Blow by gases include water vapor that condenses in a cold engine/crankcase vent on start up until the engine operating temperature is reached. Then most of the water exits as a vapor. Two or three drops is not an alarming ammount from the crancase vent. Since you didn't see water in the oil you drained out(I presume the engine sat for a while to let any water/coolant settle before you did this check.)it doesn't sound like you have any kind of a major leak. Crankcase vents need to be kept clean so they don't pressurise the crankcase as that can cause problems if they clog. Long periods of inactivity for the tractor can allow mud daubers and other insects to take up residence in the breather tube, causing it to plug. Oil in the coolant usually shows up at the radiator filler neck and can be plainly seen.
Diesel oil can turn pretty black after an oil change because of the soot in the blowby gas that accumulates in the engine.
The Idle can be adjusted to a lower level.
It's not uncommon for a canopy to vibrate at certain engine speeds and at certain ground speeds. There are certain critical speeds where vibrations can peak and cause the sheet metal, etc to vibrate. As far as noise, tractor engines are noisey.
If it is missing, that's another issue. It could be a faulty/dirty injector.
Make sure that you check the air filter to make sure it is clean and have the fuel filters been changed recently? Clean air filters are a must on a diesel. Fuel filters are also important to so that you can maintain proper fuel delivery and have clean fuel.
You'll need to get some manuals for your tractor; Operating, Shop Manual and a Parts Manual if you intend to work on it. The factory manuals are the best and the most expensive, but they will pay for themselves.
As far as the alternatorr, depending on how it's wired, it made need to get up to speed before it "self excites' and starts charging. What does the oil pressure look likewhen the engine is warmed up? Have you worked the tractor yet? It wouldn't be a bad idea to try to work it and get it up to temperature.
Make a list of all your problems so you can talk to your dealer about them and have him deal with them. I can'rt stress getting the manuals so you'll understand more about your tractor. You are apparently new to them and do not know what to expect. Do some research about how your model should be operated. Hope this helps you.
