Dealer still hasn't called about when he can get to tractor. My husband loosened the drain plug in the oil pan, and only oil came out. However, when he cranked it and held a cup under the vent pipe (the engine blow-by as we always called it-not the radiator overflow), he got three drops of water pretty quick, and they taste sweet. He is thinking of pulling the valve cover to see if it looks like green water is in there. To answer some of your questions, they had just changed the oil, but I did look at it when we first saw the tractor, and it was just very black, not milky. The coolant that came out did not look rusty or anything. Seems to be a little oily film on top, but that might have been in the bucket that we caught it in. After, changing the coolant, my husband drove it about 200 yrs to put it back in the shed, and it blowed a big wad of greenish, slimey, watery looking stuff out the vent pipe. That really shook us up, and that is when I called the dealer.
The tractor is idling too fast about 10. (I think they may have done that to try to get the Alt. light to go out. It still won't till it hits about 12.) It has a kind of poof sound to the exhaust, if you know what I mean. The exhaust o-ring was gone and so was the muffler at first and so loud you could not hear anything. They replaced both with new, but there is still the poof or popping sound, not the smooth sound of a good running diesel. It sounds like it is missing. Sitting on the tractor while it is running, it sounds like a jet plane (very loud) but standing beside it, it does not. My husband pushed up on the canopy while sitting in the seat and that helped, he said. This is the first tractor we have ever had with a canopy (This is a factory metal canopy), is it normal for them to vibrate, or is it the tractor?
Just thought I would try to tell you some more details so you might help us figure out something. We kind of figure that we will probably tear it down ourselves and put an engine kit in if we have to go into it, and we're afraid not to. I know that it will take a long time and a lot of calling to ever get the dealer on it, and then he will just want to fix one thing.
