I put my snowblower on almost 2 months ago. Yes, early, but it was the weekend before I was scheduled for shoulder surgery and I knew I would be in no shape before snow flies to put it on later.
Anyways, I had been using the tractor a week before, trailered it from NJ to VT and reset for snow. Took the loader off, installed the snowblower and parked the tractor in its winter shed. Attaching and setting up the snowblower was all on my paved driveway, and it was only driven on said paved driveway into the concrete floored shed to await Old Man Winter.
Today I went out to replace the lower rear glass in the cab - it had been busted earlier when I foolishly didn't leave enough clearance for the PHD control arm...
Anyway, after I got that done I was fussing with some other minor stuff when suddenly I noticed a puddle under the tractor. Hydraulic oil. There were no drips in the driveway, or leading up to where it was parked in the shed.
While I'm in much better shape now, there is no way I was going to get under the tractor and figure out where the leak was, let alone fix it. So I loaded it onto my trailer and took it to the local Kubota dealer. I knew they would be closed by the time I could get there but had called and made arrangements to drop it.
There were no signs of any further leakage after starting it, driving it down our driveway, nor sitting on the trailer for the half hour it took to get it down there. It will be interesting to hear what they have to say. While I await their diagnosis - any thoughts?
