    Air filter

    Does anyone have the Donaldson part number for an air filter for a 1533? My clogged filter light is on and I致e blown the old filter out but light still on. $80 for filter seems high.

    1533 pre or first fuel filter cut off

    I followed the directions given DLR for the 1538 and they were spot on for my 1533. One of the easiest mods I have done. Now don稚 have to spill diesel messing with filters.

    1533

    I was working with FEL to drag some trash out of pond. This put me in a front end down position due to bank of pond. The engine failure light came on. The engine never got hot or made any different sounds. As soon as I was on flat ground again it went off.

    1533 - quick review

    160 hrs since Aug. 2016 and so far no issues that were not operator caused. Unless the stickers peeling on the shifter bother someone, little fade on black plastic, or moisture in dash until warm. The biggest issue has been the hand throttle freezing. It won't move until it warms up. I'm...

    Oil fill cap

    How do you remove the oil fill cap? I didt want to break something by prying or turning. I could not get it to move and read the great service book, no help. This is question I never thought I would have to ask. Lol. :ashamed:

    Do you slow down

    So I have a 1533 that I bought new in September 2016. It is the first tractor I have ever owned, so I am like a little kid on it. I seem to be finding jobs that are RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW jobs that were never jobs before. I can get on it and spend all day and forget the world. Now other half is ok...

    Oil & Fuel  Fuel filter

    I have a 2016 1533 shuttle (if that makes diff). I wanted to check or drain any water that may be in fuel filter, but can't find any way to do it. Do you have to remove filter or is there something I'm missing. Waiting on book from Mahindra but from reading may take forever Thanks.

    Why keep roll over bars down?

    I keep watching videos and lots of people keep the roll bars down. Is there a reason this is done? Maybe simple question, just trying to learn if I am missing some performance gain. Mine are up and have never thought about lowering them.

    50 hrs service

    I got the bill for the 50 hour service and was I in sticker shock. $$$$$$. I normally do all my own work on cars, motorcycles, & diesel. Guess I'll be adding tractor to list.

    Ratchet rake?

    Anyone have experience? Any issues with using bucket to smash and drag brush. Guess I am kinda worried about hydraulic lines or doing some damage to front loader. Just curious thinking may order one.
