Twig,
I think you have your answered your own question as to why the dealer wants to see the tractor.
How does the dealer know that it was not leaking prior to your purchase of the tractor and the prior owner just told you to wait a while and get it replaced under warranty? This happens in the auto industry probably more often than admitted to. It probably has nothing to do with you, but with the prior owner. The dealer does not want to be charged back and then not be able to collect from you.
How about asking the dealer to let you replace the part (after paying for it), send them the old, and then if they get reimbursed from Kioti you get your money back? Yes, I know you are taking a risk but it is an option that I have heard many truck (class 6,7,8) and car dealers offer to customers. I have even seen where the dealer sends a check to the customer after they get reimbursed.
Just an idea.
