2655 HST Pump gone bad, no help from Mahindra

You said " leaking yellow fluid" , What is that? Sounds like water in the oil to me.

Looked like anti-freeze but I believe it was transmission fluid

When my HST pump went it leaked out the 'reddish' color hydro fluid and all functions ceased .....had to be winched onto a flatbed.

10 grand! The pump I purchased was total, with shipping, & install about 2 grand.....

Thank you for the insight. I thought Mahindra might have been able to do several things to keep a customer happy:
1) Since Mahindra is still building these tractors, pull a pump from the manufacturing line.
2) Contact the pump manufacturer to get me a valid date for when I can expect to receive the part.
3) Extend the end date of my warranty since I'm not logging hours on the tractor.

I appreciate the situation that they may be in, but I'm disappointed in how willing they are to let me twist in the wind without exercising a little creativity.

Extending the warranty would be possible.
Also, maybe the dealer and or "Mahindra" would be a short term lease for a good price on maybe a used dealer tractor or a new one.

They certainly would not pull one out of a new tractor, especially seeing as how it requires splitting the tractor to remove the Pump/Motor unit.

Breaking the tractor in half and reassembling must cost $2000. You must've gotten the pump for free? Where do I get a deal like that?

There is a Uniform Commerical Code adopted by practically every state. One of the rules concerning warranties is that if the warranty fails of its essential purpose, the buyer can be entitled to a refund. So if they can't or won't make repairs under the warranty on a timely basis rendering the tractor useless to you, you might discuss your rights with a litigation lawyer. There have been plenty of these cases involving both cars and tractors over the years.

This is the type pump I thought you were dealing with..Was called the Main Hydro pump by the mechanics and the dealer., took my 2538 out of commission for 4 months View attachment 782350 View attachment 782350

That is your hydraulic pump for your remotes and 3 point on the larger section and your power steering on the small section.
Your main "hydro" pump would usually be construed to mean the portion of the hydrostatic drive system that drives the motor section.
