Hey folks,
my "new" tractor has about 25 hours or so since new pistons, rings, cylinders, and bearings.... Has used just under a quart (3/4)of oil. Is this normal for a "new" motor? Really likin this thing..Especially since I put the cab on....
 
(quoted from post at 06:41:54 11/30/11) dave, a fresh rebuild will use oil until the rings get broke in. take "er out and work "er for a while, that will help break in the engine. keep an eye o the oil level and the oil pressure.

been working good..... only has an oil light that stays off, so guess I'm OK ....

Thanks.

Drop the oil and replace with what ever you use. By now the oil has collected the junk left via the over haul. Less cost in new oil and filter that a sour engine.
 
IT is usual for a new motor to use oil for a while. Try not to idle the motor for long periods until you have a few hundred hours on it. Also if you can make it work hard for a while it will help the rings to seat. Even just driving it up a bigger hill to make it pull will work. Also ask your mechanic if he put break-in oil in it. IF so it will make the motor use more until it is broke in. If he put regular oil in then I would run it until 50 hours and then change it out with your normal oil.
