RK24 ticking noise and blue/white smoke from exhaust-one time for 15-20 seconds

I have a Quick Attach bucket, picked up 9/06. I was told all coming out of FL plant were going to be Quick Attach at that time. Salesman actually contacted me and said my order was going to be a little more than expected as the Quick Attach was now added.

Update 10/22/18: Still no repeat of the smoking or ticking. Just finished a project using the tractor relatively hard and constantly for about 7 hours and did not have one problem. Still happy with my purchase.
