My frustration comes from when I had a Nissan Sentra. Went through 3 alternators in less than 10 days. Guy wanted to exchange it for a 4th one. I flung it across the counter and said NO with some other colorful language. The Sentra was an easy car to work on but imagine the labor involved on...

"bought a new alternator"...... Clarify that. A NEW alternator or a rebuilt alternator ? I have a rebuilt in 1 of my cars now lasting more than 100k miles but that is not the norm. I have had rebuilds sold in auto part stores quit after a week, 2 weeks, whatever and yes even got one making...

I have a 2538 (same thing). Get on level ground and out of 4wd. Barely hit the fwd pedal and let off while jiggling the shift lever. Its stupid but works.

The OE outdoor power equipment filters are to hit you over the head. $$$ Overpriced junk. The Fram 3600 series xg or otherwise is the same threading and diameter as the 3614. ...just a little longer & more capacity. I have been using the xg 3600 fram and its motorcraft (conventional)...

Mine has the dingdong engine.

The starter being bad is unlikely as it still spins and has no dead spots. If it was bad I would take it to a re-builder. Set that aside and go back to the battery. The battery may be new but that does not mean its good. Load test it or even better is the new type of battery tester which...

Some Ford engines have an internal water pump. Labor intensive job to replace a $40 part.

The expansion valve regulates the amount of refrigerant going in to the evaporator coil. I have never seen a Mahindra a/c system but I would say to look at the lines 2 lines at the evaporator core. Is there what looks like an aluminum block in between the evap and the lines ? Its either that...

Tractors use an "automotive" system....unlike HVAC in houses. Your guage set just needs adapters which will snap on over the fitting(s). Pic is for 134a which is most likely what you need. Note automotive a/c is not a closed system like a window a/c or refrigerator. ALL automotive systems leak...

The way to bleed air is...... Remove the "driver's" side panel . Get a 10mm wrench & slightly crack open the bleeder screw on the black- painted Bosch filter assembly. The screw is on the back side. Aggressively pump the top of the filter assembly to build pressure and close the bleeder while...

The compressor is likely seized.

Mine is propane and started backfiring out of the blue also. Briggs answer to backfiring was to check / adj valves. I did that and fooled with the carb but I knew it had to be timing related. I had both sides showing spark but apparently when those coils get crusty, the don't fire like they...

I have a stand-by briggs generator w/ a Vangard v twin did the same thing. Drove me crazy. Carefully...check valve adjustment. If OK then replace BOTH ignition coils. Yeah I know you checked. I did too and it ran like sh*t backfiring a million times. Changed out both coils and now runs like its...

The gap is too wide. I forgot to tell you... When the clutch quits pulling in & it is energized, take a hammer and give it a TAP. Bet it works. Just a tap, not swinging for the fence !

If the fuse popped, the clutch coil is on its way out as the windings are compromised. Instead the compressor is fine and then at high rpm the clutch lets go even though its energized. That is classic of the clutch gap out of spec.... (too wide). Take a paper business card (not a credit card)...

HPCR systems are very picky when it comes to fuel as they have to be CLEAN. Bosch says to change the screw on filter after X amount of hours or EVERY YEAR. I change it every other year but I filter new fuel before dumping it in the tank & try to keep it full to limit condensation. Try and get...

My guess is that you have way MORE than $1000. in fines and yes you should go to court and attempt to make a deal. You are going to be found guilty no matter what. Plead with an excuse of stupidity and hard luck. Guilty for a reduced fine. Promise to fix everything. Welcome to Murica.

And I am Lord, King, & Master of the Universe.

Note ......what he said. Ignition coils don't last forever and they do strange things when failing.

Something to be aware of.......... https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/11/mysterious-fatal-respiratory-illness-sickens-dogs-across-us/

Have the correct size box wrench handy & keep it on the bleed screw. It might be 10mm ??? With it CLOSED..start to pump and by the 2nd or third pump you should feel significant resistance as pressure builds. Now slightly open the bleeder and quickly close it. Repeat again & you should have...

"let me have a diablo sammich, a doctor pepper and make it fast. I'm in a g/d hurry !" ...Buford T. Justice

Those motors need a capacitor to run. Hum with nothing else = high probability the cap is bad. You can verify its rating with a meter. Be sure to discharge it as a precaution before handling it.

The fuel change interval for the guy with the 2007 tractor is different. He likely has conventional fuel injection. Most people on here including me have machines with high pressure common rail. I DON'T like it and won't spend 3 hours typing why. I can tell you that Bosch does have a replace...

The "strip" surge protectors (any brand) are worthless. Most use MOVs...Metal oxide varistor which sacrafices itself in a surge. The damage is done because it can't react fast enough. I use a box from ZEROSURGE.COM. No issues in 15+ years. You will pay for it but it works.

I have several Fords & 1 takes the same battery. I replaced it at 8 years old. Same issue. The deal is that it lost capacity. Now I used to get 12 years out of a Motorcraft battery. Car would sit overnight in 0 F temp and easily crank. Only got rid of it because it looked nasty. The quality...

Metal shavings included FREE with every purchase !

Forbidden for us common folk ! I do have some questions. Where is the software ? I didn't see a CD. If I got that far would I be able to at least "read" the data stored on the saw ? I know you need a dealer log-on to install updates. Not interested in that.

Replies to above... Thanks for the WM link. My 550 is from 2014. It still works 100% for now. A little monster. I have heard some things I don't like, one of which is crank bearing failure on the chain side. I'm sure that plastic bearing will fail when I need it most. I will look at the WM to...

Does anyone have a disassembly guide they would like to share ? I want a heads up before the time comes for surgery. Thanks in advance.

I went thru the same nonsense a few months ago. The first step is to measure it with a pitch gauge. A zerk pulled from my backhoe cylinder measured 5/16 -22. That turned out to be BSF threading. Of course no auto part store etc. had it. I had to mail order it from zerksplus.com.

Replacing the drier is good. As long as the system is clean, you should be ok. You need to make an educated guesstimate to restore the correct amount of oil.

A system with a drier uses a TXV (expansion valve) on the high side. A system with an accumulator uses an O-tube on the low side. Your ans should be...no. What made the compressor fail ? You want to be SURE the problem is corrected so as not to ruin the new compressor. If there was trash...

The guy at the dealer is not a tech. What he is...is clueless. He presses buttons on a machine. What happened to the high/low pressure reading when the system was running ? Whats the charge...2.78 or 3.5 ? They are flipping a coin hoping for the best.

You have to use tubing benders with PVF. Its just too stiff. There is no room to snake a front -to-back pre-bent line. It was crazy enough routing the NiCopp line which was done on the car. It was a little more $$ and worth every bit.

Mastercool 72475 Lisle 33260 Titan 51535 I have all of them. The Mastercool is effortless and will always give you a perfect flare. Setting aside price, the issue is working "on the car"" in small spaces. In this instance the Titan would be my go to. The block has to be TIGHT when screwing...

Did u check ebay ? I typed in.... Besko control valve and the first pic sure looks like it. Too lazy to walk out to the barn w/ a flashlight right now.

I need a seat too. Seat Warehouse website is apparently closed.

Been there...done that and it was a no-go. I had a zerk that came damaged from the factory on a 2538 backhoe cylindner. Had a pack of metrics and no good. Got a pack of SAE and no good. Huh ??? So now I measure it with a pitch gauge. The threading is 5/16 x 24 which is BSF. It is...

Go on Youtube and search South Main Auto. Eric does a leaky front axle on a Branson Tractor. Its likely to be the same with respect to how it comes apart. The 2538 gaskets are TYM parts.

Mine is torn. Upholstery places don't want to be bothered. I prefer an aftermarket seat if it will bolt right in without problems and without spending $$$$$.

I was once told Mahindra does not repair HST"s but just replaces them. If thats it then your looking at $9k for a new HST unit + a whole lot of man hours.

Turn the fan to any speed on. Check for voltage at the fan. If nothing, there is likely a (blower motor) relay that quit.

What price range should I sell it for ? 53 hrs, fully serviced, garaged kept. Thanks

Anyone know where I can get them without buying the entire assembly ? These are for the fuel filter on the right side of the tractor (silver bowl).

My 2538 has only 36 hours on it. The backhoe outriggers will fall down in less than a day. Used to take a week. Likely poor quality cylinders and/or control valves ?

I have a Briggs 01679 standby generator using a 570 v-twin motor # 354447 0122-e1. Speed wanders and sometimes backfires. This runs on propane. Anyone have a service manual / parts list for the fuel system ?:confused2:

I would like to pick up the Garuda tool (same thing the dealer uses) but can't find if it is for sale. Any dealers want to chime in ? :confused2:

New guy here from nw Florida. Been reading posts for a while and finally signed-up. Likely to hang out in the Mahindra forum. Talk to ya soon !:thumbsup:
