For those of you that have the XR4046 with backhoe, after use you may want to check to see if you start getting leaks at the gasket underneath where the rear axle and differential case are bolted together.. After 4 hours of use mine developed a "seep" took it into the dealer to have them look at an unrelated issue, mentioned the seep and the mechanic said that the seep was due to the axle "flexing" due to the wide bolt pattern.
Also, I had taken the tractor in due to experiencing power loss to find out that the aftermarket "lockable" fuel cap wasn't allowing enough venting... So I learned 2 things....wish I had known about the flexing issue...but love the tractor otherwise.
