    Need help with 3rd function for grapple

    I just had to replace my WR Long control board with the relays also. :mad: Obviously, this is a trend and sad there is no warranty. I noticed the new one is updated and is more unitized and sealed than the original one. Hmmm.. wonder why???? fwiw- I bought the replacement directly from WR...

    Why did I buy this thing?

    I have been tempted to replace/extend the dipstick on mine so that the tube is accessible from the top while the hood is open.

    midmower frozen and also pto attachment s stuck on tractor

    I'm going to venture a guess at the gearbox itself went kaput- not a spindle. PITA to get to and doesn't get serviced. But hopefully its just a stick or rock or something like that jambed up. I do exactly as others have described getting the PTO off as well as the other suspension linkage. Its...

    Mahindra rpm 540 / 2000

    Good call! A "purpose built" and dedicated implement will be far more efficient and convenient than an "all-in-one" tractor can do. I use the heck out of my 60" belly mower with several acres to mow and maintain. It does a great job, but there are tradeoffs that I put up with. I would love have...

    Mahindra rpm 540 / 2000

    The gear reduction is different for the Mid PTO than the Rear. You wont get 2000RPM out of the rear. The rear RPM runs much slower than the mid. The indicator on the tachometer shows you what the drive speed you should be at whether you are running the rear PTO or MID for most implements. It is...

    Ok I feel like Dolly Parton.....

    Lately I have been buying the Kevlar (Aramid) version of the B131 for my Max 25 belly mower. Best price I have found is here: https://offroadbelts.com/product/dd-powerdrive-5lk1340-or-b131k-kevlar-v-belt-vbelt These lasts much longer and at $21.28 a piece its a no-brainer. I've bought...

    Mahindra 60" belly mower

    Yes. If you are talking about the fill plugs they can be a bugger... If they are stripped you may have to add a LITTLE heat from a torch and/or use an easy-out. You can get replacement plugs. As for adding fluid- thats a trick to get the gearbox level in whichever means you can so that it is...

    Oil cooler leak (hydraulic) Max 25HST

    I have owned ol Max for 5 years now this month. While doing my preop before a mowing job I find this little surprise: Now it went against my better judgement, but I contacted my local dealer. Who knows if there would be any warranty, but wanted availability and warranty consideration on the...

    In case you missed it:TBN news

    Members should be getting the TBN newsletter in their email, and this was in my inbox today. I thought it was interesting since there has been a lot of discussion lately about Mahindra dealer growth and expansion and all the other growing pains we are experiencing. I'm personally glad to hear...
