It was using oil and losing power these last few weeks.
I sent it to the dealer who discovered a dirt "film" in the throttle body area.
Dealer tore it down to find severely scored cylinder walls, and oil entering one head. They thought it was cracked.
Deere corp said to drop a new complete engine in so, one will arrive next Tuesday.
This was used on the farm to spray with, pick rocks, fence, ect,ect. Occasionally running as fast as it would go to the other farm.
It got its air cleaner serviced and swapped out regularly.
Going to do some heavy soul searching about this. The warranty will be up in 6 mo. The extended one. Without it the cost to replace would be prohibitive, and if this is going to happen again, well...
Right now I am leaning towards a sale. Anyone interested? $14000 Sport with ALL the bells and whistles!
