Neighbor has a 323D track machine that is a couple of years old (less than 300 hours). I replaced the fuel filter tonight and noticed that the coolant reservoir was empty. Clearly that doesn't just happen - something is going on. It had a code on the engine but apparently that was the fuel issue. It had done that once before and Deere fixed it with a filter.
I topped the coolant off. When idling there was a steady bubble coming up through the connection hose. It wasn't slurping down coolant it was just steadily letting a bubble through. I am positive I could smell coolant in the exhaust every so often.
The oil is not milky or frothy. Anyone heard of anything happening to these engines? Must be a head or gasket issue and not liner oring I'm guessing? It is a 2011 and she's pretty sure warranty is done on it.
