I'm coming up to the 50hr mark on my new TN65.
I was bush hogging the other day and noticed something dripping, just a little, on the steering hydraulics. A quick check found that there was there was a small seep at the fitting on top of the main hydraulic pump. This doesn't seem to cause any problem with the hydraulics operation and fluid level is still normal. The main thing it does is act as an "enhanced" dust and trash catcher.

The tractor is under warranty so the dealer will come out and fix it, no problem. He also said that they had several of the TN series tractors show that same problem after a bit of breaking in.
I was just wondering if any other owners here had seen the same thing.

Regards,

I've seen it on TN's and TL's. Probably a pinched o-ring, assembly error. The thick chassis paint kept it bottled up for a while.
