John Deere 5055E blow by tube

[fieldman12]

I have a new Deere 5055E with maybe six hours at most. I noticed today the blow by tube comes out between front of engine and water pump fan and does not extend down to bottom of tractor. I noticed that I'm getting a little blow by and the fan is slinging it up on the inside of the hood a little. Anyone elses Deere doing this a little? I would not say it's bad but I did notice it. I'm sure it needs worked hard to seat the rings. I have no clue why they did not try to route the tube another way and down to bottom of frame.

I think you will find that after the rings are seated that it will be a minor inconvenience. My older tractors did have the tube extending lower on the engine.
