Thanks Vern!

Should I be able to request that the dealer order this for me or does something have to be "wrong" with my current loader parking stand to get the new model? The current stand is rubbing the hell out of the front frame to the point where I'm going to have to re-spray that piece with Deere Black! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. :thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

 

I had the same problem with mine and I could not have the quick hitch support brkt bolted to the frame with the loader on because of the stand interference. I also had a problem with the loader stand extension feet hitting the mmm front draft link. The dealer came out to look at the problems I was having and I suggested the new style parking stand should cure my concerns and they agreed, but had to submit there findings to mother Deere for the final decision.
Deere responded to the dealer with about 4 pages of do this and check that and if everything was to Deeres liking then yeah go ahead and put a new stand on, which they did. If it had been up to the dealer they would have put a new stand on no problem.
For warranty repairs the dealers it seems have their hands tied and cannot make a decision without Deere approval.

 

Looks like it may not be as simple as requesting a new stand then... ugh. I sent my sales guy a note and asked if he could look into the information that you provided and he said no problem. I'll keep everyone posted on the response. Hoping that I don't have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get the new stand and associated parts. I want to do the install myself so I'm just looking for the parts. I don't have a MMM yet, but if there is interference, just don't want to wait until I have the MMM or the stand actually breaks, like most have. Plus, it's rubbing the damn paint off the front frame piece and it will surely rust (I don't care about the stand paint) if I can't consistently prevent it. Basically, it's just not "right."

Looks like parts cost is about $275 according to greenfarmparts.com.

If Deere puts up a stink, I'm just going to take the stand off for now as I always have the FEL on.

 

No dice.

Dealer said that there isn't an actual recall but replacement only if there is an interference problem and the interference problem would be that it fits or doesn't fit the loader/tractor, period. So, my machine / loader is not a candidate for warranty replacement.

No response to the fact that the stand on my machine is rubbing the paint off both the stand and more importantly the frame and will eventually start to rust. I see many pictures of those with the non-V style stands and it's not touching the frame or even close, unlike mine. I don't think that I should have to constantly touch up the front frame, espeically on a machine that is stored inside 100% of the time when not being used so it doesn't turn into a rust bucket. I've worked on / done resto work on old and newer muscle cars since I was very young and know how quickly rust spreads. I specifically didn't buy a Mahindra because several of the brand new machines that were on the lot had rusting frames and parts and I'm not spending big $ on a brand new machine that is already rusting.

Maybe I'm just :cookoo: with my expectations?

 

I had no problems with my dealer, he ordered the stand and mounting parts and just told me to bring in the old stand. They did not check it or even question me about it. I would just keep pushing, something has to give.

 

Thanks for the information, I appreciate it! How did you approach the dealer?

I sent my dealer an e-mail and asked them to look into the possibility of replacing my stand as I've heard many are able to obtain a replacement stand due to failure and/or fittment issues... That didn't seem to go anywhere with them. Maybe I'm just too "nice."

 

Yep. I asked a local dealer if I could receive at no cost the new Gen 3 H120 park stand BEFORE mine breaks the cast mounts. He said "not until yours breaks". So, I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing to park my loader with the Gen 1 stand, 80 or so parks and it hasn't broke yet...

 

Is your current (old) stand rubbing the paint off the front frame? What happens with mine is, when I fill the bucket with dirt and on occassion when it spills over the top (if on an incline) it will get caught between the stand and the front frame and as the masts move slightly when doing loader work, it just grinds dirt against the metal and it is scratched to the metal and looks like crap.

 

I broke the casting mounts twice. The dealer installed a new stand and I have not had any issues.

 

Nope, my stand is far from the frame. You can see for yourself on my YouTube videos.

 

Checked with another local dealer today and no dice with them either. Looks like no upgrade unless it fails.

 

. . . Looks like no upgrade unless it fails . . .

Wouldn't be surprised if it 'fails' pretty soon . . . :dunno:

 

Figured I'd share pics of my loader parking stand rubbing fix. I'm going to paint the front frame piece where the tube scratched off the paint before it rusts. Thinking that I'll just mask off the front of the tractor and paint that entire piece so that it looks nice and even. I have a couple decent Devilbiss HVLP spray guns that I can use or maybe I'll just use the John Deere rattle can black that I have? Thoughts?

The section of rubber that I used is a very hard durometer 1-1/4" drain tube that fits very tightly around the stand tube, so it should hold up nicely. I will most likely upgrade to the new stand design if this one doesn't break and get warrantied first.

Rattle can it, For this small of an area its just not worth the time, effort, and expense (chemicals) to clean the HVLP. The JD paint is good stuff.

 

Not a bad idea Meburdick. Thank you for the suggestion. Documentation is key with something like this.

 

Documentation is always a good thing for this sort of stuff, but what could be even more important in the long run is you -not- fixing it yourself. As soon as you touch it, Deere will use that as an out to deny any future coverage. So, if you're still covered by the warranty, it's worth exploring at a minimum.

And, don't forget to tell them you want to have Eric (if he's still the area rep) follow up. :thumbup1gif:

Making that statement might rattle them a little if they're not motivated already. :lol:

 

Mine is being picked up in the morning. New valve and new parking stand while they are at it.

Can't wait to love my machine again. I have 14 yards of fresh dirt sitting here waiting to be spread.

How did you pull off the new parking stand? Did yours break?

 

I have version 1 of the loader stand and it was hitting the vent on the mower (54d) gearbox when installing. They said no problem, and knew there was a new stand to fix that issue.

 

Parking stand PIP

Hey 636, Do you know of anyone who had their parking stand replaced even though they haven't broke it yet? I'm curious, cause I want to get on the band wagon before my warranty runs out in October. My dealer, ( in another state) told me this spring, " If it ain't broke, we won't replace it". I got a bad feeling, once the warranty is up, I'm screwed. I'd even be willing to do the work myself, if they'ed just send me one.
Thanks
KHOP

Mine was replaced while in the shop. I think I mentioned being concerned about how tight it was on the frame.

Yes mine was replaced without breaking it first. My issue was the stand hitting the mower gear case and pushing the mower away while trying to mount the mower with the loader installed. As I was the one driving the tractor I had never seen what was happening that made it so hard to drive over the mower deck. My wife spotted the interference problem and then it all made sence. I supplied the dealer with a description of my problem plus photos and the stand was replaced. The "V" gives just the little added clearance to allow me to mount the mower without big problems.

 

Is that the 60" deck?

Same issue i was having, but not quite as low as yours. Mine would hit the valve at the top and either push the deck or crush the valve out of the way.

 

Just a comment. It's not always a dealers decision as to what is warranty work and what is not. Doesn't make it right or wrong.

 

This is true. The dealer submits the warranty job to the manufacturer, who may or may not pay it. Some manufacturers require all warranted parts to be returned to them, and at least one tests those parts in their factory. If they decide the part is good (think intermittent problems), they don't pay for the repair to the customer's machine that the dealer has already done and the dealer ends up eating it.

Some don't consider all PINs warranty, either. They're often considered just a solution for a problem that may occur on some machines.

 

I got a survey about my loader and how I liked it from Deere. In the survey I said was unhappy with the drooping and the flopping. I wasn't a week later that I got a call from my salesperson to see about getting it in and looked at. At that time I had already had it and they couldn't fix it.... I guess I'd wait till the survey comes out and see what they say after it isn't filled out with all 5's....

That's a good point, but why would John Deere tell some dealers "OK" fix it and others to be dicks about an obvious problem that they have well enough documented to have come up with a P.I.P. for it? The internet is full of lazy dealer stories where one won't do the work and another is more than happy to help.. :unknown: Having dropped that amount of coin on a machine and then having issues others get resolved has to be super frustrating. There are a lot of threads on here that make me feel pretty lucky about my dealer.

Had to wait about 1.5 to 2 weeks to get mine. ( this was only last week that it arrived.) popular fix in short supply, at least JD's back orders are only a week or two.

 

Transport to/from the dealer is NOT covered under warranty. If you have purchased your machine from a dealer that offers this as part of their general service (like I did), then you are benefiting from some extra level of service.

As far as what is covered under warranty and what is not - there is much that is simply "covered" because JD has all of the details on known issues with specific fixes. These are repairs that one might call "pre-approved". Other times, getting JD to foot part or all of a repair bill has a lot to do with the dealer's relationship with the JD rep in their area. Or, how hard you push to get his phone number and how loud you gripe at him (or her) when you get a chance to have a phone call.

Buying a trailer is not necessarily what you need to do. Although the dealer won't transport it for free, they likely WILL transport it for a fee. Or, you may be able to get them to do the warranty work at your location (depending on how hard it is to do). I'd suggest a sit-down conversation with the service manager at your nearest dealer to discuss the fact that you feel there is a warranty-related issue that needs to be tended to. Explain that you understand your dealer's position on everything, but you would like an opportunity to speak directly with the area rep and ask the dealer to put you in touch. If they flat-out refuse, keep talking to dealers until someone puts you in touch, and then be sure to lambaste the dealer that wouldn't help you as part of the process. And, to that end, explain to said non-helpful dealer that you will get to talk to the local rep either with, or without their help. And you see it as doing some good for them by being able to explain to the rep how helpful you've been up to that point.

 

Just double checking here. If I get the 3rd gen parking stand then I can leave the quick tatch bracket on with the loader connected. Big issue for me because I the winter I have to remove all the snow blowers hardware to use the loader.

 

Yes the quick hitch support brackets can stay bolted to the frame with the 3rd gen parking stand:thumbup1gif:

 

Getting in late on this one. Did someone mention earlier in this post that the cost for the new stand is $275?

Thanks!

 

Yes, according to pricing through Green Farm parts for all of the pieces needed, it's almost $300 I believe when I checked.

 

Hey Vern,

Can you put up a pic with the quick hitch support bracket installed? Like this?

We all know that the gen one park stand won't work with the quick hitch bracket installed, but I'm still not too convinced that the gen three will do it any better?

 

I am not sure the quick hitch brkt will work, I just got the plow in July. Tractor is in shop hopefully getting my new SCV but I will be glad to check it out when I get her back, hopefully this week, going through withdrawal right now :empathy::empathy:

 

My 1026 TLB came with the bracket already dealer installed and new generation stand, it clears fine.

 

Routing H120 loader hyd hoses.

Have new design 1026, H120 parking stand installed, any hints on securing the hyd hoses? new install interferes with old hose keeper.

On my 1025 it fits - the hole is just above the mount for the new stand.
