I am looking for a used engine for a 900
Any one know where I can get one I have tryed goggle and no luck

 

[farmshop]

I know there is a used cutter parts place in Iowa,USA but i cannot remember the name of it.

 

[allandairy]

Tried then no one in Na has one it seams
You just don't want to get me going why in need one

 

[farmshop]

You are talking to a guy that had insurance put 70 grand into a 98 model 860 3 years ago after the cutterhead ate it self and destroyd the processor and everything else on the way out. So I know how fast things go tell **** on these machines

I think the place you mean is Iowa Cutter Supply. Their website shows some used engines but I didn't see any for a Claas

I had a guy put gas in it instead of Deasel and an looking at $600000 to rebuild and the insurance only wants to pay 36000
For some thing I did not do it has me mad

 

[Lee Laframboise]

Good luck they aren't cheap!!! unlike my sister inlaw

Good luck and you will need it. When our Mercedes motor on our claas 900 let go we looked into getting it rebuilt . Total price for complete overhaul was 62000 canadian. Brand new was 72000 and there were none in the US and they had to ship it from Germany.

He sounds like a smart one

Is that the V8 merc?? have you tried looking at truck wreckers that do european trucks

 

[allandairy]

A new drop in now is 90000
That's what I want but the insurance won't do it
The deale can get me one with more power cheeper but they won't go for that ether

 

[allandairy]

Looks good don't it

 

[allandairy]

Any one else get gas instead of Deasel from Pemana coop on the 30 - 31 of October

 

[Lee Laframboise]

90000!!!! **** they really upped in price

 

[allandairy]

That is Canadian
It is bad when u can get the hole chopper for 160000

I thought it was a worker that put in the wrong fuel but since it was a fuel delivery **** up i would be talking lawyers and stuff. Really that fuel supplier should be 100% liable and cover all costs for your new donk. Whether its out of their pocket or their insurance companies, someone else other than you needs to cough up the $$$$$$.

 

[allandairy]

I have been on the phone to lawyers and it is the betterment close I have to pay because of ware on it
I found it a big load of bs
I still have 3 trucks to go to it is looking like going to cost me a lot for some other guys f**k up

 

[Haystack]

Won't they pay for new pistons, sleeves, bearings, valves, injector tips and perhaps turbo seals, all installed? If so, I think that might be all that you need. It is possible some of your injection pumps were hurt also, but you likely have to get the the engines mechanically fixed to prove it, if they won't pay for pump inspections.

You need to come at them with the logic that new is $90 000 plus labour not a $60 000 overhaul. What I'm talking about above is little if any betterment from the good running engines that you owned.

I agree with Hatstack on this, get a better lawyer and make them pay. Insurance companies are famous for this nonsense, trying to save themselves some cash. The bottom line is, you had a usable piece of equipment before the screw-up and you should have one after at no expense to you. If you have other equipment that is affected it becomes more important to set precedence. You should have your lawyer push like **** to get this settled fast, throw replacement equipment rental costs at them.

 

[farmshop]

We were lucky our insurance adjuster didn't know much about choppers. They just called a couple dealers got some numbers and said fix it. If the fuel supplier dropped the wrong product I would think you should be able to get them to pay. Good luck

 

[allandairy]

It is Complete bs it will not cost me a thing if i or they can find a used engine
But as we can't find one I have to pay a % of the rebilled

 

[RWT]

How has your fuel supplier responded to this situation?Have they taken any responsibility for this?The trucks damaged as badly also? I hope you can get this resolved.
