Changed the engine oil and filter, cleaned the air filer and radiator grill. I investigated my rear main oil seal leak and I think I have that fixed. I checked the bellows on my CDR-like valve, and checked the breather hose for obstructions such as a dirt dobber nest- all good. For some time now the dipstick has been real loose and sloppy in the tube. When newer, the dipstick was snug and provided an airtight seal. I installed two 006mm o-rings on the rubber portion of the dipstick; one o-ring in each groove and now it is good and snug. After running the engine for half an hour my rear main seal leak has stopped (let me know if anyone needs photos). I am so happy because I was not looking forward to splitting the tractor to access that seal.
