Hello guys,
I have a b2920 with 73 hours on it. I had the 50 hour service done in May at the dealership. I have not used the tractor in probably 6 weeks due to the change in weather and not needing to mow. I went to put the rear blade on it to get it ready for snow season this morning. I checked the hydrostatic level and it is barely above the first notch. Admittedly, I dont check it every time I use the tractor, but seems to me it is usually halfway between the notches at least (not sure)
On the engine oil dipstick the oil is real dark looking. I get a small plume of black smoke out of the pipe when I first start it and then it goes away after a few seconds. It does not smoke when running after that. Tractor seems to run fine.
Should I ask the dealer to come take a look. Will they send someone out to look at it or will I have to transport it into the dealer. Will this cost me or will they look at it for free if under warranty.
Thanks again, sorry for novice questions as I am relatively new to tractor owning.
Matt
