3510 Clutch Safety Switch

[pmk013]

Mahindra 3510 -- will not start without pumping the clutch while the key is turned on. By reading other threads, I am thinking it may be the clutch safety switch but I am unable to actually find that specific part online. What are you thoughts and is that a difficult part to change? Thanks in advance. PK

According to Tractor Data you have an electro - hydraulic clutch. Needing to pump the pedal may indicate air in the hydraulic part. Perhaps you could bleed the air like bleeding brakes. TractorData.com Mahindra 3510 tractor information

OK, thank you for the information...I just had the hydraulic system drained and replaced with a new filter. The problem persists. I guess I will take it to a Mahindra tractor repair location for diagnosis and repair. Thanks again. PK

I didn't try the link to see what you guys are talking about but just from what you posted so far you are headed in the wrong direction. The electro-mechanical clutch is for the PTO only, this tractor has a typical single disc dry clutch for the transmission. Early models such as mine didn't have a safety switch on the clutch anywhere, maybe yours is a late model that does have one. Just follow the linkage from the pedal to the bellhousing to see if a switch is present.
