Hello everyone.
A good friend of mine is having a problem with his 7520 and it has got me (and the dealer) stumped.
Some of the time when he goes to shut the tractor down, it will keep running- even when the wire to the fuel shut-off solenoid is pulled.
He is often able to shut it down by repeatedly switching the ignition on and off. The dealer has had his tractor in the shop repeatedly, and has had mechanics out to his farm. They have adjusted timing, replaced switches and solenoids, including the fuel shut-off solenoid on top of the pump. The tractor still continues to run on after being shut off. It will not rev, but will continue to idle regardless of throttle position.
The only thing I can figure is that the pump is leaking internally-just enough fuel to keep the tractor running at idle.
The fact that it runs after the wire to the pump has been pulled would seem to suggest that the problem is not electrical (switch, etc.), but rather mechanical. The local dealer has been very helpful and patient, but I think is feeling a lack of support from Mahindra.
My friend loves his tractor- and would not hesitate to reccomend it to anyone with the exception of this problem. I have a 6500 and feel the same way. Any Ideas?
