yes, I had to replace mine https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/maintenance-thread-for-mahindra-owners.446280/page-2#post-6244472 Also, there was a left hand and right hand version of the line, the way the tube was bent at the banjo fitting. Can't remember which was the correct one.

I've heard of mice problems, never a 'pup'.....

Every color of tractor seems to have it's own problems. This is fuel related, so maybe a collapsed fuel line, or some impediment brought on due to the fuel cap issue.....?

Works great on my tractor, plugged in for an hour before starting means no sputtering or black smoke and fires right up.

Would not use bleach, mixed with fuel could cause toxic fumes.

That's probably the most common cause of a tractor not starting....it's happened to me almost on a yearly basis. I use a rat-tailed file on the round cable connector and stiff wire brush on the battery terminal itself. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe try putting the FEL back on; perhaps the hydro PTO is not in the circuit without it?

I have the Mahindra (Kodiac) medium duty, no slip clutch, haven't sheared a pin yet; it has a habit of going out of balance like as if one blade is sticking or something. When that happens, I lower the rpm to an idle and let the blade stop- then slowly restart it until is smooths out. Then its...

I would have no problem with the Traveller Premium....I'm sure lots of others use it.

On mine, there is a pipe plug on the left side of the block- it's behind a lot of stuff so hard to see at first- but it's there! Simon

I chased the same problem (2 or so years ago) thinking my battery was dying. Turned out to be the positive cable. It was the type that actually has a nut and bolt connecting the cable to the clamp. I didn't replace it, just tightened it up. As of now I'm still on the original battery, which...

I think you may be right, it's about where you get your fuel, how and if you store it, and keeping it fresh. In my case I try to keep the tank full to keep out condensation, buy fuel only when needed, and keep the caps screwed on tight to avoid bugs and dirt. A funnel could actually introduce...

Ok, what do you use to filter with if your adding fuel from a 5 gal. plastic can with a nozzle?

You mean, FILTER the fuel you buy? or don't buy or use dirty fuel? I get mine in a 5 gallon can straight from the local Royal Farms.

yes, that's really bad. I was trying to be funny, but it isn't.
