I was surprised at how big their hole was. I am normally a good steward of my property, but I needed these things gone. I needed to finish loading up my trailer and my wife is way too allergic so out came the diesel can. I figured just a little would fill the hole, but it didn’t. Even a couple...

I hooked up my trailer, backed it up to my shop door, and was slowly driving my mower up the loading ramp when - BAM - a hornet nailed my wrist. I smashed it and continued loading the mower. My wife came out and I cautioned her just as she took off running. We went in the house and put baking...

I thought I was a pretty good horse trader, but I traded my old truck for a new one and that dang guy skinned me like a shot deer, I tell ya what.

I have no experience with Mitika, but I do have a Ryobi 40V string trimmer and chain saw. They share two batteries. I really, really like both of them. Great tools. Pole saw is gonna be next purchase.

Good job on that. I could use one of those. Two or three actually.

I keep the shaft and collar well oiled. Turn the shaft with my hand until they line up, pull the collar back and slide the shaft forward. Boom, Bob’s your uncle. Oil is my friend and my very bestest friend is Lucas gun oil.

The WUBEN E7 is a good looking little light and the price doesn’t break the bank. I also like that you can get an extension tube and use a longer battery. Question: can you clip it to the bill of your cap or must you use the headlight harness thing? I have a rechargeable Milwaukee light that...

I’m looking to buy my daughter a dash cam for Christmas. She has a 30 mile daily commute on a two lane secondary road that most folks go way too fast on. I’m searching for a front and rear looking cam for around $200. Recommendations appreciated.

My first set of pallet forks was cheap Chinese junk. It didn’t take me any time at all to trash one fork, but the other fork has a hole for a ball. If I’m moving a trailer for a short distance, or need more maneuverability, I use the fork, otherwise I have a ball on the drawbar.

You can’t go wrong with Ken’s bolt on hooks. It’s the first thing I did to my tractor. Easy enough to install and tough as all get-out.

I used my 40V Ryobi just yesterday. It amazes me how well it works very times I use it. I have a Stihl for big stuff, but it hasn’t been fired up in at least a year.

I’ve not tried it, but my late brother-in-law swore by a 50/50 mix of linseed oil and Thompson’s Water Seal.

I got a Dewalt one for Christmas 2-3 years ago. I can’t compare it to a gas or other electric model since it’s the only one I’ve ever used, but I can say it hasn’t disappointed. It’s worked well, done what I ask it to. I know nothing about gas ones, but I do know my shoulders despise pull starters.

My bands are 18tpi. I have used them to cut metal, plastic, PVC, and just about everything else. Even wood occasionally. My saw is a corded Milwaukee deep cut that I picked up used a dozen years ago. It usually resides on a stand I made for it, but can go from stationary to portable in about...

When I bought my tractor eight years ago the first thing I did was bolt on a set of Ken’s hooks. I have used and abused them and they haven’t complained a bit. That’s the route I would go.

i’ve used Rock Auto maybe a dozen times. No issue.

My dear wife says “her” tractor is a force multiplier. We don’t use it every day, but when we do it’s worth every penny.

I use to have a few moles, not many, but a few. And then Molly came along. She’s a really sweet black lab some dirtbag dumped in a hayfield down the road from us. She lived out there on her own for about six months before we finally talked her into the car. She’s a very good dog and can sniff...

Super good job on that.

Original Medicare.

I think it depends on how bad your hearing loss is. I have had profound hearing loss for 25 years and the only devices that work for me at all are high dollar - about $3,500 each - and my insurance doesn’t pay a dime. My current ones are 7+ years old and starting to fail. I need news one, but...

Nice job on that.

I had a 120V Eastwood that I fried on one of its first tasks which was making a hog trap. I upgraded to a 240V Hobart which had served me well. I know some people have had good experiences with a 120V, but mine was disappointing. If you can swing it at all, I would recommend wiring in 240V...

I think that will work very well for you. Good job.

Simple little tractorport keeps the rain and sun off.

Thanks. Behind the dash is where they like to chew and make nests. You can’t see them, don’t know they are there until it’s too late. I’ve kept fresh moth balls all around the dash the last couple of years. You gotta keep them fresh, replace them monthly. It seems to be working.

Rats have chewed through one of the wiring harnesses on my 3616 three times. The last time they got into the main harness as well. I currently don’t have hazard or head lights because of it. I don’t enjoy wire work so I have been postponing it. I reckon I need to splice some wires and coat the...

We had something over 27 inches of rain in about ten days time. The UPS lady told me she got her truck stuck in mud three times. You know what else she told me? “I thank the Lord for good people with tractors. I haven’t had to call a tow truck yet” Yep, sometimes I think the world is...

I have a Craftsman that has served me well for probably 25 years. If it ever dies I will probably replace it with a Klein similar to the one you posted on Amazon. Klein has a good reputation and the prices aren’t through the roof. Home Depot stocks them if you want to get a hands-on look at them.

Nice! Good job thinking of that.

There has been a lot of flooding, roads washed out, water up to roof tops, one tornado. It’s been a wild week. We have a little creek out back that was completely out of its banks. We’ve been here 13 years and have seen the water this high only once before and that was during a hurricane. I’m...

Don’t know exactly, but over 25 inches.

Molly. Some scumbag dumped this sweet girl in my neighbor’s hayfield back in 2019. She was on her own, damaged a front paw in a steel jaw trap, until we finally coaxed her in the car in early 2020. She was a true blessing to us during the lockdown and every day since. She’s a big sweet gentle...

Me and Maggie in the recliner taking a brief break from hard work. Rested up and ready for work.

Boy howdy, that could have been bad. She was very lucky.

If you keep clicking does it eventually start? If it does it might be the click-click-start problem that plagues several different brands. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/2014-mahindra-3616-shuttle-intermittent-starting-problems.353901/ If that is the problem it can be easily...

Welcome to the forum. We’re up the road a little from you, between Trinity and Lovelady.

My Klean Kanteen was knocked out of my cup holder by tall brush and I ran over it. It doesn’t leak a drop, I still use it every day.

I finally got around to doing this fix to my 2013 Mahindra 3616 this morning. I bought the tractor new and it’s had the click-click starting problem almost from the get-go. I don’t know why I put up with it so long. I thank everyone for the parts numbers and good instructions. They made it an...

I have a set of 48” Chinese forks, but they didn’t last even a year. Thin metal and weak welds. Wound up going to several dealers within a 100 mile range. I chose a set of US made 42” forks. I am very pleased with them. The Chinese forks are in the scrap metal pile waiting to be repurposed.

Sorry, I can’t help you find a replacement motor, but I’m sure curious as to how it happened.

Many years ago I bolted a chain to the underside of my car hood. I ran it around the frame and padlocked it. I would be very concerned about losing the entire tractor.

I don’t have a computer anymore. All I use is an iPhone and iPad, both of which are running DuckDuckGo and Norton AdBlocker. The ads have gotten very annoying and excessive.

I needed to change a mandrel/spindle on my riding lawn mower. I dropped the mowing deck and turned it up on its edge. It has small wheels all along the edge so it was resting on those on my concrete shop floor. I was on my knees, holding one end with my knees, the other end was leaning against a...

Holy moly. Just down the hill from my old stomping grounds. I still have property and family there.

Welcome. I was born and raised in New Mexico, down around Cloudcroft.

I was thinking 392 Hemi.

Six people, four dogs. Just right for our little house. Aged four to seventy. I’m thankful for both my people family and my dog family.

I was thinking of putting a 20V Dewalt jumper on my Christmas list, since I already have the batteries, but I’m rethinking that. I’m not sure I want to expose them to our summer Texas heat in a vehicle. And Dewalt may not be the best option anyway. I’m thinking maybe a NOCO 1200 amp is a better...

JB Weld is another great product. They make one for just about application and they all work well. I was watching an old Gunsmoke a few days ago and and one of the characters said’ “I’ve spent half my life fixin things and the other half mending my fixes” That’s definitely me.

Here are a couple of photos of the Milwaukee if you’re still interested. I just used it to work on my daughter’s vehicle. I know you don’t like the switch, but it’s a very handy little fella.

Uh oh. Yes, on the Milwaukee the first time you push the button it comes on at the highest setting, push again for middle settling, again for lowest and then again for off.

Milwaukee REDLITHIUM™ USB ROVER™ Pivoting Flood Light It’s small, magnetic base, carabiner clip, USB rechargeable, pivots, and has three brightness levels. The only downside is that on the highest level, 550 lumens, the battery only lasts a couple of hours. I have extra batteries and usually run...

When the battery died on my 2013 Mahindra 3616 I took it to NAPA and got an equivalent Interstate. They easily matched it and I’ve had good luck with Interstates in the past.

I bought a new set of pallet forks. Yep, it was just a few short months ago I was the proud owner of a new set of Chinese forks. Well, partly my fault, largely their fault, I was in the market for a new set. But it wasn’t a total failure, I used them long enough to know what features are...

No, sorry, I use to be a Mac guy, but haven’t had a computer for several years; just an iPhone and iPad. Never had a Windows device.

I think it probably depends on how bad your hearing is. I have profound hearing loss in both ears. My hearing is so bad I had completely quit talking on the phone. My wife had to make all our business calls. These are my first hearing devices and I am very thankful they have that option. It is...

I’ve had my forks for a couple of weeks now and they have sure come in handy. It’s very quick and easy to swap between bucket and forks. So pleased with them. Thank y’all for your help.

Hello everyone. I have a 2013 Mahindra 3616 HST with the ML115 FEL. I’m thinking of purchasing a set of pallet forks and need advice on the connection system. I think it uses the Skid Steer Tool Carrier method? Anything in particular I should be aware of? Thanks.

Hello everybody, I need some help with the hose that connects the hydraulic filter to the pipe on a 3616 HST. It is not the same size on both ends, one end is reduced. I grew up working on cars in my dads garage and vaguely remember Fords having something similar back in the late 60s. Can...

Hello. We retired a couple of months ago and moved to our property outside of Trinity, TX. We have a lot of clearing to do so bought a new Mahindra 3616. I've been lurking for a whole, decided it's time to come out of the shadows. ~JohnP3616
