I've had my '99 NH 1920 for a few weeks now, and have put about 30 hours on it. Two things I've noticed that I'm wondering how much attention they need how soon:
1. Most of the time the tractor is running, I get white smoke from two of what appear to be crankcase breather tubes exiting on the right lower side of the engine, toward the rear, next to the oil filter. Engine runs smooth, plenty of power, nothing unusual from the exhaust stack. Seems a little excessive to be normal, although I'm new to diesels - my old Massey 135 was the gas version. Am I seeing a minor problem, major problem, or just a personality quirk?
2. The axle lock does not fully engage much of the time. With the pedal at the limit of travel, it feels like the gears a just making brushing contact but not engaging. Is this a simple linkage adjustment or a trip back to the dealer?
Thanks for any help TBN can give on this...
