So here is the latest on this machine. We did do a pressure test, and pressure built up (though not as high as it should be) and when the pedal was pressed to move forward, the tractor crept very slightly and the pressure would drop to zero. I suspect a relief valve, but even with the shop...

Good to know. We are going to pull them both and see whats going on.

Tobacco is all harvested. Time to get this Max 28 running again. Have my new pressure gauge and I grabbed a 6500 psi hose yesterday. Will post the results/findings.

It does have a tiny schematic, time for my magnifying glass!!

Update: I installed the previously removed & cleaned control valve, worked the air out of the system, topped off the hyrdo fluid, and I still have a weak FEL (full range of movement, just no lifting strength), and it will move forward or reverse but only a few feet and only if I press slightly...

Hey, all the fluids and filters are new, so they're good to go. The pressure test is next, once Amazon delivers the parts!

All my mice were camping under the cowling around the fuel tank/steering wheel. Clutch looked clear when we checked it. We use cotton balls soaked in pure peppermint oil to keep the mice away, seems to be doing the trick. Fall will be the true test, when they all start looking for warm and cozy...

Hey, thanks for checking in. Yeah, all the 100 hour stuff done per the shop manual/Mahindra specs. I have an indy mechanic across the road, he just has no HST experience. If I had my old Ford 8N, he'd be able to fix that. The tractor stayed inside my commercial greenhouse and ran stuff inside in...

Thanks Duffer. I will give that a try. I noticed that one of my pumps fed hydraulics and power steering and the other appears to be drive control.

This is also compounded by the FEL operates but is very weak regarding lifting capacity. The rear hydraulics are fine, can lift a 800 pound mower with ease. Tractor has been mine since 2014, It only has 104 hours on it. It was my commercial greenhouse machine and did heavy lifting at the start...
