New guy from North Georgia.

2 weeks ago I stumbled onto what I thought was a good deal.

I bought a used Ferris H3225K Serial # 911 with 1175 hours.
This is a 3 Wheel mower with a 25 hp Kohler, 72” cut.

Last week I noticed the left motor was leaking just a few drops overnight.

Then I noticed where I had cut my yard, there were some dead streaks where I had cut around small trees etc. Looking even closer, the streaks were a little more than wheel width from the edge of whatever I had cut around.

Cutting in a straight line, no oil leak. Skin around the flag pole or small tree; streaks of dead grass a little more than a wheel width from the object.

My questions are:

Could this be as simple as a loose fitting?

Why leak only when that wheel is barely moving or not at all?

How expensive are these motors?
