Our 2011 332D machine has the 3.0L 5 cylinder Deere engine, a 5030 JD engine, has 75hrs on it and developed a slow oil leak. Dealer has had it since 12/11 and said its the oil pan leaking, factory defect or whatnot.
They're telling me now on 12/28 that it could take until the end of next week to finish. Saw the machine yesterday sitting in front of one of their garage bays, not yet worked on still.
Does anyone know if something like that would need to have the engine pulled or can they unbolt anything from the bottom of the machine? Without seeing one in front of me, i'd assume these engines would have to come out to repair anything underneath?
They said its a really big job to complete... our machines are mint condition, spotless inside, so anything leaking was a red flag. Will be thrilled its covered under warranty but still, they'll have it close to a month, worried if we get snow soon since its supposed to be on a site a week ago.
Looks like this, but this is our 319D track version.. just for reference.
