4110 Mahindra popping noise in front end

[Sergei]

Cheap gears is right! I can't get any info out of Mahindra. No updated parts, the same old junk, just keep replacing parts at 1,200 a pop. I don't think that gear oil will help junk metal!

How are the gears breaking also have you ever taken a picture and posted the picture, I'd be interested in seeing one.

I will have one to take a picture of in a couple of weeks. When I get the new parts in.

I found a better deal on the parts to fix the front diff. with, get TYM parts, they are cheaper! What everyone else wanted $1,200 for I got for $940. Sweeeet!

I gotta tell ya. It's not sweeeet; just better. Sweeeet is no repairs needed!!

I wonder if these repairs are related to the mismatched tires on front and back? I guess it's a problem with the early Mahindra 4110.

My 4110 Mahindra has developed a popping noise in the front end when in 4WD. quits when I take it out of 4WD. From reading other posts I may have a problem from carrying heavy loads on FEL (round hay bales), Any ideas on what may be wrong and estimated repair costs? Bill Beyer, Memphis Tn.

OK ... I bypassed this when I 1st followed this thread, assuming there was damage. But ... Have you verified that there is damage?? Does the popping happen when going straight or just turning? Does it happen forward and backward? How fast is the pop? Does the pop get faster as you go faster. My 7520 has always had a grumble/grind when turning sharply on good ground in 4wd. It only is apparent when going slow. It is load on the gears due to the fronts being pushed. [Whatever front lead is designed in disappears as a turn sharpens until finally the fronts are pushed.] Mahindra is not concerned with my noise because its normal. Is your tractor new and maybe you just noticed it? ... Or is it old enuf that the fronts might be worn down to a smaller diameter stressing the front/rear load sharing and finally a quiet sound became louder. Maybe it is a warning but not yet damaged.

Noise was the FWD drive shaft coupling broken or stripped. Will try and post a picture of it later. I only tried it in FWD going straight, and it would pop very loud about every 2 seconds. Did not try it in reverse or turning. It would increase if I went faster. No noise at all in 2WD. Let you know when it is back together and hauling hay.

My recent experience is that if you don't have the rear tires loaded, load them NOW, before you use your FEL anymore. I think now that my front diff. problems are from mismatched rear tires 17.5 (was on) and everyone is saying that it should be 16.9, but I have bought a set of loaded Ag tires and WOW what a difference. People were telling me to load the rear tires and I wasn't a believer, but now I am! I still don't think that the R4 (industrial tires) were right for me, but I see the value in loading the tires now.

The guy I bought it from said the rear tires were loaded. I will have them checked to make sure. The rear is extremely light with a 5X5 roll of hay on FEL. It does handle better when roll is on 3 point spear also. Will be back in field tomorrow. :thumbsup:
