Thank you again arrow. my guy friend that is an electrician can help me if that ever arises. They did botch it. And for it to come back serviced like it was, well it didn’t even look good. And it sure didn’t sound good. They have never brought it back in the shape it was in. And when the retired...

I just looked over the posts today and your posts are not on here. I answered everyone and I was scrolling through this craziness. I didn’t take a screenshot of them but as I was scrolling up and trying to let others know what happened, I kept running across your posts that were something like...

Well, I hate that. Nothing that was happening made any sense. I sent my tractor in to get serviced and instead of calling and telling me they broke the wires on a simple plug or my gosh just replacing the plug they sent me my tractor back jacked up. I was livid. I apologize.

DaBear3428, I have seen many posts, and I am guilty of it, and obviously was guilty of it this time. Words on a keyboard cannot be expressed like talking to a person. I have taken texts wrong. I have sent texts to people and they took it wrong. We called, explained and no big deal. Like I said...

Hello Arriw, the reason I keep posting was because Sorry Hornet, I was pretty upset when I put my fingers on the keyboard. My apologies.

Everything is fixed and good to go,now. After two months. To answer your questions. The only wires holding the sensor plug on was the hot wires. And not many of them were there. They knew this from the dealership because they took the time to tuck the other two wires neatly into itself. No...

LOL!!My friends said go out with him and get you a new tractor! After he showed out over the phone with me, I saw who he was. So sorry. 😢

Ha ha ha! Meeeeeee, too! I was ready to choke some folks! 😂🤭I don’t like ignorance and I sho don’t have time for stupidity.

I love mine. I got on the bigger one when I test drove the one I got and I turned around and said hmmm nope. Too much power and I know me. Mine is the 1538. Same thing as the 1533. It may be old but a couple of more payments and it is paid for! DaBear3428 what size did you end up getting?

Ok. Some of these are the same thing. My apologies if I didn’t just say the facts. It was such a mess, I couldn’t leave anything out. It was like a bad dream. Hopefully, the new manager and I are on the same page and he knows I know a little bit about what I am doing. Respect from both sides...

Oh puhleeze get on your phone arrow and read it. I am trying to thank people and this whole time you have been waiting. Sorry for the delay. I got a bad case of COVID in my lungs.

That is what I did just to get the plug tied in.

DaBear3428, you sounded like my brother! 😂 He sent me a text and said what has happened now and who do I need to whip? 😂

Posted. Sir. Posted.

And I am here waiting on you. I think I have answered this 4 times? Did you miss me? Was the suspense getting you? It about got me. Then COVID hit me. Where are you?

Again. Right here. If you are waiting on me you are walking backwards! 😂 Where are you?

Here! Right here, in the big recliner! Where are you? 😂

I drove 48 miles to work and 48 back and I enjoyed it. Then straight to the golf course! But I wasn’t pulling a big tractor behind me. Nope, I have pulled horse trailers, too and I am done with big stuff.

Right here with COVID trying to recuperate. I posted to you before. I am better and happy. I just haven’t been able to get work done because of COVID.

You, too. DaBear3428. Oh you guys needed some female panic attack action on here. I am kidding. 😂

I am sorry. I was a wreck. I have so much going on here and then the dealership messed me up. It put me way behind and I just couldn’t think. I am sorry if the other post sounded like I was not being nice to you. I reread it and I can see where you were coming from. “You” didn’t mean you...

Oh yes it was!

Dang y’all like posting this one? 😂😂 Settle down, I just posted.

The facts have been posted now.

I replied. It might have gone to arrow. I got real sick with COVID after my tractor came safely home. Sorry for the delay but this is the first day up for me. I am still weak as a cat. But lungs are healing.

And there it is! Thank you DaBear3428. We are all dealing with a society that doesn’t mind taking your money but they don’t want to learn anything or fix anything. Another generation lost. Thank you, again.

And there they are sir.

I agree. I drove the long vans of athletes when I was in college and we were going to a tournament. Those idiots would scream every time I went around a curve. I finally pulled over and said next! I am not pulling an expensive tractor and trailer 60 miles. I did pick up a load of umpires for a...

Checked, checked and double checked. I cleaned battery cables again with all of my new tools and sprayed them. No corrosion but I did it anyway. I just posted what happened. I lost my dang temper when they brought it back after being serviced and it was like a half licked calf. I had never...

I got a real bad case of COVID after my tractor was delivered. So there is your answer. I would highly advice everyone not to get it! It has been horrible. I am double vaxed and have had the booster. This is one of the variants from Omicron. They are working on a booster now that will zap the...

Sorry, I am late. I got COVID after I got my tractor back. I got mechanics that had left dealership to connect the plug that the dealership sold me. Then they returned my tractor that of course would not crank. That is all they did, just wired the plug into wire that goes to water sensor. Then I...

Thank you K5lwq! Thank you for calmly and politely explaining this. I don’t understand why others jumped me. But that is ok. Shame on them. Because I am a woman trying to clean up this old farm by myself I thought I would come here and check it out. I have learned a lot on here. I simply come on...

All the mechanic did was put the plug in to the water sensor on bottom of spin on fuel filter of which the dealership should have done instead of hot wiring it in and then tucking left over wires into the wire tubing. It should have been fixed. The mechanic had to splice the wire into the wire...

I understand that. I tried. I waited. I was nice. I even told them I wasn’t putting blame on anyone. I don’t know those new guys and you are right. I should have gone toe to toe with the dealer again, again and again. But as long as I have been doing business with them I have always been treated...

Thank you.

No. The mechanics that worked on my tractor, at the Mahindra dealership, since I have had it quit and went to another dealership. And after hearing from two guys i sent there to buy tractors said they left because no one would help them. I went to get the part and when I walked in the guys at...

I just spent 600 dollars on service and the tractor would not crank when I got it back from being serviced. I jumped off, primed fuel filter and it fired up! It didn’t sound like my tractor. I drive it and parked it. I was busy for a few days and looked over at my tractor and fuel was running...

Hello? Anyone? I nearly bought a new tractor, Brandon at the dealership but I ended up calling Mahindra. They were no help so I asked to speak to a supervisor. I filed a complaint against the dealership. I was so hopping mad! I doubt anything will happen but now the other guys said it is going...

Thank you Mwayne and Eagle1. I found my mechanics at another dealership. They were tired of being screamed at and quit the Mahindra dealership. The Both of them. I called and asked if they could fix my tractor. Yes. So, they spliced the wire, plugged in fuel filter, bled the lines and now the...

Thank you Mwayne and Eagle1. I found my mechanics at another dealership. They were tired of being screamed at and quit the Mahindra dealership. The Both of them. I called and asked if they could fix my tractor. Yes. So, they spliced the wire, plugged in fuel filter, bled the lines and now the...

Good idea. They certainly did. I cannot stand shoddy work. I never have had one problem from them. Now the owner wants me to believe it was me. I am not buying what junk he is selling me. I blistered him with a video to his smart remarks in front of the guys at the dealership, Sunday. I have had it.

Ok. 😂 Well this one does. I have clouded and thundered and now they are making me wait. I guess they are after this mistake. They are probably having to fix their other mistakes. Grrr

Thank you. I posted there after I read your response. It is only about 10 inches long. I just have a wire going to the power. Not another plug.

I sent my 1538 Mahindra to be serviced. They have had a lot of guys quit the dealership and they are working at another dealership. I get my tractor delivered after 3 weeks and it wouldn’t crank. I checked everything, nothing. Then it tried but no crank. I primed the new spin on filter and it...

Dealership was suppose to call yesterday. Nothing. Nothing today either. I am attaching better pictures. Maybe that would help with less confusion. The first picture is the old plug that plugs into the water sensor on the bottom of the filter. You can see the yellow thing isn’t there. It has to...

I need your help and wisdom again. I just got my Mahindra 1538 serviced. $600.00 worth. I got it back and drove it a little bit to check things out. I saw smoke, like fumes coming from the front part of the engine and just figured that it was left over fluid burning off from where they had...

Thank you.

Do I really need to get my last service done? I can get filters, fluid, everything online.

Mine will.

Put the auger down slowly and make contact, lower it while PTO is on, pull it up, get clay out, next time go deeper and keep doing that. Dig and repeat.

And sometimes things can happen before you know it. I bet that was heck of a job he did by himself.

We took them all out, put the meter on them and they show up good. I am about to start a triple check so see if we missed something. My friend brought his multi meter and we made sure both were working correctly. After he checked things and I had already checked them, then I still have the...

They are. That is what we can’t get. Possibility we missed it under the cover on the positive where it crooks under. I am doing a double check again in a few minutes. Thanks!

We took them apart, cleaned them checked them and reconnected Ed and nothing. No dash lights. Fuses are good, we have checked everything.

We have done this today and zero power. No lights on dash, no, nothing.

They are great. Someone posted on here before and showed them. I looked them up and wow! I like them.

I got these and they are the best money I have ever spent. Beats Mahindra telescoping ones hands down! Love them.

Thank you. I will try it.

That click, click at the end of the video is what I was hearing.

And that I will try Next. Thank you.

Checked battery connections first and all fine. i am going to clean things up and try it again. Thanks. 😀

Will do.

I jumped on the tractor, Mahindra 1533 and hit the key. Lights started flashing everywhere and then a clicking noise underneath. This is on the left hand side of the tractor in the front. Battery is juiced. With the one problem. Tractor won’t crank and I can’t read a schematic from the...

What is the first you do when your tractor will not crank and you know what the first thing to check is? Yep, you guessed it. I am just shaking my head. 🤦🏼‍♀️Switch under the seat. Oh…my…goodness! The hard part, y’all got me through and thank you. We did it! lol Changing the fuel filters. No...

Thank you. Those were what I needed.

Thank you! Got them.

I just ordered the ones from ag supply. The ones Bill had welded are hard to slide and line up. Since I am having to do this, I thought get what is easier for me. Thank you.

Ok, going out to clean battery and trace back now.

Trying that in just a minute. They are clean but I remember having a problem before and a farmer told me to take battery cables off, clean posts and put back on.

No cranking, it doesn’t even turn over. All of the lights come on. Yes, canisters filled, o rings lubricated. Ok, it has cooled off a little so I will go out and try purging the system more. Thank you.

Sounds like Spinal myelopathy, my Ace (Boxer rescue) was on wheels for 3 months until he started having seizures. I had to put him down. I lost three rescues last year. All 3 were put quietly and humanely down. It was horrible, one I had 15 years, one for 8 years and one for 3 years. I am so...

Between the heat and rain, I have completed the draining and cleaning of storage tanks. Then fuel filters came in and I actually got them on. Put diesel on the o rings, filled up filters before putting them on. Put those on, tightened up everything, jumped on the seat and nothing. Lights came on...

I washed out storage fuel tanks with Dawn and then dried them out with a hair dryer. lol Don’t laugh. It worked. Those storage tanks were gross. I never thought about it. I also picked up the Howe’s. I have studied everything and about to go take my test on changing the fuel filters. Oh Lord...

How did you even get in the fuel tank? On mine, it has a plastic filter and then a screen in the bottom. I didn’t want to waste fuel looking in the tank but didn’t want to tear screen out either. I am going out and look at it again. It was about dark when I was working on it last night.

Thank you so much. I am going to Google it now. That slimes yellow junk is what concerns me. I didn’t want to put filters on and go through this again. Here I go on my mechanic work. lol I think I am ready.

Thank you. After reading and researching more I got to thinking about the tanks. I think I am cleaning them out, too.

Thanks mwayne. You are my hero. [emoji3]

I need your help with this, please. As some of you know I had water in my fuel. My fuel filters are finally in and I have a question or two. I am thinking I need to clean my fuel tanks and my tank and fuel lines on Big Red. The fuel when drained the first time had a yellow slime in it plus...

RNeuman has left the building. I was just looking over this thread after Bill posted on mine. Does anyone use any of these stabilizers?

I understand your frustration. I had the most problems from John Deere. Never again. I hope your problems get resolved. I love my big Red tractor.

If we Mahindra owners are suppose to “drain water once in a week or earlier if water contamination is excessive” according to manual, it would be nice to have the clear bowl on the bottom to check it. I guess that is why we have the sensor light. I am waiting on parts to get here but it is so...

Thank you!

Mwayne, I am reading over posts and I remember being at the dealership and they were showing things on my tractor. The gas light or water sensor had been on before and they showed me where to drain water from what Mahindra calls the main filter, the black one with pump on top close to firewall...

Bearthebruce, you are right, I didn’t. I drained it out again and pure diesel. It had some yellow sediment in the bottom of glass container. It doesn’t now. New filters are ordered.

That is it. Thank you!

A dealership orphan. [emoji3] Well hopefully it will not be much longer for me. Thank you mwayne. I will check it now. I have been looking online this afternoon. I am getting behind and I don’t like it. Too much going on. Thank you so much for the help. The guy that was helping out around here...

Thank you so much for doing this. About to try it. lol

Oh good! Thank you. I am trying. I never thought I would be on this adventure but I am loving it. I learn knew things every day. My fingernails aren’t manicured anymore but that is ok. I have plenty of gloves and learning to work on the tractor myself. It is a challenge. [emoji3]

That is what I am about to do on my 1533. Did you order online or dealership for the fuel filters?

Or jaxs is that a good thing? lol I

I change my mind after all of your posts. I think from you experience and knowledge that I need to change the filters and make sure it is all out. Nice meeting all of you. Thank you.

Hello Bruce. Yes sounds the same. I have drained it two more times. And it was pure diesel today. I think the main filter is filled with that yellow slime that came out. I have used it a couple of days after my original post but it was a no go today. So I cleaned out fuel again and washed it...

PS I did wash it today. It was pretty caked up with mud. [emoji3]

First picture is hard to see but that is the main filter, on left side close to firewall with sensor and plug. The 2nd pic is the lower filter that has a nut in the bottom, just remove but don’t lose the washer and let it drain. Both were clear diesel today. But no go. It wouldn’t crank. So...

Hello mwayne. On mine there is a filter close to the firewall that sits up high and has the sensor then the other one sits closer to the front of the tractor on the left side. Both on left side. I knew the guy that drained the fuel out before when this happened stayed only on one side. I drained...

Hello 3gunr. Ok. Thank you. I was afraid of that. I think that sludge junk that came out probably messed up the main filter that is close to the firewall with the sensor in the bottom. Did you order online or through dealership? We know what the dealership will charge. Double or triple the price.

Hello RustyA I did. I left the bottom lightly tightened and primed it, pure diesel when it ran out after letting it drain, so I knew it was fuel and I could finish tightening.

Thank you for responding bearthebruce. I used it two days for a couple of hours. Ran out early today before it got too hot and it wouldn’t crank. I drained both filters again and caught the fuel and there was zero water. All diesel.

Oh no. I am so sorry. Well, it didn’t crank today. I ran it two days for a couple of hours each day. I drain both fuel pumps into a large glass container. Zero water. I have had it. I need to bush hog and everything else. I give. 🤷🏼‍♀️

It sounds like Big Red. After I plugged water sensor light back in that shows on my dash but other lights all off. No smoke. Sounds good as always. I am back up and running.

No one?

Well looks like I will call the dealer. I just knew someone would answer. Oh well.

Yes I did. Plunger got hard to push and that is when I know it is ready to crank. It cranked and that is when I cut it off and then took off sensor, cleaned it, let fuel drain out until it was nothing but diesel. I guess I should have done that first but I didn’t.

I am too. The tank I had, I had filled up tank on tractor and it ran, it still had fuel in it and when I went to fill it back up is when I noticed the water in the tank.

You are going to love it! Congrats!

Found the manual and did more research. I feel like I am in college again but now I am working on my tractor. I made another post hoping that you can spread your knowledge with me. Thank you.

Hey y’all. I am a country girl that ended up in the city and the golf course. After my parents passed away I moved back to the farm and now working to get ever thing fixed. My hired hand quit me. Not surprised. Anyway, I have fenced in 16 acres and concreted every post in. Posts were painted...

Yep. I love mine. It is my husband. [emoji56]

PNeuman did you ever get either one of these?

That looks good to me.

How are the stabilizer bars doing? I am getting ready to ditch the old welded ones and get new ones. I thought I would come back to this page and see what you all posted. Thanks.

I had water in fuel. Drained it out, added additive to new fuel. Primed pump, tractor ran for two hours. Had to stop work for the evening and went back yesterday and it would run for about a minute or two with smoke blasting out again and shut off it or I shut it off. I have moved recently and...

I am looking for one, too.

Just wanted to say thank you again. Got it off this am. Put the screw driver in the slots, pushed in the white tab, got another screw driver and applied some pressure to the back of the gaurd and click. Went to the next tab, same thing, click. Third, same thing and it was off! Sometimes...

Much better design!

Those look great! Good job.

I like those.

How are they holding up? Mine are still working but a pain to try to line up the holes after the weld to other implements.

I was using too many farm words. Back at it tomorrow. Thank you.

Oh no.

Sounds like a plan. Thank you. I am going to check these out.

[emoji23] Thank you. I needed good news after fighting this. Back to it in the morning. It is coming off!

lol No screws. I kept thinking I was missing the screw. Nope. Notta. None. This one is hateful.

That is the truth. This one has baffled me. About to go back out and try it again. Thank you.

Thank you. Yes, I have done that. I have about reached my limit. lol

Thank you so much!

Please help. I have watched and read everything. I am close to getting the sawzall to it. I cannot get a thing to work. Thank you! [emoji3]

I know this is on here but...I can’t find it. Would anyone happen to know how to get this off? Please.

Hello. I know this has been talked about on here before but here goes. Anyone have a clue as to get this off without cutting it off? I have pushed, pulled, read, watched, basically looked everywhere. I can’t get it off.

I need help getting pto safety guard off.

I get mine by the gallon at a Goodyear Service Store. If something large goes in the tire, you have to clean out the area inside the tire, fix it and you are back in business.

Got some good metal, lined up the holes, welded and filed. Worked great and I bush hogged today without a problem. I see a lot of great replies. Thank you.

They are good tractors. And I know what happened. The telescoping anti sway bars are made of cheap, porous pot metal. I have been looking for a fix. The original owner tried to “fix” it. I think I am building a new set. I welded mine and then bush hogging lost the part that connects to the draw...

Here is one.

I have read the old posts, posted, got no response. I have welded them where they broke, then they broke again. Not in the weld but in that cheap, porous metal. My buddy and I have tried everything. I am checking in to see if anyone has responded to my earlier posts before I go back out and walk...

I own a Mahindra 1533. I had a John Deere before I bought the Mahindra. I do t have a large place but the John Deere wasn稚 big enough or strong enough to handle my small farm. I have been reading on here and have learn a lot.
