Snapping noise in front and rear ends
I have a JD 620i that I have had back to the dealer four times to try to find the snapping noise in the front and rear end. Granted the help there can't be that good because they tell me to pick it up and the noise is so bad it is embarrasing to drive, they get a sheepish look on their face and drag it back to the shop. It sounds like bearings piling up or CV joints going out. When I tell them this I just get the boy are you dumb look. It started at 20 hrs and now it is really bad, I can't seem to get any closure on the problem. It is back in the shop again as I write. They don't deny the noise but nobody seems qualified to find it and fix it any one hear of this problem before? A friend of mine bought one the same day and he has 35 hrs on his and it is starting to do the same thing.

Snapping noise in front and rear ends
The shop just called me on Friday and told me it was ready to go and that they had put a new rear end in it and the problem was gone. I went in to pick it up and took it for a test drive and it never made fify feet before it started again. The noise was gone in the back but still persists BAD in the front end. Still nothing solved as of today. Shop foreman was pretty speachless when I took him for a ride, he was contacting JD rep again today.

Snapping noise in front and rear ends
Hi George:
After 8 times into the shop and two new axles,4 new CV joints and numerous bolts tightned, My Gator was still so bad it was embarassing to drive in public with the snapping noise. John Deere had my Gator more than I did for a whole year with no sucess. At the end two weeks ago they were getting pissy with me for keeping bringing it in because they had bigger things to work on like combines, so I finally fixed the problem and traded the damn thing in for a Bobcat 2200. Good luck with your snapping because JD dosnt have a clue how to fix it and you will have to live with it. My 2 cents worth is it is a poorly designed machine. The final thing they will tell you is just keep driving it until something breaks then we will know what to replace. I was very dissappointed with JD for not stepping up to the plate and taking them back and giving the guys who are having the problem a replacement. We bought two at the same time and they both do the same thing. Now two Bobcats are in their parking spots. Sure would like to hear from some JD reps on this board to try and convince us were not all crazy. Everyone who has this problem is treated like they are the only one it is happening to in the thousands of units they sell. They should read up on the internet about their own products and they can see there are many like this out there. I had to show my own salesman what others have said about it on the net before he even believed me there was a problem. Thanks TP for giving us this site to find out that other people experiance the same thing with our units.

Snapping noise in front and rear ends
So...I see my little question sorta got sidetracked with English and spelling lessons but thats ok cuz I can't spell or read to good anyway. Did ANYONE ever get any satisfactionn from their JD dealer on their problems or are you all still taking it in the shorts with excuses and a clunking snapping Gator still in your backyard?? Just wondering if I was the only guy out there with one and it sounds like not. My JD dealer still won't wave to me on the road so looks like I am not in his good graces for getting rid of the clunker and getting a Bobcat 2200. FYI, I really like it so far except the seat is a little hard other than that I give it two thumbs up so far. I have 55 hrs on it and no strange noises and lots of power with great visibility. I wish I would have bought it with a cab but that is hindsight. Thanks for all your help TP and I wish the guys who are still getting the smokescreen best of luck... Wervey
