4035 - Headed in for 100 hour service - Fuel Line Issue???

[jjmaes22]

My 2012 4035 is headed in for her 100 hour service (a little over 100 now....).

Called the dealer and shes going in next week. Mentioned to him that she is dripping fuel like a thief - leaving puddles anytime you stop. Mentioned that there was a re-call on the fuel lines (replacing the plastic with steel lines or something like that). He didn't have a clue.

Does anyone have any details on the above that I could share with him to help them get this fixed?

I do not believe there is a recall, but it is a known issue that a lot of these leaked. I'd ask them to replace all the bad hoses with normal USA fuel hose. They can grind off the factory crimp to reveal a nice barbed fitting. Then install and clamp on a new hose and you are good to go. And if you ever have a failure down the road, you do not need to order a special Mahindra hose.

No recall. But mine was fixed under warranty. They will probably have to order the new lines. My dealer did a temporary fix for for me as I was taking the tractor to our north farm for the week. Didn't even have to take it off the trailer. Had the part when I got back.

Same issue, replaced with proper, not pretend, fuel lines myself. Relative to the other issues I've had, that could have killed me or others, fuel lines was an easy fix that didn't cost too much time.
