My L2501 has a vent tube off the front axle. The L2502 I am buying doesn't seem to have any axle vent. Anybody know why they have removed them? Thanks

They put them on, they take them off, they put them on, they take them off, they put them on, they take them off..........
They have done that for years, with no rhyme or reason.

It would seem like common sense to vent it. The vent is cheaper than leaking seals.

The standard L series had a vent hose that ran up into the engine compartment, I do not know on the other series.
