Bought a Deere 4650 a couple of weeks ago. I posted about it back when I was dickering on it back in December. Well I made the buy and picked it up from the dealer on Jan 5. Drove it home and there was no heat in the cab. Fan ran but no heat. Dealer mechanic comes out to my shop and said the heater valve was probably bad. He'll order one. Sat in the shop a week while I did some other piddly stuff on it. He came back, replaced the valve and still no heat so I drove it back to the dealer. They blew out the core, no heat. Then they replaced the water pump. Said they had had some trouble with impellers spinning on the shaft. Still no heat.
Then an older mechanic said to pull the heater line from the engine and put a clear hose on it and watch what coes through it. All they had was air and a sprinkling of anti-freeze. Then they pulled the rad cap and found bubbles.
Head is coming off tomorrow. I did buy this tractor right so I can afford to spend some money on it. I rented it for 75 hours last spring and it pulled and ran OK so everything else seems to be OK. I have known the dealer for forty years and he's a square shooter who wants a happy customer so I'm fairly confident he'll go at least part way on this. You just never know when you buy used stuff and when you do you have to buy it cheap enough so you have a cushion. I guess you can't win em all!!! Jim

In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
