Well, I thought I was going to stay immune to the problem of battery leaking/overflow, but alas, not. Checked under the hood yesterday only to find the radiator, some hydraulic hose fititngs, and other metal parts corroded due to fluid from the battery. Checked the battery and the fluid seems about right, but now I'm theorizing that the fan is virtually sucking any fluid that gets near the battery top, right out of the battery. I disconnected and shook the battery and nothing came out, so what else could it be? Didn't see any of this during the first 9 months of use but maybe I didn't bounce the tractor around as much as lately. Will be asking the dealer to replace the radiator and much of the metal and hydraulic lines at the front of the tractor. Jim (jinman) I know you had something similar, what has everyone else seen?
