Hi All,
I bought this machine a couple of months ago. I am seeing exhaust come out of the breather tube. I have seen several posts about using MMO to unstick rings. For this tractor, it’s not burning any oil. I have changed oil and filters what is obvious to me is this machine was not maintained. I don’t know the exact hours because the hourmeter is broken. The engine oil was a deep black and the air filter had a date on it from 2012. The hydraulic fluid that came out was browned like coffee(picture below). I don’t seem to have a loss of power and the machine runs well no strange noises. I’ve seen a couple of products that say you should use a flush. My local Kabota dealer gave me some advice of to just start using the machine the way it was intended to run. Clearly, opinions will vary, but I’m just curious to see what others have had success with. Thanks for the input.
