Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mcharley" data-source="post: 2071" data-attributes="member: 305"><p>Hey Eric, The first week was great no problems. After that it was all downhill!! Throttle cable was eaten by the AC compressor. Left side front & rear axle hubs were defective,threads were stripped in the lug holes ruined two rims,Eventhough I followed the tightning procedure as per the directions using a breaker bar not a air lug wrench. A.C. compressor came apart. They did put a new one on but the AC freeze's up & then I turn the heat on thaw it out still that way. The dealer did put the throttle cable on,fix the hubs and the compressor.Thats were they stopped. I have done the following, But they sent me the parts UPS. Two starters,Wiper motor,washer fluid pump,Alternator,Muffler cracked on inside seem under the heat shield, Parking brake does not work. Have not fix that yet, light comes on switch works no click to engage or disengage brake. Horn does not work,Back up alarm does not work, All fuses and relays are good. Radio is junk faceplate won't stay in saddle and reception is bad. Main hyd. pump leaks I add a gallon every two days. Two Injector line fittings cracked. Cab leaked on sides and top window. (only when it rained) There are a few more things but it depresse's me to talk about them. (lol) This is the eighth machine,first new one I bought from this dealer. The Good: It is a powerhouse,I can outwork a stock Case 580 in any situation with any attachment. I did look at the Rubber track model before buying this. The problem I would have is it is all sand here some clay but the sand is very fine to medium and very abrasive I did not want track and undercarrige problems. (I have a small Komatsu dozer with rubber tracks) The 863 has 900 hrs. and I am the only one that runs it. I could not even imagine if I let some of my employees run it what shape it would be in.
