I bought a 1996 JD GT275 lawn tractor back last summer, it has a problem I cannot figure out. When I first start it up, it is full of oil it will puff out a little blue smoke for a few seconds, after 30-45 minutes of running, the oil light will come on first at idle and then it will come on at full throttle. Several times it has even started knocking, I can put in a little oil and its ok for awhile longer. Even after it has knocked, the next day it starts up and runs good again. I checked the compression and it was 100-105 psi. I don't know where the oil could be going, i'm about ready to put another engine (has a Kawasaki 18 hp on it) on it, any ideas or thought would be appreciated, its a great mower and does a really good job.
