People don't believe me a lot lol. I have tons of stories but don't make any up-really!
So I always joke that I live in a Deere town right? Only parts I never have to order are for JD tractors... well, that came true again today!
Blew a lower rad hose on my JD500 backhoe last night. Spent hours last night looking on line to no avail.
The hose end dia are weird (check out the pic)
Figured 3 options-
-Order and wait 2 weeks and hope the one the say interchanges with it will
- find 2 hoses, cut the ends off, swedge the ends for fit & use exh pipe to connect
- clean it, duct tape it and loosen the cap. and get the next 10 hrs of this job done and figure it out then.
Well, I walk into my local DEERE parts hose and not only can they get it, it's IN STOCK! made my day-back to work!!
'66 Model & it doesn't interchange with any other model. LOL
Love my Deere town!
