Is there an eye-glass level indicator on the transmission, above/behind the 3-point hitch? Check your owner's manual to be sure. There is a Mahindra Face Book site that has most Mahindra manuals on it, for free. Otherwise, you can order a PDF Factory Service Manual, online. Do a search for...

I used Shell UTF. I visited Shell's website, and it had a way to look up which of their UTF's would work with my eMax 20S. They showed two flavors: Special-Order, Model-specific UTF, or another that was a common application for a very wide array of tractors, a truly universal UTF, available...

You are correct. Sorry. Been too long since I worked as a tech.

Crossing the jumper cables doubles the Voltage on the system: 2 x 12 Volts = 24 Volts! Voltage is pressure to push electrons through the electronics. It can fry a lot of components, in a short amount of time... It is possible the maker put in a protective circuit, to prevent over-voltage...

I've watched a few YouTube videos on the 2-part, spray-on foam systems for insulation, as well. They have some caveats you need to be aware of. Educate yourself, first. Agree, you want Closed-Cell foam for your application. If the area is small enough, you might be able to use the aerosol...

I found mine for sale by a company which has hundreds of tractor service manuals for sale. I bought the PDF, uploaded it to Lulu.com, who printed it in spiral bound format, in fully color. Worth every penny I paid for it: $20(?) for the manual PDF file; $30 for the Print-On-Demand hardcopy...

First off, I recommend searching the Internet for a factory service manual. I purchased and downloaded a PDF copy for my eMax 20s. Then, I uploaded it to Lulu.com, and they printed and sent me a spiral-bound color manual: select high quality ink and high quality paper, as the PDF's images are...

If you buy a PDF version, you can upload it to Lulu.com, and they will print it, on demand, in multiple formats for you to choose from. I bought the PDF factory service manual for my Mahindra, had it uploaded to Lulu.com, and printed in color, spiral bound format, for <$50, delivered. Setting...

Any local, independent tractor mechanics around? They're usually a fraction of the cost from a Dealership. If your tractor only has 104 hours on it, it was due for the 100-hour maintenance, which it sounds like you did, already: change out all hydraulic oil and filters. I am assuming it is...

I had a 2nd garage built, 24' x 30', similar to this: steel roof and siding. It was built by a 3-5 man crew, taking a couple of weeks: site preparation (BobCat), removing 18" of soil, leveling sand atop that; anchoring 6x6 vertical wall posts; concrete driveway and floor, with a floor drain...

Do you have any independent tractor repair shops in your area? I have one, and they charge a fraction of the cost of the dealer. I've ordered parts for my sub-compact without issue -- the first time was during the COVID shutdowns, and I had no problems, or delays in getting them shipped to my...

I ordered Mahindra parts during COVID, and I got them within two weeks. Parts are not hard to get for Mahindra tractors, based on my limited experiences (ordered twice, within two years: 1st time from my local dealer; 2nd time from an online Mahindra parts dealer in Pennsylvania?)...

Some diesel engine oils are also rated for gasoline engines -- they vary, a lot. You have to read the API ratings on the bottles to know what they can be used in. Shell Rotella T6 diesel oil, for example, can be used in motorcycles, if it is JASO rated, but not all T6 formulas are JASO...

Only one I am certain of, is mine: 2019 Mahindra eMax 20S. Cheers!

Yanmar makes many of the diesel engines used in Mahindra tractors. My independent tractor mechanic told me Yanmar was the very best diesel engine maker, calling them "bulletproof," if you take care of them. Mahindra offers a 7-year warranty on the Power Train; this has been a standard Mahindra...
