My 2006 4530 draft and lift controls are sticking to the point they raise/lower together and are hard to move when both handles are grabbed and pushed in opposite directions. I thought it was due to resistance in the washers/spacers between the handles so I removed them today. After separating...

I have a 2001 6x4 yellow Industrial Worksite Gator with diesel engine. It runs perfect and all the maintenance has been done. It does need new seats and possibly some of the plastic that has cracked, which I have no problem replacing before I sale it. It is built a lot beefier than the...

After discing food plots today I noticed a tapping noise that seemed to come from the area of the clutch. I pulled it in my shop and started looking. I found that I could make the noise go and come by pressing the clutch and letting off quickly. Normally I would say throw out bearing chatter...

Has anyone ever heard of this or tried it? How hard could it be? Is there any important geometry or engineering involved to keep the grass floating and discharging properly? I hit a root and bent mine. Great mower but tired of substandard stamped decks. I have a sheet of 3/16" plate lying...

My 4530 has started producing a loud whine from the transmission area when I put it in 4wd. It does not do it in 2wd. I checked my fluids and just had a full service about 75 hrs ago. It has always had a little whine to it, but now it's very loud. Tractor is going on 5 yrs old with about 320...

I have a mid 80's Power King mower. How much should I ask for it? I have it on Craigslist right now for $2500, but I think that may too high. There are no attachments, but it runs very good and everything works. BTW, sorry for the sideways pic...

Does anyone know if there is a wider rear tire option for the RZT42? I don't have the size but mine are the narrow ones. I have problems turning due to the reversing tire spinning...a lot! I really need better traction. I am looking at my kids 90 four wheeler and thinking hard about seeing...

I am trying to start a new business with my dozer and have a lot of learning to do. I am working on getting the business legalities completed and am now working on the budgeting. I need to know the best way to calculate how much per hour I need to charge for the dozer. I know I need to...

I just got my dozer home finally and started going over it. The right master cylinder for the right brake is empty. I was going to put fluid in it and noticed stamping on the cap that said "Use mineral spirits" on one end and "hydraulic oil only" on the other end of the cap. What does this mean?

I'm trying to buy a dozer and the seller is telling me to qualify for the sales tax exemption I have to provide a farm tax id number. Has anybody heard of this? What is involved to qualify? I'm in Lousiana. I have tried calling local farmers, state and local offices, dealerships, etc and...

I'm looking for opinions on this machine. I found one that is well below normal selling price, but appears to be a very nice machine. It is an early 90's dozer. It has a fresh rebuild with only 20 hours on the new hour meter. It also has a new hyd. pump. The undercarriage is said to be 75%...

I have been reading a lot about people having problems with their tractors (various sizes) spitting and sputtering and coughing blue and white smoke. I had the same thing happen over the weekend and thought I would post this in detail for lessons learned to all. I used my tractor two weekends...

I just acquired a used JD Gator form my company. It has 1200 hours on it but runs great. The body panels are cracked and rattling but are all there. It was used in a refinery for the last 7 years and saw its share of abuse. I can't find much on the net about it. The only ones I can find are...

I am posting this for my uncle. He has a 4500 that is a little over 3 years old. His fuel pump went out the other day. It all started with having a bad seal leak on the pump. It was sucking air and wouldn't pressure up the fuel line. He put it in the shop and they supposedly fixed the...

I don't know why, but I had an urgent feeling that I needed to change all my fluids and filters at 100 hours. I changed the break-in engine oil and filter at 50 hours already. I now have 150 hours on my 4530 and went ahead and ordered the full filter change kit. With it bought and paid for, I...

The light next to my key switch that comes on when you turn the key backward to warm the glow plugs is no longer working. Could this mean the glow plugs are not getting juice, or is it just the light that has burned out? cdover73

I am getting a few aggravating noises and actions that I am curious about. First, when in 4WD or most any low range gear, the mesh of the gears is noisy as heck. I don't think anything is wrong, but there is a roaring noise coming from the entire drivetrain. Is this normal? The oil levels...

I am posting this in regard to my thread on the bent power steering lines. Can someone who has a 4530 do me a BIG favor? I need pics of the bracket where the power steering lines route under the tool box, showing the bottom bracket that bolts from underneath the tractor. Mine is bent and I...

The other day I was moving some dirt around my pond with my 4530 and box blade when the scarifirers caught the root of a small tree (about 6" x 30') and caused it to uproot. When I tried to back off the tree, the root and stump was tall enough to hang up under my tractor. I called myself...

I have a 4530 and I have to ask. If Mahindra makes the engines for these tractors, why do they look and sound so much like a Perkins?

Here is the link to a post I added the other day. I thought you all might get a kick from it. I still can't believe they did this. Check it out and let me know what you think. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/all-other-brands/89192-shibaura-sd2200-w-welded-crank.html

I was out looking for a smaller tractor to work my food plots with and ran across one that I am not considering buying, but couldn't believe what was done to it. It is an older SD 2200 4x4 and looks to be in good shape. The owner says he bought it about 3 years ago and hasn't had any trouble...

I have been using my tractor more and more lately trying to clear out around my pond and other medium duty work. The problem is, everything I hook to is getting bent to heck and back. It started with my boom pole. I was trying move a stump we dug up. It didn't have much dirt on the roots and...

I have a Warn 2.5ci on a 2003 Kawasaki Prairie 360. The other day I was letting a friend ride his young son on the bike around my yard. When they pulled back up I heard a horrible grinding sound and realized the kid was holding onto the handle bars and had his hands on the "in" button of the...

Here are a couple pics of my 4530 and equipment. I posted in the attachments section about my bent box blade. If you haven't seen it, check it out and let me know what you think. This first one is after discing a fire lane around my field.

Well, I did it! Pushing a stump up the other day and creased the neck of my Bush Hog SBX 720 box. The stump was only about 7" or 8" but must have had a **** of a root system. I can still use it to drag my driveway and the pin goes in straight, but it is definately bent. I guess I am going to...

Does anyone know the actual name or color code of the grey on the frame of most newer Mahindra's? I built a front bumper and grill guard and want to paint it to match the frame, but I can't find a match anywhere. I hate to settle with semi-gloss black but may have to.

Anyone out there have any complaints on their 4530 1-4 gear selector (the one on the right hand side of the seat)? I find mine to be very spongy feeling and it doesn't seem that the gears mesh very much, but once in they don't pose any problems. Also, most of the time I can't get into 3rd or...

Hello all, I have been surfing your site for some time and just now registered. I can't believe how much info can be found on here. Your posts have helped me decide on my new tractor and now I am going to ask for my first piece of advice. I am picking up my new 4530 tomorrow. I have seen a...
