Emax 25 will turn over but will not start

schazaam · Aug 28, 2017

Hello all. I've got a 2012 Mahindra Emax 25 with 47 hours on it. Last I had run the tractor it started right up and I parked it in the garage about a month ago. I tried to start it today and it would turn over, but it makes no attempt to start. I did let the glow plugs cycle once before trying to start it. I've not had a problem with starting it before unless I didn't hold the key in the start position long enough for it to actually get going. I recycled the plugs, but that didn't work either. It has 3/4 of a tank of diesel so I know that's not the problem. The diesel is from last summer when I filled it up before winter. The tractor is kept in my garage and is babied. Not sure what's going on. I'm no diesel mechanic, but if someone has an idea I can find my way around an engine. If anyone has an idea I'd appreciate the help. Thanks.

Probably the fuel solenoid fuse clamp. See: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/...ng/384143-mahindra-emax25-hst-turns-over.html

47 hours on a 2012 and the last fuel was added last summer. I'm guessing you have varnish instead of fuel at this point. Fresh fuel and verifying the fuel filters aren't plugged is my thought.

I found another post about this 10 amp fuse but was unable to find anything either. My tractor is exactly like in his picture except brand new looking lol. Also the diesel that's in there really didn't worry me all that much. The last time I ran it was one month ago, removing some cactus at my house, and it fired up and ran fine the entire time until I parked it there. I'll try this fuse now that I know where to look for it and if that doesn't work I'll try new diesel and cleaning the filter. Thanks for your help guys. I'll post back here if something works.

I just found that fuse. It's a pain in the neck to get to it, and it's literally marked fuse on the little black case, with a 10 amp fuse inside. I took it out, cleaned it with a knife and stuck it back in and the tractor fired right up! I'll get some grease for it so I don't run into this problem again. Thanks again guys for help!
