Just bought a brand new Bad Boy zero turn mower from tractor supply 2 weeks ago. It has the 725cc Kohler V-twin, 7000 series. Love the mower....but used it today for the 1st time and after mowing notice oil leaking from the engine. Looks like from the top and running down. I didn't take anything apart to see because I didn't want issues with warranty. I called tractor supply and the manager was great - said there is a known issue with the Kohler and to bring it back and they will exchange it for another one. That is great service - I don't have to bother with dealing with the manufacturer and having my brand new under 5 hour mower messed with.
My question - does anybody know about this known defect?? What is the change my replacement mower will do the same thing?
