I hope everyone had a great Christmas and is having a safe New Years Eve. The temps have kinda relaxed up here for now. So I think the starting issue was a frozen safety switch somewhere and a weak (stock) battery. I have a new battery in her and she got a new hydraulic cooler. I’ll warm her up...

Anyone have any schematics they could share with me…? 2016 Mahindra 2555HST (diesel) Cab

I’m fairly certain it’s hydraulic because when it was running and puking I could not raise the bucket. Anyway, I’ll know more after Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for all your knowledge and help. ~Ryan

Put in a new battery. Plugged in a battery tender to keep the battery up during the cold weather. Went out this morning and it cranked right up WITH THE KEY! This cold snap must have really screwed with some switches and the ignition… After she started this morning I noticed she was puking...

I have three or four of those behind the battery but up high enuf to reach. They’re basically right in front of the radiator. I dont know which one is which because the elderly widow who I bought the tractor from did not know where the manual was.

Well… again I really want to thank everyone who has read this post and truly appreciate everyone who has replied. Long story ending is this… Still no bueno on getting her started! Here is what I did: Turned the key to Accessory position to turn everything on. Tail lights come on, brake lights...

Thank you everyone for trying to help me. I’m up and having coffee now, then gonna go see what’s up. This is how I usually start my tractor. And I usually am standing outside the cab on the right hand side. I can easily reach the ignition from here. 1. Turn key backward to activate glow plug...

I have not; but they appear clean with zero corrosion and I’ve got 12.9v at the battery and just under that at the Hot connection on the starter.

That is a great suggestion. Today is the ONLY time I’ve set the brakes when finished for a period of time. I usually park on a very slight incline and chock the back tires. I’ve been told to NOT set the brakes for fear of freezing them up in cold humid temperatures; 15 degrees tonight with about...

I’ve given up for the evening and decided to drink. Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try tomorrow.

400 hours, I have 12.9 volts at the battery and the starter, I cycled the HST pedals several times, there is no Seat Safety switch (I’ve started it from standing outside the cab), PTO handle was cycled several times and it would not start in any of the 3 positions. I don’t know how to ‘Block the...

So mine does not have a seat safety switch, PTO was cycled and it did not start in and position (FWD,Neutral,Back), Brake was applied and let spring back a few times to cycle it (wonder if the brake switch is bad?), HST pedals were cycled, and I have no clue where a HST Clutch would be located….

Is there a way to see if the brake switch is dead? And where is the dang thing…?

So I cycled the PTO handle forward and backwards. I tried starting the tractor with it in all 3 positions, Fwd/Neutral/Back. Still nothing.
