I have not been in here for a while, the old tractor has been doing pretty good. Baled a lot of hay with it already.
Today I noticed that some oil is coming down the back of the block, and rolling down the side of the bell housing. It appears that it is coming from the head gasket at the rear. Does anyone know if this is a known issue with these tractors. It does not look like a lot but enough for me to see and notice.
Also it appears to have a little bit of oil coming out the blow by tube. I mean after a full 8 hours of running it, it will drip a little bit. Is this something that I should be real concerned about, could it be related to the leaking head gasket?
On that same note, that dang foam stuff behind the engine, I've tried to look it up on JD but cant find it, anyone have a part number? And the only way I see to replace the foam is to pull the operator station out, is that correct?
Thanks guys.
