I would like to request any info concerning cracked rear end? Here's what has happend, while brushhogging for a duration of 6 hours I noticed some liquid on the draw bar, upon further inspection it was hydraulic oil and comming out at a steady rate. The owner at my JD shop has been fair and has asked me many questions, he has ruled out the brush hog due to the small cover in the back is not crack nor is the PTO shaft broke. The crack exist from the draw bar straight towards the front of the tractor. He asked if I hit anything with the draw bar while backing up. answer is no. I'm wondering if this is factory defect, I would assume a JD4710 which was the largest compact at the time would be almost bullet proof, although it is a piece of machinery I don't believe a homeowner would cause such a severve break (part alone $6000.) I'm including a list of bullet statement problems which have occured with this tractor. A) front end leak<br>
B) melted fuse box<br>
C) lights quit<br>
D) hood latch broke<br>
E) bucket had to have a shim kit installed<br>
F) replace decal on hood, peeled off<br>
G) steering cap has been replaced twice<br>
H) tilt wheel inoperable<br>
I) rear end cracked<br>
J) battery leaked<br>
K) tractor rocks back and forth at idle<br>
<br>
I would like to state that the dealer has been very good, although I'm very concerned due to the tractor only has 200 hours on it and is a year and a half old. <br>

I don't have a part #. Try calling my dealer Giroux Bros 518-561-3682 in upstate NY, ask for Matt McClain he is the service manager who informed me on the fix. You may use my name if you like Brian Marchessault JD4710 E-hydro. They seem to be very knowledgeable and always return phone calls. He is uses this web site as well. hope this helps.

thanks for the inputs, I would like to know if anyone has taken the initive and tore the tilt wheel apart? I'm planning on taking the mechanism apart to see if there is a possible modification. I've experienced a few problems that concern me, 1st my front end has sprung a small leak on the right side, 2nd the main arm for the FEL on the right side seems to be loose. I plan on bringing it back to the dealer in the fall. 3 items I had the dealer repair in the spring are down for repair again which bothers me. any thoughts?

I picked up my new 4710 E-hydro w/heavy duty FEL, R4's loaded, work light, It came with all the toys cruise, load match, motion match, e-4*4, block heater and there was a $400 rebate if you buy 2 attachments, FEL is 1 and I opted for a 3pth back blade since it is only $440 basically free, total for the tractor is $23600. Saved 350 when I picked it up. I felt I made a great choice and price, comments welcomed.

Thanks for the tip. My TC35D is need of a new fan and my dealer is blowing me off saying its something i'm doing.
Do you have the address and claim # for reference, as well I would love to send a copy to my dealership which I'm not very happy with. They picked up my tractor for warranty work which I did not want completed but the interesting part is they never notified me that they were picking it up and never left a note. We thought it was stolen and reported it to the state police. Kudos to those troopers for they found it and were furious and they pressed charges. The dealer thought I was being unreasonalbe imagine that. I will not buy another NH for this reason but love reading everyone stories being success or failure. By the way I've learned more about my tractor from you folks than any dealer could ever tell me. One for all folks, dont ever buy the light kit, for $25 at NAPA you will have 2 halogen lights, Tie into the white wire on the hazard lights.
