In another thread, I discuss some problems associated with a cover on the back of the HST. A poor casting allowed a crack to further open due to the tremendous pressure that is developed as the swash plate does it's thing with momentum and vibration developed just millimeters away.

Finally...…..A real mechanic who knew the exact problem, advised about keeping the bolts in order, shared how hard to get a certain bearing out of the old case can be and best of all,......maybe....$250 for re-assembly, a new bearing, and fluids...………
Don't know about YOU; but after all this time of loosing an old line dealer, "I could care about your problem" attitude, idiots that cant work a light switch that orders parts that will get there 2 weeks from now, and most often, to far away to be of use...……..
I am truly blessed...…..onto the trailer, drive 38 miles, and deliver the machine. Out come 3 fellas to take off my chains and straps, smiling in the heat comes the owner of the place, and relates how glad he is to see me. Yes, they have a yard full of machines to work on; but be assured that they will have my repair finished as soon as parts come in next week...…..FANTASTIC...….
hmmmmm ZERO INTEREST ON A NEW "L" WITH 80 MONTHS TO PAY IT OFF...…This old Boy has found a place to spread smiles and good will...…...God blesses in wonderful ways....Dennis
