Loader 7800 smells like antifreeze when running??

[LD1]

Is the B7800 anything like the L3400? I'm not familiar w/ the B family but I ask because on my L3400 I thought I was smelling AF when it turned out to be a tiny hydraulic leak in the return line down near my right foot. Quite a common problem I've come to learn.
Just throwing out ideas for you cuz the smell was very similar.

No they are not anything alike.

And I guess to some, they "may" smell similar. But I dont think they do. JMHO

How's this for a guess....it may be over filled and going out the tube and dripping on something hot.

Tractor has never slept outside . Anti freeze is good to -40. Unit has 200 hours on it and never over heated. I live in NH and heat is never a problem. Merry Christmas.

I have had severial comments of smelling antifreeze when running low hour tractors and so far have fixed every one by tighting the hose clamps on coolant hoses. Having said that, it is feasable the shaft seal could be leaking at waterpump.
