That large of leak would sure be aggravating enough to want to fix. Finding them can be tricky and I'm not aware of a dye or colourant that makes it easier but who knows.

I'm guessing that the leak stops after the tractor sits awhile and it sounds like it's a large enough leak so it wouldn't take long to see it dripping. If it continues to drip then the leak is likely in the cases below the oil level--suction line fitting possibly or possible an oil cooler return. If the leak eventually stops, then it probably in a hydraulic system--possibly lift or HST.

I think I'd clean the tractor very well (there can be some problems with pressure washers discussed in the archives) and then run it for a short time and watch for drips. If there aren't any I drive it a short ways and again watch for drips. If it only leaks after being driven than I guess something related to the HST (if it has one). If it still doesn't drip, I'd drive it under heavy load for awhile.

If you start with a clean tractor you might have some success tracing oily area back to the leak. If not identifying when it leaks would help identify likely candidates.

I tried 2x4,4x4,High range, Low range with same results.
I am now convinced that something internal has headed west!
It may have a discombobulated scanitctadoink or something!

The durability of this make of tractor has become almost legandary in these parts but I am begining to think that no manufacturer has the right to make a toughness claim of their product untill I have used it for ten minutes without a failure!
Service guy from dealership coming after it today. Thank goodness for warranty!
I will let you know what broke as soon as I find out.
Thanks for input guys.

$kubotaguy, Why would you want to buy a 100 gig hard drive when you could get a 99.00 DVD burner and burn your pixes on 4.7 gig DVD-Rs or RWs. I could store with 20 DVDs what you would do with a 100 gig hard drive at a fraction of the cost and I would never worry about a hard drive crashing!!!! I just bought an internal DVD DUAL+- WRITER at Comp USA for 99.99 after rebate. No need for a HUGE hard DRIVE. IF you are taking an average of .5 meg per high resolution digital stills, do the math and see how many you can get on a 4.7gig DVD disc. Does your math say you get over 9000 pictures per 4.7gig DVD disc????? 5 DVD-RW would give you 45,000 high resolution still pics. Still want to buy THAT 100 gig hard drive???? I couldn't take 9000 picture in my lifetime let alone what 5 DVD-RW discs could hold. A 4.7 gig DVD is over 6 times larger than a CD-R and RW too.$ New Digital Camera
