About 3 years ago I completely restored a "40 H. In the process, I put on new brake bands from YT. On the bands was a sticker touting the technologically advanced adhesive which negated the need for rivets. This H is a parade/show tractor. It hasn"t had many miles at all put on it, and hasn"t done any heavy tillage or other work. I noticed the other day, as I was unloading it from a parade, that the right brake pedal suddenly went way further than it should, and the pedal began to "SURGE." I disassembled the brake to find that the band and the lining were separated, allowing the lining to spin around with the drum. This tractor is kept inside. Its NOT been abused or even really worked. I called YT, and was told, there is a year warranty. Period. I"ve purchased literally THOUSANDS of dollars worth of parts from them over the years, in restoring numerous tractors for myself and others. I really thought they"d step up and take care of it, even though its been a few yrs, but I found I was out of luck. I fully understand that they are under no obligation to take care of it, but for pete"s sake, the stupid thing failed with very little use and I"ve been what I"d consider a pretty good customer. Even a discount on a new brake band would be a good faith attempt enough to keep my business, but even that was not proposed. I"m mad, and I have three tractors sitting in my shed waiting their turns for ground up restoration. I really hate to take my business elsewhere, but I"m bullheaded enough to do just that. Okay, let me have it... am I WAY off base, mildly off base, kinda right, or right on track for being mad at shoddy products?

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
