Afternoon happy forum goers.
I’ve an issue with a fitter I’ve had do repairs on a machine I’ve been chasing since October, made it very clear it needed sorting, after removing the brake valve and blocking off the breather on the transmission I’ve had no end of issues with the tractor. Such as oil firing out the dipstick, out through the top cross shaft on the linkarms out the bell housing and now the clutch is very sharp - as it’s pressurised from a tipping trailer when I’ve seen the dipstick become a jet line. He had originally said he’d sorted and ordered a new part for the machine after realising what had happened. But this took me to confront this owner to even get an answer. To then wait weeks and weeks for the store man to tel me who it had come off, so I decided to ring this supplier who said he hasn’t received any order off the firm.
very clearly have put in a letter that I would be looking at legal action against them. And that any outstanding money is parked until it’s sorted because what’s the incentive for you to sort it if I’ve paid you?.
Got a reply off them when I had to ring them that they would “hit” the machine this week. Strangely enough the weeks come and gone and we’ve hay to be getting on with.
do you name and shame this Company?
As they really don’t seem to care and I’ve been very reasonable over the matter but he’s taking the mick, and damages to the machine are a direct consequence of this. As it was fine prior to this hydraulically ( new pump fitted) which led to noise and vibration then led to pipes and valves being removed and plugs being put where they shouldn’t, we need the brake valve for the machine as towing is dicey on busy roads and I don’t want to rape the brakes on the tractor for the shear hell of it / legally.

I guess you’d need to live very close to the boss man to be able to do that though.
