2810 HST durability issues

This is totally off subject, but talking about GM, I read an article somewhere that Saturn has never, not one year ever made a profit. If that is true, it is no wonder that GM got into trouble with operating decisions like that.

Dave, does mahindra really care or is this another one of those oh well's it is on the tractor owner's back? We under stand as the dealer(stealer) there isn't much more you can do, but please quit defending them.

As a customer of Dave's I have always found him to be a concerned and fair dealer. My only concern now is finding out if others might have the same problem or if this is an isolated occurrence. I am sure this is his concern also. I suspect many owners do not inspect and clean the bottom sump during the transmission service. There has been no other indication of problems other than the metal in the bottom. The transmission and hydraulics are all working perfect.

I'm due the 650 hr transmission oil change on my 2810HST. I see drain points on the belly pto, the brake cases and the return elbow along with the filter. Where would these brass particles show up if they exist in my machine?

I'm an old MF guy and will use PermaTran unless there's a reason not to?

When I removed the screen I found pieces of the brass washers on the screen. But I also took a clean colth and wrapped it around screwdriver and moved it along the bottom of the sump, this really attracted the large pieces. Of course, this was around 900 hours when I first noticed the large pieces. At all the previous services I only noticed what I considered excessive very fine brass particles. I also rinsed out all the previous filters to see what was in them, again each time I found what I considered excessive brass fines. Anyway the best of luck!
