Long story on this machine. Has 13xx hours on it. Has always had an issue of starter not kicking in. Used to just click but if you kept trying starter would eventually kick in. Over past years I have replaced starter, ignition switch, battery cables and even voltage rectifier. Now it simply will...

This is a 1989 model with 1250 hours. A year or so ago, the battery warning light began staying on and the battery wouldn't charge. I installed a new voltage regulator/rectifier and it fixed the problem. Yesterday, it suddenly shut down when running. I was able to get it restarted but now the...

Need some help with this. Tractor starting doing this occasionally a couple months ago. Weather was warm so I know its not a glowplug or fuel gel problem. After waiting for the glowplig light to go out, I turn the key and will start but then immediately dies. Now it does it all the time except...

I have managed to crack the lens on one of my 04 DK 65C headilghts. Does anyone know of a source for replacement parts other that the $230 dealer quote? Thanks

Are there any aftermarket resources for a cargo bed lift fitting the HPX? The JD option is just too expensive for me to justify and i just missed a used one on eBay! Any suggestions and ideas appreciated. Thanks

It's been a while since I've posted here but I do visit and read the forums occasionally. I'm having a problem with my HPX diesel. It's becoming increasingly difficult to shift without the gears grinding. I have a little over 400 hours on it now and I'm not sure if something has worn and needs...

Today I received a Recall Notice from John Deere pertaining to the brake master cylinder on HPX Gators that fall between a rather large serial number window. This includes HPX 4x2's and 4x4's, also gas and diesel models. The notice states "the master brake cylinder piston may fail resulting in...

I notice on both the diesel and gas models that the exhaust exits at an angle right toward the inside of the left rear tire. I'm thinking that over prolonged use, the heat from the exhaust will affect the rubber of the tire. Has anyone found a piece of curved tubing that could be used as an...

I've always thought the HPX should have taillights. Most of the other UTV's have them and I know Deere offers them as an additonal option. But, I decided to install the lights myself. I picked up 2 small LED lights at a local AutoZone and installed them below the tailgate. The LED's are durable...

This thing is new too. Last week, when it had accumulated 10 hours, she just shut down. I had been using it for a couple hours so she was warm. Would not restart without choking and continuing to hold choke. Barely limped back to the house, holding the choke and traveling at 2-3mph. Sounded...

Picked up my 6000 with the new ML260 FEL installed. First thing I did was modify it!! I welded a 6' piece of 2"x3", 1/4" thick angle iron to the top lip of the bucket to beef it up and welded on three 5/16" clevis hooks for lifting. I then fabricated a mount on my box blade to carry the...

Hey Guys, Posted this in the Mahindra forum but haven't got any responses. I'm purchasing a FEL for my tractor (Mahindra 6000 2wd) and have the choice of a Great Bend or KMW. It originally had a FEL on it when I purchased it but I decided I didn't need it and had them remove it. Have changed...

When I bought my 6000 (2wd), it had a FEL on it that I convinced myself I didn't need and had it removed. Now, I've determined that I do need a FEL! Dealer is willing to redo the paperwork and include the FEL in my 36 month/0% contract, I just have to pay the difference on the payment I...

Thought I would post about my fun with the 1st oil change. I used the same enclosed oil drain pain that I use with my vehicles. It has a hole in the top that the oil drains into and a vent that you better make sure is open. I made the mistake once of forgetting to open the vent and the oil...

Almost time for my 50 hour service, any oil filter choices besides the dealer? Thanks, Chuck
