    Squeaking wheel

    Check the bolts yourself and make sure they're tight. Tighten regularly.

    Mahindra Universal Tractor Fluid Equivalent

    Traveller "premium tractor trans/hydraulic fluid" meets the spec. Or use case Hy-Tran, or jd Hy-Gard. Easy enough to come by. Don't put in 303 or ISO fluid.

    Weak pinion gear and shaft

    Had to replace mine as well. Took months for the part to arrive. Just have to learn to be careful with it. It's a front wheel assist system, not a primary drive. I was abusing mine since I was used to operating a skid steer.

    Can a Mahindra 1626 pull an RV?

    For what it's worth, when I have logs that are too big for my 3016 to drag, I use my pickup and it drags them without issue.

    4-wheel drive lever corroded

    Keep soaking it in penetrating fluid and trying to work it back and forth. After a few days of that, apply heat. Propane torch will not hurt it.

    Fuel filters and yet more Mahindra manual BS.

    Silverado. I guarantee the Equinox manual has them listed too.

    2655 HST Pump gone bad, no help from Mahindra

    The component manufacturer that makes those HST pumps has been behind for ~2 years now. Like, 13 months+ worth of backorders. I'm sure Yolanda was telling you the truth: there's nothing they can do because the parts just aren't available. It's not unique to Mahindra. People have been running...

    eMax25L loader hydraulic value failure

    Without a photo it's hard to say. Find a good welder who can weld cast iron? You don't have to use Mahindra loader valve, although an aftermarket one will mount and feel different.

    Seeking opinion(s) on this Hydraulic Oil

    You would need TSC's "premium tractor hydraulic fluid" so that it meets j20c spec. Alternatively you can get Shell Rotella HD tractor hydraulic and transmission fluid that's currently only about $130 for 5 gallons at TSC and then you don't have to worry about it.

    M85/85P engine oil filter

    Hey duffer, I actually use aftermarket filters on my tractor as well. I don't have any concerns about doing so. My reasoning behind my warranty comment is that Mahindra keeps their filter specs secret, so there's no way to verify if a filter meets/exceeds Mahindra requirements for flow rate...

    M85/85P engine oil filter

    If it's mahindra 006016642V91 then supposedly a Napa Gold 1324 or a wix 51523 cross references to it. But I wouldn't chance it until the tractor is out of warranty.

    Mahindra 5010 cab need heavy duty alternator

    You can put a big 12v DC capacitor on the sprayer to take the startup surge out. A bigger battery would help too if you can fit one. But it kinda sounds like your alternator might be getting weak.

    Mahindra Backhoe

    Might require some modification/fabrication. And you'd need the frame for the max24

    Mahindra 3616 3rd function

    Here's what the loader manual has. Hope this helps.

    Oil & Fuel Rust in fuel tank

    Yep, it says something about this in your operator's manual, page 49 You'll almost certainly have to remove the fuel tank if you want to fully clean it out. Barring that, you can try filling the tank to the top, let it soak for a few days, drain it all out, filter the diesel that came out of...
