When we bought the tractor, we bought it from a mahindra dealer the former owner traded in the tractor.
at the dealer, when my husband was testing the tractor, it drove, we got it home then it stalled.
It's kind of sad, later we found out the tractor was full of water, in a flood. The former owner lived in Bakersfield California.
we figure at the time you it rained quite a bit so, that's why the tractor was DIRTY. & had issues.
We found dried caked mud, Also cobwebs & dust.
You know for sure it was flooded? You would be surprised how much dirt get into them just from using them, especially if they were used for any kind of farming or constant dirt work. One of mine had about an inch of dirt everywhere that was hidden and not easy to get to with a hose.
