Hey, that's good news. I'm glad they found it and took care of you.

Good. Glad you got a first rate, full service, dealer and evidently close enough for you to use him. Soooo, any reasons offered for the injectors leaking?

Manufacturer defect I'm sure. I have yet to have seen an injector failure on these Tractors. Not common by any means.

So Glad the dealer took care of you!

It sounds like you got a bad batch of fuel at some point.
Very tiny droplets of water can emulsify in diesel fuel and go right through the filter.
These veryminute drops of water explode and makes tiny pits in the metal as they leave the injector.

This is why it is such a rare problem to see on diesels.
Stuck injectors are very rare but often traced back to a batch of bad fuel.

Thinking about this reminded me of a new house I bought. Front faucet leaked. Finally got the builder out to fix the problem......small "slag" of solder, from one of the sweat joints had lodged between the rubber seal and the brass seat. He turned the water off unscrewed the top, saw the problem, removed it and was gone in all of 10-15 minutes.

Possibly a mfgrng. chip of metal got wedged in the outlet; got by the cleaning operation. Those are probably outsourced so that could have happened to anybody, any brand.
