Hi, this is my first post. Two months ago I purchased a new BX2360 with the 60 inch mowing deck. I have a 3+ acre lawn and I bought it for this purpose only. It has now 12 hours on the engine. The dealer is coming to pick it up on Thursday under warranty but I thought I would post the situation here because I'm really curious as to what it could be.
First of all, up until today, the performance has been incredible. I could not be happier with this unit. However, after mowing for about one hour today I looked down and noticed a black oily carbony "mist" deposit on the front and sides of the mowing deck and in the rims of the front wheels. The misting is a little denser on the left side of the tractor. I took some paper towels and wiped off the misting and within two minutes of mowing the oil was back. There is also some misting on the orange painted metal surface directly below the seat. I checked the engine oil level later on and it is fine. I am wondering if it is coming from the actual mowing unit.
I'm confident that the dealership will take care of it but I'm really wondering what it could be.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
