I am betting it was engine coolant. I am not a Deere guy, but I don't think that they monitor oil temp. I would leave it parked until they pick it up. Last thing you need now is to create more problems with overheating it.
Yes, that’s the plan. They are picking it up Monday morning. It looks like it was engine coolant. I’m surprised they don’t have an engine temp or oil temp. Hopefully they can figure it out quick. Only bought the thing to clear my land.I am betting it was engine coolant. I am not a Deere guy, but I don't think that they monitor oil temp. I would leave it parked until they pick it up.

Yeah I’m not sure what the fan stopping would have to do with a filter? Can you explain? Let it cool all the way down yesterday to move it and the fan was spinning as it should. I’m not sure what I can check. I do have a temp gun but unsure on what/where to shoot.If the fan stopped, make sure they cut open the filter to inspect it. Make sure they save it for you to view. If it is clean, then the most likely culprit may be a piece of plastic shaving from the making of the reservoir jamming the fan control. If it is full of metal.....
They should also perform a charge pump pressure and flow test to make sure the charge pump is sound.
I understand. I wasn’t sure if the fan was electrical or hydraulic. That makes sense. Hopefully they can figure it out. Dealer has been good. They said they’re going to make it right.Temperature gun will not help with determining the cause of the fan stopping. The fan is stopping because there is debris getting into the fan solenoid causing the fan to stop. The fan should never stop turning, no matter how cold the engine or hydraulic system. The reason for cutting open and inspecting the filter is that the oil that leaves the fan motor goes to the hydrostatic charge filter. So, cutting open the filter to inspect it is to help find a clue as to the cause of the fan not turning.
Based on your serial number, you have high flow, and the 333G's have high flow pump issues. Inspecting the filter may reveal a pending failure. Let's hope that is not the case. Your machine should be new enough to have the more robust high flow pump.
Oh Boy!! Take lube with you!Once they replace that they will test and see if issue is resolved.
They are actually taking care of it. Whether that is the dealer or John Deere I’m not sure. Being that I just purchased it from the dealer and it was sold to me as it was working as it should when there is clearly an issue.Oh Boy!! Take lube with you!
I will ask. Just asked what was being done and the tech replied “I’m installing the truflow fan system upgrade”I’m sure they already have one going scene Deere is asking for oil samples, But make sure they have a DTAC case going on it. And if you want to keep them on their toes ask for a copy of it. Reading those usually can give you an idea of competence level of the Tech/Techs involved in the repair.
Spoke with tech more and there is no dtac case yet. Deere has not asked for the samples. I may have mis heard him. He basically said dtac is a last ditch if he is stumped. Right now they’re waiting on the fan parts from Deere and they will go from there.I’m sure they already have one going scene Deere is asking for oil samples, But make sure they have a DTAC case going on it.

The latest upgrade is a different fan motor and fan blade. It will raise the fan speed from approximately 2500 rpm to 3000 rpm. That is providing that the charge pump is putting out. They should have flow tested the pump to be sure it is sound.I will ask. Just asked what was being done and the tech replied “I’m installing the truflow fan system upgrade”
Deere has not asked for the samples.
Before I shut it down I hopped out to check the fan and it was not turning.
I believe they ordered the fan parts due to it being about 500rpm off of what it should be. Tech also said he is testing the charge pump this week just like you said to make sure it’s putting out. Not sure if they cut the filter. The fan stopped only once. Not sure why. Waiting to hear from tech to see what he finds on the charge pump. All I know is that they sold me the machine with the new mulching head and said it works as it should and it didn’t. Hopefully it has the more robust pump in it already and it isn’t failing but if it is they will take care of it. I hope.I don't think any dealer would supply a copy of the actual case. I wouldn't.

Also, they should have cut open and inspected the filter as well as performed an oil sample (I would not wait for Deere to ask for this).
New fan motor and fan blade might be a temporary fix if they do not find the source of the fan stopping.
Which is why they should be paying the bill for all of this.All I know is that they sold me the machine with the new mulching head and said it works as it should and it didn’t
Correct! And so far I haven’t heard a peep about them not covering the repairs. They have been great to work with honestly. I think they are short handed on experienced techs which is understandable in today’s world. The tech working my machine also is the field tech and he has been slammed with warranty work so I understand.Which is why they should be paying the bill for all of this.
