Hey guys, i have a b7100 with approx 800 hours on it.
There is a slight leak in the radiator that is getting fixed very shortly, it also needs a cap, but i watch the whistle very closely and its not over heating, maybe getting a little warm.
I just changed the Oil in it, with some kendall 15w-40 HD diesel oil and wix filter. It had im not sure what weight oil in it, but it was like water in it and a fram filter. It had this issue before, i changed the oil.
The issue is when i mow with it (rc60-71b deck) for approximately 30-45 minutes and i idle down the tractor to pick up a stick or something im going to mow over, the oil light will flicker or come on. It cools down, the oil light will be off again.
Yesterday when i mowed, got done, idle it down, the light came on, i shut it off. and was off the tractor for approx 3 minutes, fired it back up, and the light stayed off the rest of the day. 3 minutes isn't really enough time for it to cool down that much.
Could it be the sending unit?????? Cam Plug? I would put a gauge on it, but having issues figuring out what thread type that sending unit is, i know its metric but not sure what it is for an adapter. Also when i get the radiator out this eve, and take it to the shop to get the leak fixed (leaking around the top hose port) im going to put a new cap on it, new hoses and a new fan belt weather it needs it or not, the radiator is out and itll make it much easier to get to. Also going to get what I normally put in all my engines, 20w-50 Lucas Oil, and a Kubota filter.
