D17 Series 1, dripping from the coupler spring

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I still haven't had my new to me tractor out in the dirt yet, been working on it inside this winter... I started it up and let it warm up for 30 min or so (as I have put in a carb kit and new muffler and wanted to see how it ran) and lifted the hydraulic arms a couple times just to test them out.  Later that day I noticed a small 5 inch dia puddle right below the center of the tractor and looks like whatever is leaking is leaking onto that big spring and then down to the ground.  You think this is anything I need to be concerned with?  Obviously need to check my levels whenever I use it.

Thanks,

	Leaks never get better over time. Sooner or later it should be addressed. Based on your description, it is hard to say where it is coming from.

	since you are inside it is a good time to get on your back with a bright light and track that leak down.
