Thanks for your post. I am having the same problem with my 4550. The dealer does not sell the boots and I was trying to figure out some way of Macgyvering a fix. It looks like a split boot would work and they are available at several auto parts stores near me at a reasonable price. There are...
I have a 4550 made in 2013. When I purchased it I had the same issue with the temp gauge. Turns out Mahindra came up with a fix. They have a flow restrictor for the radiator coolant. (I looked for the thread that made me aware of this fix but could not find it.) Mine was installed by the...
I have a very inexperienced diesel tractor owner question. I live in Southwest Michigan. How do I tell when Summer (or Winter) diesel fuel is selling at my local gas station? I recently asked the clerk at the register and she had no idea what I was asking?
I have a question on optimal idle speed for operating a 4550 under light load. I have a tier four 4550 and am asking because of my very limited understanding of the diesel, hydraulics, and catalytic converter operation.
There is a decal on the tractor, and statements in my owner manual, that...
I need some operating a diesel tractor wisdom. I own a Tier 4 Mahindra 4550. I've had it for 4 years. This tractor is the only diesel anything I have ever owned or operated. So, even after 4 years I am still needing to learn some basics.
Being isolated this winter with not much else to do I...

I am looking for some wisdom (or advice) on installing an exhaust pipe extension on my Mahindra 4550. I have very little experience with diesel tractors so I would appreciate some learning from folks who know something about the Mahindra's mCRD technology. On 2/22/19 Hamiltonville farm posted...
I have a question about safety practices for connecting equipment to my tractor PTO drive. I have a 2014 Mahindra 4550 4WD. The PTO is mechanically activated. I need to depress the clutch, move the PTO lever to the on position (which some times requires a bit of effort and futzing), then let...
I am fast approaching 50 hrs on my Mahindra 4550 and I am interested in any experiences others might have had with cleaning the transmission strainer.
My Operators Manual Routine Service Schedule (4540/4550) says that at 50 hours I must clean the transmission strainer. However, given where...
I have a new 4550 4wd manufactured in 2014. It has been great so far with a few things that needed tweaking. We continue to have problems with condensation on the inside of the instrument cluster cover. I attached a photo. The whole instrument cluster unit has been replaced and it still...
