Mahindra Max-24
This seems a silly question, but I am missing 2 bolts that hold down what appears to be a spring-tensioned-band, located underneath the seat pan cover plate, and behind and above the rear PTO assembly. The band when unbolted sits at a 45-degree angle and requires a bit of pressure to return it to the boss that it should be bolted to. The current bolts in the photos have been temporarily placed there for visualizing this issue. The left edge of the band cannot be seen or photo'd well, but appears to be a 90-degree bend onto a shaft of some sort. It seems to do more than just a plate that covers something.
I have made numerous calls (VM) and text messages to the dealership where I purchased my Mahindra, to their listed phone, the service center, the parts center, and sales, and to actual accounts of the people who are in charge of those departments. No return communication, and have given up after a few days.
If it is not an essential part, I'll just bolt it down and be done with it. If it is something else, I love to find out what it is, its purpose, and if I should be concerned about it. The last thing I want to do is pay a service fee if it's unnecessary.
