230C LC to 2554 Road Builder: owner reports

Sources: 3 forum discussions about the John Deere 892E excavators; heavyequipmentforums.com.

Leaking cooler couplers, tracking and a block heater port. An 892 whose hydraulic cooler couplers leaked again within weeks of replacement (a reply asked whether the two pipes were within 35 mm of each other and 6 mm of misalignment), an 892E with a tracking problem that a dealer and two independents had failed to cure, and an owner asking where the block heater port is. Threads read: 1, 2, 3.
