John Deere Utility Tractors Recalled

December 23, 2003

John Deere Utility Tractor John Deere & Co. is recalling about 4,000 Ten Series compact utility tractors because of a transmission problem that could prevent the transmission from returning to neutral after the pedals are released, allowing the machine to unexpectedly move forward.

The company said it has received several reports of such incidents but knows of no injuries.

The following model and serial numbers can be found on the serial number plate on the tractor frame:

Model	Serial Range
4210 CUT with HST	LV4210H220677 through LV4210H221025
4310 CUT with HST	LV4310H232267 through LV4310H233638
4410 CUT with HST	LV4410H241367 through LV4410H241821
4610 CUT with HST	LV4610H260774 through LV4610H260906
4710 CUT with HST	LV4710H270806 through LV4710H271286

The tractors were sold by authorized John Deere dealers nationwide and in Canada from April 2001 to August 2003 for between $18,000 and $27,000.

Consumers should stop using their tractors immediately and contact a John Deere dealer for a free repair.
