I decided the last thread was getting a bit "long in the tooth" so decided to open a new thread on this specific question.
TL1500 was delivered last Friday and mowed on Saturday. So far very happy. Main issues are operator related, since I've only mowed with a mid mount mower to this point.
The oil leak that others have mentioned is very strange though. Mower came filled with oil to what appeared to be the appropriate level by checking the dip stick. After only mowing for approximately 1 hour, a significant amount of oil had come out and leaked all over the mower. Easily 3 ounces.
It seems everyone feels this is fairly normal. Has anyone considered replacing the stock breather cap w/ a more normal solid plug? I presume this has been considered and summarily dismissed?
