Hydraulic oil leak at 6 hours........

[Bluecheck546]

My 2015 at 6 hours on the clock developed an oil leak at the right side where 3ph actuator tube is attached to the main valve body (hydraulic manifold?) Tried retighten the banjo bolt, the dealer replaced 2 washers, those washers are metal but have some kind of rubber seal attached to them. The whole setup is not working, so far I'm very disappointed that new tractor would leak anything /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif. I even went as far as to turn new copper washers..... and still leaking. Did anybody beside me is having problem with oil leaks on brand new tractors. My old JD850 drip just about the same amount, but it had 1991 hours when I traded in for this one. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Sure did... I had a coupler leaking on the FEL. Dealer received a new one and life is good. I also have a minor leak on the PTO but the dealer will fix on the first service call. It's a bummer but quick service and or attention from the dealer has kept me confident on my choice to buy a Mahindra. I definately understand where your coming from.

It's too bad to have a problem on a new tractor, but it seems like a small one thankfully. It's the first one I've read about on TBN, so I don't think it's a Mahindra problem but, if the dealer doesn't get it fixed ASAP, it could indicate a dealer problem. Keep on them until it's resolved & let us know how you make out.

Think about it, whether you bought a new car or a name brand product which could range from a toaster to a new home from a contractor, none of us expect or deserve a problem for the price we paid. Reality, undeserved luck, or the law of averages will eventually fall in our laps. If the dealer can't resolve the leak in an appropriate and reasonable amount of time, explain to the dealer that you want resolution to that matter. If he's worth anything, he'll contact Mahindra Tech and get the problem resolved. Mahindra will either replace the manifold or the tractor. I think there are enough posts in this Mahindra forum to confirm that. Best of luck to you and keep us informed as to the final resolution.

Well folks, the dealer pick the tractor it up keep for 3 days replaced tube that is feeding the oil in to the main lift. It was cracked right under the banjo bolt. Not a drop so far.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
