I wound up leaving my '14 570 outside during a fairly good rain storm overnight. I started it up
and backed out of the driveway and headed to the shop and made it about 50' before the belt
started slipping, made it another 50' and was done. Pushed it the rest of the way to the shop.
Pulled the red drain plug and maybe a 1/2 tspn or water in the sump. Didn't have time to pull
cover until next day. Looks as tho rain water leaked in between bed and cab right into belt
cover breather tube. Dried everything out and works fine now. Seems like poor design that
a simple rain storm could disable it. Anybody else ever have this problem? I'm thinking a small
alum shield over top of vent between bed and cab?
