I received specs and information from AGCO tech, Paul Erwin, in the mail Saturday. I missed Paul's follow up phone call Monday, but got his second call this morning. We had a productive conversation, although we disagreed on some points and agreed on others. Paul tells me the wheels are turning...

Designed in Japan by Japanese engineers and built in a factory in Indonesia for the 1825e.

With a differnece of 3/8" camber on one side a misalignment of gears can be a great problem. The gear mesh is not true. There will be gear stress on the front end four wheel drive axle. With the gears binding a mechanical failure will show up at some place. Since the gears in the front end are...

I have been waiting on a call from AGCO Massey Ferguson customer service. I have not gotten a call back yet. I called them 5 minutes ago and they said they would escalate the concern, which is what they say each time.

The argument is not over positive camber. I like positive camber: steering is easier and the steering knob is not needed. Those knobs will break your wrist. THE PROBLEM IS: the wheels are not symmetrical to each other. One side is 3/8" greater in positive camber than the opposing side. The front...

Thanks Doc. I am surprised myself. I often wonder if Boast Enterprises - Bourbon, Mo. would have stepped up in my behalf and asked AGCO Massey Ferguson for another tractor things may have different. What your suggesting is right, but why can't people do the right thing? Why does it have to be a...

Doc, I have no warranty paperwork. I have been asking for it and asked in writing for months. I checked camber by pulling the tractor up on my level shop floor. Using a 4' level and holding it at exactly plumb and measured with a stick rule off of wheel bead. One side, obvious to the eye, it is...

Friday, September 15, I got a call from the AGCO tech, Paul Erwin. This is the same tech that adjusted the toe-in at the Boast Enterprise dealership. He adjusted the toe-in and said that corrected the camber. Well a month later he is still telling me the same thing and that the tractor is within...

Thanks Doc.

I talked to Steve at AGCO, customer service represenative, last week. He agreed the Massey Ferguson 1825 e is defective and said he would be back in touch with me. I have not heard from him

Yes Doc, these are the disciplines of vehicle front ends with steering. I have done some work for Hunter Engineering, St. Louis, Mo. Hunter Engineering is world wide recognized for their expertise in front end alignment equipment and training front end techs & mechanics. If you go into...

In general Massey Ferguson or AGCO is not addressing the camber factory defect with this 1825 e.

Okay Doc, I called a Missouri Massey Ferguson dealer and politely gave him my situation. He was very defensive. I apologized for upsetting him and told him I would not bother him again. He offetred no help and I doubt that any others are going to be of help. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well Doc you are correct about poor service, both from Boast Enterprises in Bourbon Mo. and AGCO (Massey Ferguson) Based in Duluth, Georgia. That is exactly why I am on this forum to get help with the 1825 e factory defect. I will take your suggestion of calling a reputable Massey Feguson dealer...

Yes I have looked at all their tractors on their gravel lot. I would only be able to "eye" them up. At that time there was not another 1826 e on the lot. Pulling them into their shop for measurement would be out of the question. Here is copy of receipt, attached. I wrote AGCO Massey Ferguson...

Hi Doc, thanks for the questions. How are you? The tractor is at Boast Enterprises in Bourbon, Mo., about 20 minutes away. It has been there since May. The 1825 e Massey Ferguson was here for only two days. The tractor is new with 3 hours on it. The 3/8" positive camber difference is easily...

Hello all ! I bought a new 1825 e Massey Ferguson tractor. This tractor has a positive camber on front wheels. There is a 3/8" difference in the positive camber from one side to other. That has been verified by Massey Ferguson (AGCO) tech and the dealership owner and his mechanic. The AGCO tech...
