I was pulling a 5 foot rotary mower through thick weeds yesterday when my MX5100 diesel died and started smoking a lot, all over the engine. It would barely turn over at that point. I waited 45 minutes and got it started. It seemed normal after a minute of smoking.
I think the temperature gauge is broken. I saw some new smoke coming out in advance but never thought about overheating.
I started it again just now and it smoked a lot for a minute and then was fine.
Should I be worried about antifreeze in in the oil? Any other concerns?
