It then reved extremely high and would not shut down with throttle or key... I had to lower the bucket and stall it to turn the engine off. I waited a minute, and restarted it, got back on level ground, and it ran fine. Did it one more time in the same spot (right side low). I checked the engine oil, it appeared to be overfilled... ran it with the dipstick out and it was pumping oil out of the dipstick tube. What has happened? I ran it for several hours after that an it seemed fine... power good, etc., but oil still reads way over full. Hydro fluid level is where it should be. Oil seemed too thin to me also... is diesel getting into the oil somehow? Thanks in advance for any help.</p></blockquote><p></p>
