 Smoking JD L130

My L130 has 80+hrs and still smokes upon starting, and always backfires when I shut it off. Bought it from a JD dealer and the service department is superb, however, thay continue to shake their collective heads on this one.

 Smoking JD L130

You are basically out of luck. I started this string a year ago and my L130 still smokes, and now has over 200 hours. A local engine repair guy said JD had a special kit with better bolts and a gasket, but my JD dealer didn't know anything about it. In fact, they worry the cheaper L tractors are going to cost business on the more expensive JDs. And it's easy to see why...not only does it smoke, but the wiring harness has no protection and rubs on sharp engine parts and the springs on the deck rub too. I lost one of those. Good luck.

 Smoking JD L130

I have a 2-month old JD L130 purchased from HD that also smokes. Called our regional JD dealership, was told that smoking upon start-up and for the first minute or two is normal as the design of the Kohler allows for oil from the breathers (I may have my terminology mixed up) to drip into the intake. He said there haven't been any issues with the 23 horse Kohler for the last 8 years or so. Before that they had an issue where the head bolts bottomed out in their respective holes before the head gasket was adequately compressed. This has been fixed (by using shorter head bolts). I was told to monitor oil consumption, but not to worry unless it exceeded 1/3 quart every 6 hours.
