Our 9860 STS 2006 model combine had a water pump bearing failure.
Is this a common issue with this motor? Was or is there any update to this stupid designed water pump? Having trouble justifying the $75000 quoted by dealers for a reman engine, when if we had been told to replace pump at 3000 hrs for $700. Does other JD 12.5l engines fit?
It used to be John Deere green for go. Our current fleet of John Deere equipment is very unreliable and is costing us a small fortune in repairs and the service from John Deere....well is at best poor. If anyone has any ideas that would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
