Tractor now has 3.8 hrs on it..Started emitting white followed by blue smoke when it is 1st started..Then clears up to very little blue smoke..When it is started after sitting for more than 30 minutes, white followed by blue smoke is seen and it sounds like the cylinders are "Loaded" with diesel..It takes a few seconds for engine to smooth out..This all started when it had just 1 hr on it..Dealer says this is happening because it is not "Broken in, rings not seated"..Says I need to run tractor hard for about 6 - 8 hrs..The problem is, I don't use the tractor that much, no need for it..I will do good to put 10 hrs a month on it..I had my other tractor for 22 yrs and only put a little on 1000 hrs on it..I feel like it is an injector problem because of the White smoke (excess fuel symptom)..I would go along with the "break in" answer if it was only a little Blue smoke..When tractor is running, you can smell diesel coming from the exhaust..
Any one else experience this problem with their 5205?..
