So I looked into My tractor and deere wants 3300 fir a new motor...guys are telling me to not even bother to fix it. I did a compression test..left hand cylinder is l very low. I think I'll just tear into it myself and see what happens.

Looks like I will be taking it into deere to see what they can do.. It aslo has a stuck diff lock on ... so they can figure that out to.

Well its still smoking since there is so much oil in the throtle body...I had to take the plug out of the rh cylinder since it was only running on the lh cylinder... it was covered in sludge. This isnt oily fume... its straight oil spraying out. My whole engine is coverd...

So I took it off... dont even have to go mow... its blowing oil out of the tube like crazy!

So if it is over pressurized .... why?

You mean under the air cleaner? There is the black tube that goes to the crankcase

SO my 445 decided to start puking oil into the air box throttle body and is going through oil like crazy. I have been reading about it being either rings.... or a plugged vent? Where is this vent tube located on the kawi engine?
