In a post below, there is a critical alert for 'big' TC owners, and I wonder if anyone has heard of a 'fix' from New Holland?
I am about to buy a new TC40, and this problem has me very concerned. The fan rubbing the shroud is only a symptom of the real problem...it seems to me the whole front of the tractor must be 'twisting' under torsional load. If that is the case, I dont think I want to own one of these machines, as the front sub-frame of the tractor needs a re-design, before the torsional loads (twisting) start cracks, or cause something to mis-align... I really dont want to find out what part or parts are caused to ultimately fail, especially if I own the broken part/tractor.
Has anyone heard of a factory responce to this problem?

I am about to purchase a TC40D dealership semo, with 58 hours, theis unit has the fan rub marks described. The marks are only on the right side of the fan housing, and there is a lot more room on the left side, however, this really concerns me.
I havn't signed the papers for ownership yet... any updates on the real cause, and a factory fix for this obvious flaw in design?
