2555 HST run away

[skullmount]

Being overfull in the engine oil reservoir is definitely a problem but can't say for certain if it's your only problem. Just like in other diesels the oil level can rise from excess idling since the fuel may not be fully burning and it can end up below the piston rings where it drains back into the oil.

A few questions:
1. Do you know when it was originally sold? The warranty starts on the date of first sale, not necessarily on the date it was built or shipped to the original selling dealer. Was it a 5 year warranty machine?
2. Do you know for certain when the last engine oil change was done, at what hours?
3. Does the oil seem excessively runny like it has been diluted with fuel?

As others have stated, first step is figuring out number 1 because if it is within warranty Mahindra is pretty good about taking care of warranty claims and fixing things. If they can't figure out why it did it and if there's damage to the engine they may replace the whole engine. It is well worth your time to check into it.

Sorry about my absence.......been crazy busy.

answers..........

That purchase info was sent to warranty person in texas. we found out I was not listed as the owner yet in their warranty system

According to the dealer who maintained the machine all new oil filters, when I bought it

Nope just oil, no fuel is present

A retired friend has contacted mahindra for me and is provided all the info to them and we are waiting on a reply. will update as I can.

Did you buy your tractor from a Mahindra dealer? you should be covered for emission system warranty. there is a field mod for a ECU reflash that may have prevented your problem.:shocked:

I believed two dealers when they told me that it was running rough in the cold temps...................... still needs to be done. Not sure how a computer flash would prevent a seal from leaking hyd oil into the motor ???

I meant the reflash may have prevented the fuel system issues. I have seen the work pump seal fail but it usually empties the hyd fluid pretty quickly.A you sure that's not fuel in the crank case?

OK, got your idea on the flash.
definitely not fuel, just oil came out

Mahindra or a Mahindra dealer simply has to determine the warranty status of your tractor. A competent dealer can do it on the computer by visiting the warranty section of the dealer access Mahindra website. I used to do it all the time when my boss sold them and the shop I supervise repaired them. No calls or contact with Mahindra personnel nor does the tractor have to be registered to you in their data base. It is either in warranty or it is not. If it is in warranty an authorized Mahindra dealer is obligated to make covered repairs.

RickB,

IMHO, of the 4 dealers we have talked to, only one made the right connection as far as to what really happened here. I provided the serial number etc to one of the dealers, who also pestered me a few times about getting the machine to their shop............if i was unable to get it there, they would pick it up. I was led to believe that I had no warranty by 2 of the dealers I talked to, because I purchased the machine used.

your word choice here is key "competent"

The warranty follows the machine, not the owner. If it is within the time frame then it is most likely covered.

That is incorrect unit must be transferred to new owner for warranty to be valid.:shocked: I get Mihindra customers in all the time thinking there used tractor is still under warranty. Its a real shame because its an easy process to transfer. a simple phone call to the dealer from the owner with the buyers info.

That is inconsistent with my experience as the service coordinator at an authorized Mahindra dealership. If a Mahindra owner has a tractor with a warrantable problem within the appropriate warranty period that’s all I needed to know. Make the repair, file the warranty claim, get the warranty credit.
