If you are on Facebook go to the Mahindra 2538/2638 owners page, join it, go into the files section where I have the entire service manual and start studying the Front axle section (Section6) and the transmission section (section 5). It looks more like the disengagement is in the transmission...

And here I sit and often have 2-3 trailers hooked to my truck in a week, sometimes 2-3 in a day and playing musical traliers between jobs. In the bed, feed, seed, toolboxes, hay, gas cans and once in a while a deer or two.

There are several people who have modified extensions on the 3pt lever. You might look at 'Mahindra 2538/2638 owners' page on Facebook. The fel control lever is dang near in the perfect spot. The lever that bothers me is if you have the factory hydraulic remote(s) on the tractor the lever for...

I have used fender washers without bending them over, works just as well. The only issue in doing that is if you unhook and hook up often to the same piece of equipment the washers may walk and not be out on the ends of the pins, but in operating times the washers work fine. Buying fender...

I tightened the lug nuts on my 2638 about 80 hours into owning it with a 4' cheater bar and have yet to find one loose 4 years and 700 hours later.

That interesting because you can still get new 2600 series tractors. One of the biggest differences is the seat and how it sits, one seems more like you ae sitting on it the other seems more like you are sitting in it. The 1640 is a nice tractor, I have the 2638. I bought it new 4 years ago...

I use that app alot, my uncle also uses it alot. Each of us got within 10' of a known survey pin on the farm, but we have great cell phone service, each of us were connected to actual wi-fi and clear and open skies. the app is great, it is designed to show property boundaries but is not...

I dealt with that BAD and went to a podiatrist who got me into custom orthotic insoles which helped a bunch. THen off and on for about 1 1/2-2 years it flared up now and again. One flare up that was particularly worse I wrapped a towel into a rope and was using it to pull my toes to stretch my...

Try swapping your front wheels so the front R1 tires are running backwards, it may help you on turns and you should still have front traction for the hills.

Having grown up on and alot of time on a 135 (with the Continental Z145 gas engine, multipower transmission) as a kid and adult, I now have a Mahindra 2638. The Mahindra 2638 will do everything the 135 will do with more traction, a more comfortable seat, eaiser to get on and off, equal to less...

My cousin thought the same thing, but yesterday when we were doing a job taking down 3 large sweetgum trees I had that little saw next to me at the chipper (vermeer 7' capability) and he was impressed. He has a 7'x16' gooseneck dump trailer and we filled it three times with chips, that little...

I ride horses with several people who have the 12V Milwaukee Hatchet (6" chainsaw) and I recently purchased one too. Absolutely love it. I get slabs from a local sawmill for firewood and use that little saw in my shop to cut slabwood to length for my wood burner. Beyond that I carry it on my...

I"ve had a 261 for about 12 years now, love it and found it is awesome in any wood with an 18" 3/8 pitch full chisel chain. I cut alot of locust and it does great. My first saw was an 029 Super, which was a great matchup with an old 024 that I had. Later had a 361 and I just found it too heavy...

When it sputters and dies have you tried pulling out the choke to see if it runs differently? When it starts sputtering and running rough take a can of something aerosol that is flammable (carb cleaner works well) and spray around the intake manifold. If there is a crack in the manifold it...

Your impact will be fine, it will be great on farm equipment, tractors and trucks. If I was starting over buying power tools I would go with Milwaukee Tools over DeWalt but I have alot of DeWalt 18V and 20V tools so I'll just stick with them. That exact impact you have is the one on my radar...
