Just about had a bad Cub night, but I headed it off at the pass.....
I was mowing with the 782 and made the last pass out onto the concrete driveway before I moved on to mowing the remaining 1/2 acre of yard when I noticed some small drops of oil on the concrete. Thought it was from the hydro and almost didn't stop, but something told me I better.
Turns out it was engine oil. The idiot light sending unit had blown a diagphram and was blasting a pencil lead thick stream of 50 psi oil onto the inside of the engine sheetmetal from under the electrical connector (odd huh???). I must have just caught it, as there wasn't too much oil YET.
Glad I stopped, as I was on the last pass where I turned around over concrete, and probably would have never noticed it on the grass...ouch!!!!! Only saving grace was the gauge, but the bright red "oh sh**" light is nice for when you are concentrating on lots of other things at the same time.
Good thing I had an 1/8" NPT pipe plug stashed in a drawer!!!! Looks like Kohler will get $xx out of me for another sending unit......
