Has anyone heard anything about the recall on the mounting hardware for the madel 48 backhoe. The adapter plates may fail if the attaching hardware becomes loose. Has anyone had this problem and have they come up with a cure for it as of yet? Been waiting to hear from the dealer about it. Thanks Gary

I visited with the J.D. Dealer Assistance Center today. I am waiting on a 48 hoe that has been put on hold do to the potential problem you described. Sounds like the problem is not common, but it only takes one machine with a potential safety problem to prompt serious examination by Deere. I was told today that new brackets and hardware have been designed, tested and are ready for production as soon as they get tooled up to build them. Availability of new 48 backhoes is tentatively scheduled for late Feb. Also, all units built before will be updated with the new parts as part of a mandatory safety product improvement program. Current owners should be getting a letter from Deere to check their mounting hardware daily until the P.I.P has been done. I believe this only affects 48 backhoes for 45,46,4700 tractors.
