Mowing FD611V

[L D Clemons]

My John Deere GX345 has a Kawasaki FD611V engine which starts burning oil when loaded down when the mower is engaged. Any one know what would be wrong with the engine?

How many hours on the engine?
Have you done a compression check?

Are you sure it is "burning oil" or just loading up with gas?

It has 620 hours, compression check was good and it is burning oil.
Thank you

Broken ring maybe, but wouldn't think the compression would be good.
But if burning oil, it is getting past something.

It is a very strange sympton, will post something when I get it solved.
