1. Best place (general question) for filters? My local dealer wants $117 for hydraulic spin on filter, seems insanely high. Can't find a cross reference part but I see some supposed Mahindra OEM parts on fleabay for around 40 bucks.
2. When changing hydraulic spin on filter and cleaning the...
Power shuttle. And yeah I was going by memory on the PTO I have not used it yet so I don't know it too well. I only have about 10 hours use on this tractor so far. I have done mostly loader work with it, the 1800 number you mention makes me feel better. I know under revving is no good. I'll try...
Shuttle Shift... what RPM do you guys run at? PTO is 2800. At first I was running around, just moving some stumps around 1500, thought that was too low and started setting it around 2000.
Especially for digging into dirt piles, I set it around 2000 in low 1 then use the foot throttle as I'm...
@RidgeHiker My mahindra calls for the same fluids. I did some research on the shell fluid. The Shell Donax, from what I can tell, is the same as Shell Spirax and the Shell HD Tractor Fluid.
Most importantly, and this may not apply to you if you have a hydrostatic machine, all the fluids you...
@scootr look at the kubota page:

It appears that the part number difference is only in the size jug it is packaged in. I don't have a kubota though confirm what I have said.
Do you have a service manual Bill? I have a 3650. There is a PTO control valve. An electrical solenoid in that valve directs hydraulic fluid when the PTO switch is hit and that hydraulic fluid activates the PTO clutch which then causes the PTO shaft to spin. So maybe that solenoid is stuck on...
I have a Mahindra 3650 with a shuttle shift, recently broke a hose and lost most of my fluid, been looking for replacement fluid.
This machine has shared fluid for transmission, hydraulics, and wet brakes.
-Manual calls for SAE 80w UTTO (Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) that also meets API...
The operating manual for my 3650 mentions that over 70 degrees just start it up, below 70 let the pre heater do it's thing. If over 70 and you just go to start, the glow plug light will stay on for a while... seems like it goes through a cycle no matter what by design. I thought this was odd too.
@ruffdog it is the all purpose transmission/hydraulic/brake fluid. Mine is not hydro but I think you could use the same. The SAE ratings are different for gear oil vs motor oil... 80w gear is same viscosity as about 20 weight motor oil from what I've read. A lot of the tractor fluid makers rate...
I think I have a solution.
I took a piece of the hose to a hydraulic shop thinking it was SAE 100r1 which is rubber/steel braid/rubber (based on the cross section I saw) to get the reusable fitting. They told me it was not SAW 100r1, it was just rubber hose with fiber/cloth reinforcement. We...
I've been looking into reusable hydraulic fittings. At this point my plan is to cut off a section of the hose and bring it to a local shop. Have them identify the hose and get a reusable fitting I can install in the field on the broken end of my existing line. At the same time have them fab up a...
The machine is on property that is all forest... home is 25 miles away. I am clearing the property to build a house. I guess if worst came to worst I could weld up the broken banjo fitting and pay someone to truck it to my house.
