Fun. Now try doing that 3 times fast.

We replaced half of our front axle on our TM 3 times in under 2 years, twice on the one side, then just replacing several seals after that, both sides.

We also had transmission issues (first jerky shifting, discovered it was the wrong transmission), PTO leaks, hydraulic coupler leaks, electronic "re-capturing" issues with the 3pt hitch, and I don't think the air conditioning ever worked.

One time we even had a leak develop in the A/C hose in the roof of the cab. Leaked glycol all over the place, to the point of goo-ey puddles. Finally gave up and told them not to touch it any more.

Ours was just a night-mare. We finally got rid of it after 6 years with around 3,600hours, and it'd been really reliable then for the past year or so. I'm told the new owner has put 40k in repairs into it in the past year, despite passing the Green Light inspection when we traded it.

Me.... getting another TM..... I must be mentally unstable.
