    replacing tie-rod boots

    I thought this may benefit someone that has a 3510/4110. The rubber boot on one of the tie-rods seemed to have come out from under the clip that holds it in place while I was pumping grease into it. After removing the tie-rod, clip and boot I noticed the boot was stretched out, and I was not...

    Fleet Charge

    I am flushing out the radiator on my Mahindra 3510 and installing new coolant. I read on the Fleet Charge site that regular tap water can be used. Has anyone done this with good or adverse results? Here is the info I'm asking about. FLEET CHARGEョ fully formulated coolant eliminates these...

    Box Scraper  Monroe Tufline 6' Box Blade

    After being patient for over a year, I finally come across a good deal on a box blade. A heavy equip. dealer a few miles down the road also had a lot across the street where they sold Mahindra tractors. The dealer dropped the Mantra line in order to concentrate on the heavy equip. and moved all...

    Oil & Fuel  Attention: 3510/4110 Fuel Leak

    Those of you that own a 3510 and possibly a 4110 need to check the fuel line that runs from the fuel pump to the injector pump on the right side of the engine. It is a 5/16" ID rubber, single layer fuel line about 6"-8" long that attaches to the injector pump next to the injector pump bleed...

    Diesel Generator

    I am in the market for a diesel generator. I'm looking for one that will supply about 10,000 watts continuous and as portable and compact as possible. I have found several on-line, but was wondering if anyone has any experience with any particular brand (good or bad). I'm not brand loyal, but...

    Fuel Storage Tank and Stand

    Here is a fuel tank stand I built for a 75 gallon tank from a Mack truck. The skids are built out of 6" channel iron with 1-1/2" ID pipe used for the spreaders. 3" flat bar was welded to the open side so it could be securely transported by a set of forks. The cradles were made from a section of...

    TSC and Travellers Hydraulic Fluid

    I was at TSC today looking at the Premium Universal Tractor Hydraulic Fluid. I stopped the store manager as he walked by and talked to him about the fluid. He told me the Travellers brand was made by Shell and relabeled for TSC. After I returned home I searched extensively on the web and could...

    Rake  Fred Cain Landscape Rake

    About a year ago, a friend of mine loaned me his landscape rake. I quickly realized how valuable that implement was. After Hurricane Gustav he needed his rake back, so I was in dire need of one to help clean up my own hurricane destruction. This was the first full weekend I've had off since the...

    NORMAL OPERATION OR PROBLEMS W/ REAR REMOTE

    I used a pressure gage with a QD and briefly dead headed one side of the rear remote hydraulics to get a pressure reading of approx. 2200 psi. When the lever was returned to the neutral position the pressure fell off till it reached zero (about 10 sec). To me, that didn't seem right, so I tried...

    Box Scraper  Hydraulic Top Link Length and Box Blade

    I am trying to determine what length of a HTL to get. I am looking at two that may fit the bill. The first one measures in at 19-1/4" - 31-1/4" and the second on at 21-1/4" - 35-1/4". The first one would give me plenty of forward tilt for the scarifiers but would only allow enough rear tilt to...

    Tires  TIRE LUG SEPERATION

    Hey Guys, I just noticed this today, and haven't talked to my dealer yet (Holiday). I have separation of several lugs on each of the front tires, some worse than others. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about a tire failure in the near future? The tractor has 142 hours and is a year and...
