Re: 9750 grain tank failure
We had the same problem on our 01 9650sts at around 500 hours. The kicker is, we dont have a hopper extension on it and dont race the combine full across the field. Yet, we still had cracks popping up everywhere. Thanks deere for building a poorly built grain tank. We did get it fixed with John Deere's kit. But even now at 1100 hours, another round of cracks is developing in other areas of the hopper. Its not only limited to the hopper tank, but some cracks are developing as well along the rotor cages near the back beater area.
