Hi all, Not knowing much about diesel engines, my B7100HST (which has 1900 hours on it) is smoking blue smoke out the breather pipe constantly along with a smidgen of oil. Is it normal for the breather pipe to emit smoke continuously and oil droplets? The engine makes no unusual noises even at full throttle and uses about 1 quart of oil every 50 hours. My local dealer said "it is an older model and I wouldn't worry one bit, just run it" (maybe that was to coax me into purchasing a new model)? This tractor has been a fantastic tractor and if I have to get new engine, I may. I do push it alot however, I run the mower through 3 foot tall grass often to cut it down so I can mow it later correctly. Can anyone help with finding if it is a problem? If Vic can explain, I sure would appreciate it also. Any helpful hints would be well appreciated.
Thanks in advance quinka (Frank)
