I recently brought my tractor in for repair of the PTO which was broken inside the transmission. The service writer gave me a quote for labor which was fair. When I picked it up, that’s where things went downhill. The throttle linkage fell off as I was loading it. A cotter pin was left off (not really a big deal) . When I got home, I then noticed that it was missing bolts holding the fender to the floorboards. A closer check I noticed that, even after completely tearing the transmission apart and putting it back together, and putting in all new fluid, they did not change the filter. Hindsight being 20/20, I’m glad they didn’t. When I changed it, I found the inlet of the filter full of sticks, pinestraw and dirt.

I don't recommend taking anything there for any reason no matter what...
