    Sorry for the breakdown, but I agree with the other members who say most likely no long term damage was done to the engine.
    Although the fact that they took 3 thou off the head bothers me a little. But maybe they were being pro-active.

    By the way, my Dodge/Cummins pickup, with 429,xxx on the ODO sometimes smokes on startup for a short time in cold weather.

    With the head shaved, he will have a bit more power.

    The head most likely warped from the excess heat and that’s why it was planed. .003 isn’t very much really.

    I would ask for the warranty to be extended.

    Deere & Co. has recently recalled the John Deere 4044R, 4052R and 4066R compact utility tractors.

    The three utility tractors were part of a recall alert issued Oct. 31 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

    “Front cab support bolts that were torqued improperly during manufacturing can fail during a rollover, posing a crushing injury hazard to the operator,” the agency listed as the hazard that led to the recall.

    It was estimated there are about 5,700 of these types of compact utility tractors that were sold as well as about 1,650 in Canada.

    The serial number for the vehicles in the recall begins with 1LV and ends with a six-digit number that falls within the following ranges:

    * 4044R 400284 - 401619

    * 4052R 400381 - 403424

    * 4066R 401588 - 407220

    Consumers can contact an authorized John Deere dealer for a free repair, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The three types of compact utility tractors were sold nationwide from October 2016 through September 2019 for between $40,000 and $50,000.

    “This recall was conducted voluntarily by the company. We have a strong dedication to safety of our customers and work within the Fast Track Recall process of the Consumer Protection Safety Commission. In this process, John Deere commits to quickly announce a recall and the remedy for the issue to protect consumers," Deere & Co. Director of Global Public Relations Ken Golden wrote in a statement.
