Green vs. Orange

John Deere's has a huge hold on the commercial agriculture market, small tractor sales probably doesn't mean much to them compared to the multi million dollar combines

to be honest, after dealing with a Deere dealer last year for a spindle on 35hp tractor(I don't remember the model, smaller with loader and 2wd) id never deal with Deere for my own uses.

what a cluster fuck that turned into, took 4 weeks to finally get the correct parts, got 2 wrong spindles (one was never finished machined), 3 incorrect bearings. I supplied all the serial numbers even had picture of data tag of the machine. Ultimately ended up with an aftermarket part that needed to be "massaged" to get the bearings to fit. I feel for the Next guy that gets to work on it. Spindle separations are not uncommon (snapped between the inner and outer hub bearing) this should have been a bread and butter repair.
