Took possession of a new L2501 today. Overall, I like what I'm seeing except...I noticed the right axle appears to be weeping oil. The bolts have clearly been off. Unfortunately this was noticed after I signed and the delivery guy left. I considered that maybe the set up guy spilled UDT while filling so I wiped it down really well and drove it some. Felt around and got a little more oil. Seems to weep just a tiny bit during operation. Before reaching out to the dealer I'm going to watch it a little longer to make 100% certain it's not just spillage oozing out. Anyone else take possession of new equipment with evidence of repairs?
New L2501! Well kinda...

I believe they are shipped without the right hub assembly not installed, dealer installs it after uncrating. It doesn’t appear that they used silicone to seal it before they installed it

If not mistaken I believe that the L2501 is shipped with the right front axel disassembled with dealer doing that final assemble.
My brand new L2501 had the right tie rod end falling off the very first time I backed it of my garage. The tech at the dealership neglected to install the crown nut and cotter key, plus the toe in was not set. The dealer sent a tech out and promptly corrected all of the above.
