Lemon Law?

Does this apply to tractors too? I have a friend thats got a 6600 John Deere, has had four motors put in it in 400 hrs.
 
I think it's a combine...Not sure how old it is though..I don't think it's a real current model..What are they doin' wrong ?? Maybe a tried and proven 404 ??
 
late 70's combine or a spray rig from the 90's. i think lemon laws only apply to "new" vehicles
 
The 6600 German-built tractor was made from 93-97,so it"s at least 13 years old.No lemon buy-back on that one.

What is going bad on the engines? Sounds peculiar.
 
My point(s) exactly. There's an old 6600 antique combine but he did say "tractors". If that's the case, I think JD stopped making them around 1997. John Deere is good but I don't think they have 13-14 year warranties. Just my guess. My guess also is that we're dealing with a troll.
 
To the best of my knowledge, all so-called lemon laws apply only to automobiles and light trucks.

Maybe Animal's talking about JD engines. He's appears to have been here a while, but we'll start out calling everybody a troll.
 
Are you suggesting that a troll is sabotaging the engines in the 6600 JD TRACTOR as described?

In the 10 years Animal has been here on YT,I've never heard him make mention of having a troll problem on the farm.................
 

Had a neighbor who bought a new self propelled haybine many years ago go through 3 motors before they found the problem. It was a bad ground between the motor and frame and it would wipe out the bearings.

Is the motor getting rebuilt or is it a crate motor getting put in?
 
I am sorry fellas, This is a 6600 series tractor, a 6605 I believe, this neighbor kid bought it this spring, when he set out his first round bale with it the drive shaft went south and they came and got it to fix, he hooked a bush hog to it and did not get it to the field when the engine started to get tight, and I might add at this point, it had a crate engine put in it at time of purchase, their has been four more put in it since then. This guy is forty years old and not hard on equipment, all this tractor is used for is to mow rake and bale hay...what this guy has gone through is just a shame, to the defense of the dealer they have been real good to provide him with tractors while his has been in the shop.
 
Should have filed against JD and the dealer on the 2nd engine or went to another color. JD really doesn't care either BTDT.
 
The engine's gotta have some sort of warranty to it...

How the heck would a bad ELECTRICAL ground cause an engine to wipe out MECHANICAL bearings??? That's absurd.
 
I would stay away from all of the low end John Deere tractors. If you want cheap then buy some off brand. If you want good then buy the main line name brand. Those 6605 are made in Mexico. They are built to different specifications than the US or German made tractors. I know that salesmen will tell you they use the same components. That is BS. In the repair manual it give different specs and tolerances. STAY Away from the 05 and 03 series tractors. 05 Mexico and 03 India.
I pretty much used to bleed GREEN but I am lossing the feeling. After JD really messed over two very good smaller local dealers and made them sell to one big regional one. I don"t really care for the company anymore. They think that they just need to sell to the big boy anyway. So us smaller guys will just do business else where.
 
My info shows the John Deere 6605 to have been manufactured in Mannheim, Germany from 1998-2002. The 6603 was manufactured in Saltillo, Mexico. Both have 6 cyl diesel engines with 414 cu in of displacement and 4.19 in bore with 5.00 in stroke. Both are turbocharged. Both carry the designation "6068" except the 6603 has a "T" after it which I believe means "turbocharged" even though both have turbochargers.
 
I take it then, that this tractor is older with a new engine in it. Maybe a reman from Deere. They are pricey but I would certainly expect better results than what you've seen. Lemon law might apply to crate engine but if it's a Deere crate engine, installed by Deere, then Deere should stand behind it for at least a year or whatever the warranty states. Those engines have to be registered when purchased but I would think the dealer took care of that. As far as lemon laws, they probably vary from state to state. My neighbor purchased a new tractor some years ago and when it went in for transmission repair for the third time he told them he wanted a new tractor. They told him "No, we have one more shot at repairing it". When he got it back after the third repair he traded it in on another make. It sounds like, and I remember this from somewhere, that the company involved gets three chances to repair the problem before lemon law takes effect.
