I have had my 5083 for 6 months and it has 48 hours on it.
I cannot get it to stop leaking anti freeze. I find a loose hose clamp or something and I tighten it, and it springs a leak somewhere else.
The dealer came out this summer and said that the heater hoses were crossed, so he switched them. He said the factory messed them up and that was why I was having a/c issues.
I have had leaks in various places since.

Has anyone had this issue?
I have fixed 3 leaks so far and I am getting tired of it.
Also, for those of you that have these tractors, does your heater work good. I had mine out the other day, and I didn't think it was getting very warm.
Thanks,

Called the dealer and the service manager came out and sure enough, it is another hose leak. They must have built this one on a Friday, or Monday after a Holiday.
Anyway, he went around and tightened several others. All of them were loose.
Sort of frustrating.
