The last mechanic I went to torqued these to hell…what are the chances he also tightened my spark plugs this much?
Never again…my other mechanic never overtorqued things this much.

Lool deere guys are one of the worst. Each time they send me their kid with a laptop who shits the bed because he actually has to turn a wrench. Or the laptop won’t tell him what ecm to replace before he replaces the entire wire harnesses the next day because it didn’t fix it. Fuck they look at me like I’m a retard when I try to tell these guys about hydraulic injection. “They never told us about that”… last time I told them, if your going to send me your fucking apprentices m, I’m going to write you an invoice for my time wasted. Had one deere guy tell me. “They don’t let us do any welding repairs, because if it can be fixed by welding then it’s a part they can’t sell.”
It seems like the only job requirements for a deere guy is show up and be able fog a mirror.
I moved to ag country recently and all I know is fuck Deere. Thank you for confirming my hate towards them
Brother, I have delt with many many of them. Deere, Cat, doosan/bobcat , libbehr, sennebogen. Case, jcb, genie, They all absofukingloutley suck. Particularly in north America it’s fucking pathetic. They shown up in their shiny ass service trucks. Come out with their ego like get out the way I’m a professional you have no business touching this because you are some somenfuckinn shmoe. Then i have spend my entire fucking day babysitting the ignorant punk. To get a bulshit diagnosis that’s completely wrong because the guy doesn’t even know how to read the damn service information to get it right.
Budy, I kid you not. I had to teach one guy how to use his damn multimeter properly to check continuity on a wire.
If you have a piece of equipment that is internationally made. Like Europe or aisia. Call them instead of the local dealer. I’ve gotten better and faster results from a 10 min phone call than 8hr day with a local.
Hell I only ever call those dealer guys when it’s something I simply can’t do, like injector cut out tests or I just don’t have time for it and I regret it the second I see the guy roll up.
Not long ago. I had a cat guy come, needed to verify hui pump on a 3126b. Yes it’s the pump. I give him okay to swap for a new one. I had one in a spare parts machine with a rebuild motor. I pull out the spare by the time i finish the guy is still trying to get the lines off. Day later after he put it in, the damn thing is falling out oil everywhere. Fuck it’s goddam - 20c and a snow storm and we need the machine next morning.
Lmao exactly aligns with the stories from the farmers at my pub. Got a good chuckle out of the anecdote about needing it before a snow storm and the techy being slow.
Goes to show what book smarts with no street smarts will get ya. That multimeter is scary if it’s your first time using it!
Unless it involves warranty on something expensive, we just do it ourselves and if we need a CANbus address programmed in, I call them out to do that for the minimum charge. If I do get them to do something, I check it after pretty closely.
Had a guy out to install a turbo on our 7630; he hadn’t tightened the collar for the oil supply, if you can believe it. I did talk to the service manager about that one, that was pretty egregious. Like really, on a turbo, keeping that oil bearing pressured is probably the only critical thing to watch for.
