Hi there.
Just signed up to this user group.
Bought a used Mitsubishi MT180HM (what does the M mean? I see MT180H all the time).
It has 888 hours on it....i put one of those on it so far.
It is my first deisel machine.
60" mower deck and proper three point hitch. We will use it mostly for cutting the grass. But I already fabricated a drag for the 3PH to till/smooth/tear up our MX track.
Was leaking a bit of oil but found a loose fastner.
CHARGE light is always on but seems to charge the battery AOK. Previous owner said it has been on for years....since he bought it.
HEAT light comes on after 15 minutes of cutting grass, but then goes off when disengaging PTO and idling down. The belt was kind of loose, I tightened that see if it helps. Might have to take out thermostate and see if that is the issue. Did spray air and water through the radiator--> didnt help.
So, a bit of spark and smoke from the starter selenoid when I cranked it so investigated. Rusty and loose wires. Sure enough, the post snapped off. That is how I found this site, looking for where to buy a starter seloid for this machine.
Want to say Hi as will have more questions.
I am a member on a similiar site for dirtbikes and RC planes, so thinking there will be a lot of help here (hope).
