I'm hoping someone can help me answer what I think is a fairly simple question in regards to a BEFCO Series C30 finish mower.
I own a BEFCO C30 Rear Discharge finish mower and I have noticed that I am leaking gearbox oil out of the breather cap on top of the gearbox.
I use the mower on a hill and I suspect that the oil that is leaking out (not a whole lot) is a result of the slope of the hill and the oil sloshing around in the gearbox when it is on the hill.
I keep the oil level in the gearbox between 1/2 and 2/3 full (as recommended in the owners manual) but I notice a slight amount of gearbox oil on the top of the mowing deck after I mow the slope.
Does anyone know if this is normal?
Thanks in advance for your help with this question.
