    B2400 - overheats when mowing after ~20 minutes

    Gear box

    It is open to allow any water or oil to escape. Plug it and soon you will have a contaminated clutch. It is the bell housing covering the clutch. The oil could be coming from the rear engine seal or the front transmission seal. A small amount, I would just accept it. Dave

    Glow plug controller

    I am the one who happened to learn about my M7040 GP trick which I have posted on the forum several times over the years.

    FOLLOW UP AND NEW QUESTION. Tractor dies, then starts right back up?

    AS a cheap first attempt, remove both battery cables and completely polish any metal surface including the ground to frame. I have seen worse "top of battery" photos but certainly your could be better! Dave
