Meade Tractor of Abingdon

"Great service, fast and friendly. Daniel helped me with buying a new John Deere and was very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly"

"Very helpful and friendly people. The gentleman that helped me also added a discount for a chainsaw I bought and when asked what the discount was for, he responded “because I can” without hesitation. Thanks to the friendly Meade employees for everything! I will be giving them more money in the future."

"This store carries about everything you could need for a John Deere. What they don't have they can order. If you own a Deere, you probably already know that you should be prepared to pay a high price for purchase or maintenance."

"Horrible place to have repairs done. Took my JD 445 mower there for head gasket replacement as I saw steam coming from the exhaust. They called me two weeks later and said one of the heads was cracked. I told them to put a new one on. Two-three weeks later I hadn't heard a word so I called and they said they couldn't fix it and to come and get my mower. I was told by the service manager (Rodney) that anti-freeze had slicked the cylinder wall on one side and there was no compression on that cylinder and the engine would have to be replaced. When I got the mower home and drained the oil from the engine, it was a pure white oil and antifreeze mixture. What a mess. Also, the engine and all wiring connectors were soaked with oil and antifreeze. I flushed the engine with kerosene and cleaned all the wiring connections. I took the mower to a friend that knows what he is doing and he immediately took the intake manifold off the engine and saw that the manifold gasket had been installed backward at Meade Tractor when the head was replaced. (See photo) This allowed the antifreeze and oil to mix freely. Also when they removed the old gasket, they had ground the end of the manifold and dished the center rib so that it couldn't seal properly. I had to replace the manifold with a new one. We then checked the compression and sure enough there was zero compression on the side where the new head was installed. He then removed the valve cover and discovered that the valves in the new head had not been adjusted even close. The gap was .010-.015 on both valves. He adjusted these with a feeler gauge to the correct setting and checked the compression. Yep, it was 165 pounds just like it should be. Meade Tractor had not even adjusted the valves! We put new oil and antifreeze in and fired it up. It runs great I mowed the lawn with it. You can bet that I will never take anything back to Meade Tractor for repair. Beware!!!"

"I recently bought a 1025r from Mead. My salesperson was KJ. Daniel and James had a hand in everything I needed and questions I had. These guys are top notch! I had an issue with the bucket that came on my tractor and they went above and beyond to assist me and take care of a “small problem”. They have a lifetime customer as far as I’m concerned and I will most definitely recommend people to this store. Thanks again for everything!"
