Engine ,have bypassed the crank case filter also , it seems thread on casting where it screws on ,is wrong ,its like stepped ,but JD wont acknowledge it , maybe the demo of the 4220 jcb and fendt might wake them up , have even ,made a little heat shield ,in front of it as hot air blowing from rad really gets it hot

And before you say the oil is no good , witham took jd to challenge ,about oil to prove That it was just as good .

One has to laugh, any problem with a John Deere...you've used the wrong oil! Must be the first thing the technicians learn at HQ,
It's not difficult to get an engine oil to exceed the specs of JDplus 50II ? Most E9 spec will.

Would suspect you still have an issue with the pcv system. If you put beer in the crank case the caps still going to blow off if the engines breathing heavily

Was a local fella had a JD lawnmower, wasn't cutting right. After trying a few things including taking it back they asked him what direction he was cutting the lawn? clockwise, ahh, they are American so maybe try cutting anticlockwise see if it helps.....now has a Kubota.

Our 215 and another I know of have both lost oil caps and both on JD oil.
Would you look at threads please ,are they parallel ,or less on top 4 threads , ,and regarding oil , other one been fine ,i think its the thread on the casting which is wrong , ,or thread on cap needs to be deeper

Haven’t lost oil caps but have lost 2 fuel tank caps of 6155r. Never lost a fuel cap before. Use a lockable one now.
Shorty 77. Just thought I’d reply. 6210R third time it’s done it . First two we were packing silage driving over pile and pushing working it hard , one of them causing the belt to come apart and take out the main seal. This time clipping pasture not working it at all. Always has had plus 50 in it . And have replaced crank case breather a few times. Anyone got any ideas?
