Grading 2555 Died & Won't Start

RNeumann · Oct 3, 2017

As a fellow Mahindra owner who is happy with my machine I do have one question. WTF is up with a grease fitting on the timing gear? Even my 1963 straight 6 Nova wagon used engine oil to lubricate the timing gear bearings!
Hope it's an easy fix and the parts are readily available.hope you can snap a photo of the zerk and share that with everyone on here- I'm sure other folks will want to know about that one!

I just found that fitting last week. Greased for the first time after 170hrs. How often do the recommend it get done?

I have the 33/38 HP motor and find nothing in the manual. I'll have to look to see if I've got a zerk up there.

theres not one on the 33 or 38 1500 series

Iv never actually seen one fail though so I wouldn't beat yourself up about it... it was covered under warranty meaning they prolly found something flaw from factory. Its not one to load up with grease a lot and as reagular as a loader or linkage fitting.... just hit it with a few shots when you do regular maintenance maybe once a month

Does the 4025 have a fitting?? I have never seen one, but I was not looking for it either.

Nothing in the manual about it that I have seen.

No sir

Others off top of my head would be like 5500 and Mpower series that have the fitting... that mean 30series and 60series also

They brought my tractor back yesterday. I was digging post holes for my fence and I see my tractor coming down the driveway. No call, no update, nothing. I can’t say I’m impressed with my dealer.

The tractor, however, started right up and ran great. The only issue I noticed is the light that comes on when the engine is cold is now coming on every time I start the engine and it stays on for a couple minutes. Not a big deal.

It sure is nice to have her home. She just topped 100 hours yesterday as well - hopefully I will have many more hundreds with no issues.

Ha your software must have not been updated yet. The heater light is suppose to do that with the new update youll get a pre start that you need to let run before you crank once its off you crank the tractor and youll get another time process. Good to go

Are you working with Mountain Farm out of Crossville? I just bought a neighbors 2016 2555 cabbed HST, and the bumper-to-bumper warranty runs out in 4 months. I called MF to find out about the service record, and what they recommend. After 3 calls, I still don't have my answer. Not off to a good start.

Hey erkme, dont know if you are new to tractors but a few things i found useful doing to mine was wrapping up hyd hoses that were close to metal frame,etc. with old inner tube and zip ties to prevent wear. used paint pen on clean metal to put witness marks on any bolts/nuts that were structural in nature so i can see at a glance if tnhey are loosening up. such as rim bolts/ loader frame bolts, etc. used dieeltrci grease on various connections to help prevent corrosion. sprayed lube on the throttle cable/body that is mounted to the left side of engine since it would periodically not go to full throttle. did it about 75 hours ago and no problem since. now have close to 90 hours.

meh, right or wrong this is what i did and seems to help. i am enjoying using my OS 2555 hst. got it ready for winter plowing.
