[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1714004, member: 26138"] If you're paying someone to work on them, potentially. Skilled labor isn't cheap, and there's a lot of it to do any kind of transmission work on them. Biggest things with quad range Deere's is the 2 speed and jumping out of ranges. Get the oil hot and make sure the 2 speed shifts firmly without any slipping, also make sure the tractor hydraulics (brakes, power steering, 3pt, etc) work normally in both high and low. A lot of times 2 speed problems won't show until the tractor has been worked for an hour or so and the oil is good and hot. Usually C or D range are the ones to have problems if someone has speed shifted them. Parts aren't that high but it is a lot of labor, since the whole rear end of the tractor needs to be disassembled, cab, rockshaft, final drives, 2spd/clutch housing, and the differential housing all need to be removed to work on the range box. If it jumps out of gear when the tractor coasts, run or negotiate big time. A permaclutch/2spd repair is not that bad, cab stays put, just split it at the bellhousing, the 2 speed will come out the front. Quads are kind of a crash box, but with a good operator they can last a really long time. Depending on the use, it could go 10,000+ hours without any work. [/QUOTE]
