectors and the injection pump, and that resolved the hard-to-start issue. This weekend, I pulled it out and it started right up, but the engine runs unsteadily, lots of black smoke, and then when I turned...

Good advice but I told them to go ahead. I am new to this area and really don;t know anyone around here who is knowledgeable to do this kind of repair. I recently had issues with a kubota engine in another piece of equipment and had to do work myself because kubota dealer would not touch it and...

Well, the tractor was purchased on a company account and therefore it was a "commercial purchase". Apparently, it is not the same warranty

Here is the quote CAUSE Tech verified customer concern. - Tech states range shifter moves but does not shift internally. - Tech verified that the selector lever moves the shift rod but does not actually shift. - Tech states this failure has occurred internally of the transmission. - Tech...

Thanks a lot, I am on the phone with the dealer. He said that was doesn't see anything but will make a call to the main office. The tractor was purchased in 11/21 and only has 20x hours.

I just called the dealer and they denied any knowledge of it

I don't think it was standard on my tractor. Is it something you would buy as an option?

No, I think it was only a 2 year warranty

Hmm, good question. I am going to call them tomorrow and inquire. They were pretty confident it was something inside

My 2021 BX2380 has just developed a problem where it is stuck in the high range. The shift lever moves fine across the entire range, but the tractor remains in high gear. Took the tractor to a dealer. The service department said that it is likely the shift fork has failed. They are quoting a...

Regardless, this was my first experience with a common rail diesel repair. I daresay it wasn't all that bad. I am used to replacing injectors, replacing/rebuilding mechanical pumps. My experience working on this newer engine didn't prove to be more challenging or require any special tools. A...

I think it is a common procedure to recalibrate the FI on big tractor-trailers when major components are replaced.
