Friend of mine called last night in a splutter saying his Kubota M 8540 had developed a strange engine oil leak while feeding round bales. It was dark when he called and he couldn't tell much about where it was coming from, but would call back this morning. Well he did. He went out where the tractor is parked in the shed and he found a plastic plug laying on the ground.He started the tractor and sure enough oil was coming out of the hole where the plug came from. No threads, just a straight hole in the block near the oil filter. I said I don't have a clue. So I get on the internet and did a little research and guess what, apparently this happens quiet often in really cold weather. Some called it a pin plug. Would some of the Kubota experts please explain what this hole if for and why a plastic plug with no threads. He called the local dealer and they said , Yes it happens from time to time but,no explanation as to why, or the fix for it, except, put the plug back and don't worry about it. Thanks in advance.
