My machine, 2013 L4240HSTC, has started leaking hydraulic fluid from the split pin plug under the clutch housing. Not a serious leak, but several drops on the concrete where it is parked. I'm fairly confident that it is hydro fluid and not engine oil. It is almost clear and not dark. After...

Finally got her installed. I was able to pile some burn piles today. I really like everything about it so far. Great job EA. Thanks!

I'm sure this has been asked before but how important do y'all consider the little boots that cover the ball joint on the tie rods? The tractor is a L4240 and I noticed one of mine was pulled back, after some sweat and blood I managed to the get the thing back in place. I checked the other side...

Hello Everyone, I'm a new owner of a L4240HSTC, bought her used with about 95hrs 2 months back. So far so good, but I have been noticing that the engine temp gauge shows exactly 50% all of the time. (after warmup). The gauge has 8 boxes that will illuminate, mine always has 4. I didn't think...

My brother just picked up a brand new Kioti CS2410 SCUT. Loader, Mid-mount Mower, and Backhoe. We both have little or no experience with HST trans, being my tractor is Gear and all ones we have ever had have been gear. We were working some dirt, fairly large pile and noticed when we went to load...

Hello everyone, I recently discovered, or what seems to be, my throwout bearing is going bad on my 2816 gear at only 180 hrs. It has a terrible scream when clutched and a rubbing noise when released. I posted a question about this on the general forums and everyone confirmed the throwout...

Hello Everyone, This may sound brand specific, but I think all manual tractors would be fairly similiar, I have a Mahindra 2816 and over the past couple of days it has started making a houling/rubbing noise whenever you clutch the tractor. Yesterday it started quealing very loud whenever...

I need some advise, my tractor has been leaking (very little) around the oil pan for about a year or so, recently it has become worse, and is beginning to drip on the concrete. Not talking about alot, but a few drops here and there. How hard is it to replace the gasket, or could I use some...

Yesterday, I popped the hood on my tractor to find that my battery terminals are severely corroded, not only that, but the battery bracket and the battery plate, bolts and all are very rusty. I looks as if my battery may be leaking. I washed everything and sprayed some golf cart acid nutralizer...

Hello all! It may possibly be nothing wrong but... recently I've noticed that my clutch pedal doesnt need to be pressed in as far as it did around 50 hours ago. This is for the 1st stage, or transmission portion. It only needs to be pressed about an inch or two to stop the tractor. I tested it...

Hello all, I have a rather difficult question. On my 2816 there are a couple of rubber plugs that seem to keep water and dirt out of the tranny. They are located directly between your feet on the transmission. Mine has two and I'm missing one of them. It looks as if water or dirt could get in...

I was just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to keep your rotary cutters blades out of the dirt. I know this sounds rather stupid, but I have about 5-7 acres to mow that was cleared last year. Just a little rough, but overall flat, but everytime the tractor goes over a ridge or rut I have...

I have an old rotary cutter 5 footer, I think the brand is International, rusted out, bent up, not worth a much, and the splines are going bad on the blade holder. The splines on the gear box shaft seem to be ok. I'm calling the blade holder the part/ or medal bar that the stump jumper mounts...

I was doing some routine bushhoggin, when I got finished I thought that I should check the gear oil, probably be better to do this before I mow:o, but anyways I noticed the oil was nearly as white as milk and fairly thin. I figured that the gears had beat the oil to a froth, so I decided to let...

I just got my hands on an old, worn out bush hog, thats looks badd, I've been looking for one like this so I dont scratch and bend my new one. Anyways I have recently started underbrushing about 3-4 acres of small - medium trees ranging from .5" to 3". Its very tight between bigger trees and...
