Thanks for all the responses. Here is the latest. I called Columbia Tractor yesterday morning and spoke to the Service Manager. I asked him if he knew the status of the (4) new rims. He said they arrived late the day before. I told him I had the new tubes and would drive over and drop them...

I recently installed this valve on my B9200. Note: it is only an 8 gal/min valve, your tractor may have a much greater volume. http://www.surpluscenter.com/Hydraulics/Hydraulic-Valves/Directional-Control-Valves/1-SPOOL-8-GPM-PRINCE-MB11G5C1-DA-FLOAT-VALVE-9-7861-F.axd I also purchased...

I have not heard a word from Columbia tractor as to whether the new rims arrived and what their position is. I will contact them in the morning for an update.

Legally binding in the notion that I Contracted with Columbia Tractor to perform a service and would be responsible for paying for the service as described is fine and acceptable to me. At no time in the reading back to me did he state "the rims could be damaged beyond repair conducting this...

Thanks for your comments Frank that has been my experience as well. As noted above, I have done a fair amount of business with their parts department. I have been a customer since 1999. I know all three of them and they know me. M, R & R are very helpful (especially R & R). They are very...

Hello Drove over yesterday morning and spoke to the owner, the service manager was not there. I explained what happened. They are going to order (4) new rims for stock, (to avoid dealer shipping charges) and when they come in, his words, then we can "fight it out". Won't be much of a fight...

Thanks Darin T. First thing in the morning, I will drive over (45 min. each way) to the dealer and ask to speak with Stu, the owner. Thanks for the contact info. In the overall scheme of things, this is such a small issue, that I cannot believe that the Service Manager does not have the...

Here is an update with my issue and it's time to name names: Columbia Tractor, Inc. Hudson, New York. A vist to their website http://www.columbiatractor.com/ displays this: Columbia Tractor, Inc "Your Satisfaction is Our Pleasure" Well folks, I am not satisfied, I have...

Thanks guys for all the feedback. Nothing new here, dealer has not responded since yesterday when I called. FYI, I have spent around $6K in parts and service with them within the last year.

The link did not work for me for your picture. Regarding my trailer, I have to stay off of Craigslist, found the trailer in Northern Vermont, paid $800 for it plus time and fuel to go get it. Made in Quebec. It is 4' x8' and has a 3300# payload. Double acting cylinders so power up and down...

I agree, that is why I accepted to take this one out of four rims. The other three rims look like they got in a hatchet fight and didn't have no hatchet!

The latest is that after (3) phone calls, I finally spoke to the service manager just before they closed for the day. I stated that I did not want to accept the straightening of any of the 3 rims he had. We went back and forth a little then he stated that he did not realize that I was doing a...

Better picture of minor damage. http://www.fixpicture.org/medias/1417740179_tmp_IMG_2115.jpg

Okay, I really suck at posting pictures, once again my apologies to all. http://www.fixpicture.org/medias/1417739928_tmp_IMG_2114.jpg This shows some very minor damage done by the dealer during the dismounting of the tires.
