Quote: CVPost-mtf (quoted from post at 15:43:35 08/14/21) Have you tried changing fuel filters?
I have a fuel filter on the shelf so I can do that. I did oil and filter changes shortly after I got it last year with no change. I'll put that on the list for next weekend.
It is a 4.5L 4 cylinder turbocharged diesel. Oil level has stayed pretty consistent, but doesn't look a lot thinner. I know that doesn't make a lot of sense if it's burning oil. Let me check it tomorrow and report back. Wife ran it for two hours mowing today but that's when it burns the least. It takes 10 quarts of oil and when I changed it last fall I used 2 quarts of engine restore and the rest was rotella T6 15w40.
If it was an injector that was always leaking I feel like it wouldn't idle clean. I'll do a few things over the next week, research in to valve guide symptoms and report back. Appreciate the help.
Edit: just FYI I bought the tractor at auction last year. Been like this since I got it. Has 1400 hours, meter works and body condition is fair so probably accurate.
