My machine, 2013 L4240HSTC, has started leaking hydraulic fluid from the split pin plug under the clutch housing. Not a serious leak, but several drops on the concrete where it is parked. I'm fairly confident that it is hydro fluid and not engine oil. It is almost clear and not dark. After...

Finally got her installed. I was able to pile some burn piles today. I really like everything about it so far. Great job EA. Thanks!

I'm sure this has been asked before but how important do y'all consider the little boots that cover the ball joint on the tie rods? The tractor is a L4240 and I noticed one of mine was pulled back, after some sweat and blood I managed to the get the thing back in place. I checked the other side...

Hello Everyone, I'm a new owner of a L4240HSTC, bought her used with about 95hrs 2 months back. So far so good, but I have been noticing that the engine temp gauge shows exactly 50% all of the time. (after warmup). The gauge has 8 boxes that will illuminate, mine always has 4. I didn't think...

My brother just picked up a brand new Kioti CS2410 SCUT. Loader, Mid-mount Mower, and Backhoe. We both have little or no experience with HST trans, being my tractor is Gear and all ones we have ever had have been gear. We were working some dirt, fairly large pile and noticed when we went to load...

Hello everyone, I recently discovered, or what seems to be, my throwout bearing is going bad on my 2816 gear at only 180 hrs. It has a terrible scream when clutched and a rubbing noise when released. I posted a question about this on the general forums and everyone confirmed the throwout...

Hello Everyone, This may sound brand specific, but I think all manual tractors would be fairly similiar, I have a Mahindra 2816 and over the past couple of days it has started making a houling/rubbing noise whenever you clutch the tractor. Yesterday it started quealing very loud whenever...

I need some advise, my tractor has been leaking (very little) around the oil pan for about a year or so, recently it has become worse, and is beginning to drip on the concrete. Not talking about alot, but a few drops here and there. How hard is it to replace the gasket, or could I use some...

Yesterday, I popped the hood on my tractor to find that my battery terminals are severely corroded, not only that, but the battery bracket and the battery plate, bolts and all are very rusty. I looks as if my battery may be leaking. I washed everything and sprayed some golf cart acid nutralizer...

Hello all! It may possibly be nothing wrong but... recently I've noticed that my clutch pedal doesnt need to be pressed in as far as it did around 50 hours ago. This is for the 1st stage, or transmission portion. It only needs to be pressed about an inch or two to stop the tractor. I tested it...

Hello all, I have a rather difficult question. On my 2816 there are a couple of rubber plugs that seem to keep water and dirt out of the tranny. They are located directly between your feet on the transmission. Mine has two and I'm missing one of them. It looks as if water or dirt could get in...

I was just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to keep your rotary cutters blades out of the dirt. I know this sounds rather stupid, but I have about 5-7 acres to mow that was cleared last year. Just a little rough, but overall flat, but everytime the tractor goes over a ridge or rut I have...

I have an old rotary cutter 5 footer, I think the brand is International, rusted out, bent up, not worth a much, and the splines are going bad on the blade holder. The splines on the gear box shaft seem to be ok. I'm calling the blade holder the part/ or medal bar that the stump jumper mounts...

I was doing some routine bushhoggin, when I got finished I thought that I should check the gear oil, probably be better to do this before I mow:o, but anyways I noticed the oil was nearly as white as milk and fairly thin. I figured that the gears had beat the oil to a froth, so I decided to let...

I just got my hands on an old, worn out bush hog, thats looks badd, I've been looking for one like this so I dont scratch and bend my new one. Anyways I have recently started underbrushing about 3-4 acres of small - medium trees ranging from .5" to 3". Its very tight between bigger trees and...

Just got my Pats Quick Hitch Installed. So far so good. Looks like I'm going to have to buy a new top link and grind on my box blade so it will fit. O-well I'm so sick of jerking on that three point that I was willing to do anything. My question is, I Really like to tilt my lift arms when using...

Took my Mahindra to my dealer yesterday for a service job, we were talking and he said let me show you our new line of tractors. The name was LS Tractor, I posted the link down below to the website. I was very impressed with the specs and price. Just wondering if any of you guys have heard...

My neighbor just bought a John Deere 3320 and has a seat that has about 4-6 inches of travel. I asked and he said he didnt think it was standard equipment. My Mahindra 2816 has little 1 inch springs, and if you hit a hole just right its plain rough. "make your head hurt" I know its not a...

I was thinking about adding a set of rear remotes to my Mahindra 2816. I called my dealer and he said Mahindra makes a kit, and that it would run me about $800:eek: installed. Does that seem about right. Do other major brands cost this much? Give me some of your opinions. Thanks, Jonathan

I hope this isnt a brand specific question, but I have some questions about shifting gears on my Mahindra 2816. Its a gear tranny with Constant mesh on gear shift and sliding mesh on range selection. What does this really mean? Is is sycronized or Not. I live down a long (1/2 mile) road with...

I recently noticed that I have some oil leaking out around the bottom of my engine. I cant really figure out where its coming from. Thought I might let yall take a look before I haul her to the dealer. Its not enough to drip but its on both sides of the frame. Should I be concerned, or what? Let...

How often to you guys change your air filter. It got pretty dusty this summer when we cleared out some land. I used my tractor 15 hours or so in some real dusty areas. My dealer said just shake it out now and then. I took a look at it yesterday, bumped it a few times, cleaned out the trap in the...

I checked my engine oil level yesterday and noticed the color was black/grey. Is that normal? My tractor has about 35 hours, bought new in May. I remember checking the oil back in early summer and dont remember it looking so dark. I'm rather green to diesel engines, this is my first, so I just...

I think I may have a problem with my woods heritage cutter. Its only 3 months old, probably 10hrs of cutting mostly grass, small brush, < 1 inch. This past weekend while cutting I hit some sticks/roots and it started to vibrate fairly hard. I stopped PTO and then started back and everything was...

I was wondering what Engine RPM Speed do you normally operate when doing misc FEL work, pushing small trees with FEL, or just driving around. My tractor has a gear drive, the manual says run, basically wide open. I do understand while bush hogging you need 540 at the PTO, but I am asking about...

To Start, I hate a bent bucket. With that said, my 2816 has 18hrs and I have already managed to bend it. It was a rare incident,I was pushing up an old fence and wedged a wooden fence post just perfect enough to bow out my upper lip about 1 inch. My question is, do I need to reenforce my outter...

I've been working on cleaning up some land recently and have needed to cut some rather thick brush. What size material do yall recommend being the maximum to try to cut? I have a Woods Hertiage 5ft cutter and the manfacturer specs say 1". I believe it will handle alittle more. Just wanted a...

My 2816's loader (ml106) cylinders have black inserts rather that chrome like most other hydralic systems. I'm just curious but is there any difference. When I bought the tractor they had a several models including a 2816 with chrome cylinders. It probably doesnt make any difference in...

My 2816 has a sticker on the fuel tank that says use low or ultra low sulfur diesel fuel only. My dealer gave me a full tank of offroad diesel(red) when I bought the tractor but I was noticing at my local fuel station that only the highway diesel(yellow) says ultra low sulfur. The offroad diesel...

I recently purchased a 2009 Mahindra 2816 w/106 loader. I have been clearing brush and small trees with my cutter and loader in hopes of a future home site. Being a rather new tractor operator my question is that does it damage or hurt the FEL when you try to pickup or curl an object that is to...
