Found metal shavings on oil change

[1320warrior]

I have been lurking for a little while but I wanted to ask the Warrior vets if shavings found at the filter and drain plug would concern them. I just bought the warrior from a guy who claimed that it only had 40-50 hrs on it. The shavings I found are pretty course in texture not like anything you would typically find in a crankcase. Thanks in advance for your responses

I found all kinds of metal shavings in every oil change i did on my warrior for the years that I had it. Never once did I have an internal failure with the exception of the one way bearing (starter clutch)

I wouldn't think twice about it, i think everybody finds them most of the time.

Yeah and something I always tend to forget is that the engine and gear box is a complete assembly so oil is used to lube both for the engine and gears.

Cool I won't worry too much about it. Thanks for your help.
