Its that time of year again. Sure enough I'm seeing lots of frozen fuel filters. This is an FYI reminder for you owners to purge the H2O from your filters especially tier 4 owners. Tier 4 engines will run poorly ,code and derate even with the hot fuel recirculation. Even with the WIF sensor the...

Just a heads up for you geared tractor owners. I've been seeing a few tractors with the clutches seized to the input shaft splines. Mahindra has been stingy with the warranty with this issue. If you have a tractor with the clutch pedal lock use it. :eek:

Need to flush a SSL hyd system thats contaminated with H2O. What are you guys using in your Bobcat equipment? Bobcat fluid is about $ 14 a gallon. Anything cheaper out there for a flush? :confused3:

Not sure of the size. 3/8??

You can't!:laughing: Just kidding. you can but it requires some knowledge and tools. 2 things need to be done to allow the unit to be moved no matter what model you have. Release the brakes and allow the oil to move in the drive circuit. Releasing the brakes is done by using a porta power and...

Greetings. Got a 1830 with what I think has a carburetor problem. This model has the Renault gas engine. Engine runs fine at high RPM. Idle and lower RPM the engine slowly looses RPM and will stall. It makes me think the low speed circuit of the carb is blocked or if there is and low mix adj it...

Just learned a very expensive lesson about fuel additive. More is not better. You owners of the Doosan engine tractors pay heed. Seems to much additive can dry the fuel to the point that it looses its lubricating effects on the HP pump. The pump begins to wear and send particulate into the rail...

Just saw the new E-MAX with the Kukje engine. Nice running tractor. No ECU.:cool2:

Mahindra has recommended not using block heaters on E-MAXs because of the engine being an indirect type fuel injection system. Block heaters fool the ECU and don't turn the glow plugs on. Just learned that ECU can be reflashed to change temp sensor range and allow the glow plugs to cycle if a...

A word of caution for you MAX and EMAX owners that have belly mowers. If you are mowing very high grass or weeds do not back up with the PTO engaged. The PTO shaft has a tendency to grab and wrap the weeds or grass around the shaft at the seal. This is causing the seal to fail and leak. :eek:

For those of you that have a 2555 and the MIL light is on check with your dealer for a reflash. Mahindra has just released new software. FYI its NOT warranty. It will only take care of specific P codes that cause the MIL light to come on. :thumbsup:

Got a FS90R here that wont throttle up. I'm a little out of my wheel house with 4 strokers. Exhaust port and spark arrester are clear. Throttle cable and butterfly are OK. Any thoughts?:confused3:

This is an FYI post for those of you that have that pesky swivel seat that cuts the seat switch pig tail. There is an update kit to address that issue. costs about $10.00. :thumbsup:

This is a FYI post to those that have a 3016 or 3616. Some of these units have been experiencing repeated failures of the glow plugs. It has been discovered that it is due to the glow timer being back fed through the fuel solenoid. The repair is a simple diode added to the wiring harness...

Got I hope not to dumb of a question for those in the know. Does water stay separated from fuel in the filter with the engine running? Does the fresh flow of fuel from the lift pump stir it up like shaking your salad dressing?:confused:

It was suggested I post on this forum. I have a new Bobcat 6530 that wont get out of its way going up hill. Curious if anyone out there has the Bobcat or Polaris version of it and what they think of the slow ground speed.Seems this has been an ongoing issue.:confused3:

Greetings. Got a new "G" series Toolcat here that I noticed when stopped the wheels will only turn a few degrees R or L when a turn is commanded. I noticed it when I was trying to align the rear wheels after taking the unit out of AWS. Had to make the unit move a little to achieve full...
