My mother just purchased a used 60" swisher king ranch pull behind
It needed a new drive belt. So I matched up what I thought is the right drive belt size where it was free when not engaged, and was not too loose/tight when blades engaged (44" drive belt)
Its a 12.5 Briggs elec start engine. Runs great and no issues and no smoke until you engage the deck. Then it smokes (white smoke) like crazy!!
Took air cleaner off and seen oil everywhere.
The oil comes from the pvc tube or Crankshaft breather tube. But only when its under load. When its not mowing or the deck disengaged, it runs great with no smoke.
Anyone have ideas here? I cant see it being the rings, but you never know. Maybe crank breather is bad? I took it off to inspect and the baffle does move in and out. Can anyone assist???
