Yep, Jon here. There is only 1 manual lever to engage PTO. Maybe there is an option for a different control and the "hooter" gets installed either way. Thanks for the info.

Hey folks. I have a 2007 Mahindra 7520 which I've owned since new. Recently it started intermittently beeping while in use, typically about 15-20 minutes after starting it. I've done all the maintenance on it recently, it has new trans oil/filter, engine oil/filter, fuel filters, and recently...

My tractor is doing this again, beeping about 10-20 minutes after startup and then won't stop until you shut it down. Tractor has 1400 hours on it, it's a 2008, 7520 model. Transmission oil is full and recently changed, and the filter is new. Tractor functions normally. There are no warning...

I have a 7520 and it specifies Chevron 1000 THF, which is hard to me to find. I can't be the only one. What oil do you use in your tractor? I would love to find something reasonably priced that I can order online. Thanks!

My 7520 is acting up. It's 10 years old. One day after running fine the previous day I went to start it and it cranked and cranked but wouldn't start. Grey smoke coming out of exhaust. I tried a few more times and then right as I released the key (giving up), it started. Ran great. This...

Hi. I have a 7520 4WD that's 10 years old and has about 1000 hours. The right front is making a squeaking noise when rolling. It's worse when it's cold, and will sometimes silence after using for 15 minutes or so. But it's getting worse over the last several months. I'm 99% sure it is the...

7520 2008 with 700 hours. I have a couple intermittent issues that I think (hope) are tied together into one problem. Occasionally when I turn the tractor off, it will continue to idle. Not a normal idle, but a sputtering, low power idle. Seems to happen totally at random, and my solution...

So in all the recent work on my tractor, I decided to do some maintenance as well, and I cleaned the suction strainer and put on a new suction filter. I didn't see anything in the manual about bleeding the system after this. I assumed it would pull the air through until it got to the reservoir...

I'm tired of trying to find the very limited hydraulic oils that Mahindra specs for 7520. The engine oil is easy enough to find, but the list of compatible hydraulic oils are not available in my area. Specifically: 1. Chevron 1000 THF 2. Texaco TDH Oil Special Is there really a difference...

Doing some routine maintenance, and I have a complaint about the owners manual. There are a number of maintenance tasks listed that aren't referred to elsewhere to clarify what they are talking about. So it leaves you guessing if you are doing the right thing, or missing something. Anyway...

I have a Mahindra 7520. I had to remove the fuel injection pump to fix a leaking gasket. This pump attaches to the pump gear with a key and a tapered shaft, so it is easy to re-assemble, as long as you don't spin the motor or the pump when they are separated. At least, that's what I thought...

Good idea Winmac. Its the shiny plate at the bottom in the pic labeled Y330. This is the right side of the pump as it sits in the tractor, against the engine block.

Hello all, have a Mahindra 7520 with 700 hrs on it, about 6 years old. Using it the other day and I noticed a diesel fuel smell, found a leaky gasket in the bosch injector pump. The leak was on a gasket underneath a plate that was facing the engine block, so I had to take the pump off to fix...

The oils that are specified in the owner's manual are not available locally for me. I had picked up a pail of chevron 1000 thf that I used, but I need more oil now. I have a NAPA dealer and advance auto close by. Is there something more easily available that I could get for this transmission...
