I cant believe that the problem I have had for three years went un-noticed!
I have put two sets of turnbuckles(check Chains) on my 2615. I finally broke down and bought another set, due to the swaying with check chains. I put the new turnbuckles on and found that they would not tighten up properly, so I called the shop to see if maybe Mahindra put the wrong lower lift arms on my machine...
After explaining the problem to the dealer, he asked a few questions on the pin placement settings and we discovered that the lift arms were on opposite sides!! This is why the turn buckles would not tighten the entire way and thus destroy them in a matter of minutes. I was PO! Needless to say I have to take my hat off to my dealer....he is refunding my money for the turnbuckles. That is a good thing, because I didnt need to spend that kind of dough right now. I am a little disturbed that it was delivered 3 yrs ago with this problem.
Anyone have any info on possible places to look for a short? I found that every now and again I will get a little shock if I am running my tractor and touch the metal on the loader joystick....I have no problems with the lights, or other electrical components. I assume if the short was bad it would blow a fuse? Is it possible that the bus bar for the glow plugs could put a electrical charge through the loader? I have checked the ground from the starter, battery, and found them all tight...suggestions?
