Not just a JD thing, but all equipment dealers are really interested in is selling new equipment, and servicing the late model equipment that the have sold. Dealerships don’t give two hoots about some guy that buys used equipment, and drags it in expecting them to make it like new. Particularly if there is little chance the customer will ever buy another piece of equipment from them. There’s no money in that, and it’s not their racket. Their business model is selling New equipment, and providing warranty and service on the equipment they sell. That is why their shop charges are so high, they don’t want to fix old stuff. Customers with older equipment expect that the dealers mechanics should be able to fix a 40 year old tractor, while the guy may not have even been born yet at the time the tractor was new. Many of the mechanics that where factory trained to fix these older tractors are either retired or dead. And the companies that manufacture tractors and equipment call most anything over 20 years old obsolete, and no longer support the equipment with parts. It really tics me off, but this seems to be the way it is.

Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
