With about 10 hours on the clock ( 3 cuts of our 3+ lawn and maintained meadow) I was shocked to find the entire area under the hood covered with a coating of oil. After the cleaning and oil check, down about 1/2 pint, I gave it a close uneducated look see. The only thing I could find was the black plastic cover over the oil drain was not seated tightly. To inspect it I had to remove it .... and drain the oil as well. I appears that bout locking flanges are cracked ... the slots that pull it tight when the gizmo is twisted. The plug cover is made of the thinest stuff you could imagine! I've put it back on and replaced the oil and it appears not to be dripping ..... so far. My dealer is closed due to the floods here until Wed. so I'm on my own. Any suggestions? Anyone have access to part numbers for this thing or can point me toward a parts list?
Happy 4th!
