Mahindra 2015 - hard to start

[scatterbrainedmom]

Can anyone help me with a hard-to-start Mahindra 2015?? On a cold start, (sitting overnight or for a few days), my tractor will take a while to start. It'll turn over, but takes a while for it to finally fire. I have installed a new fuel filter and I'm in the process of changing the oil filter out. The battery is about a year old. The tractor is about 5 years old.

Any help would be appreciated....

A dead glow plug or two no doubt?

Or might need an updated glow plug harness to glow longer then 3 seconds. How long does your glow plug light stay on?

More than likely you have a bad glow plug, there are 2 different glow plugs on the 2015.
10 second glow plugs and 2 second glow plugs, i keep booth in stock and yes there is an update kit for the 2 sec to 10 sec , it includes glow plugs, timer and wire harness jumper. If you need help diagnosing the problem feel free to give me a call toll free 1-866-393-0642 and can guide you through testing.

I had to replace two glow plugs on my 2015 a couple of years ago...it was doing exactly what you're describing.

One suggestion would be to get an electric block heater (if your shop/garage/etc. has electric). That has made a huge difference in how easy my tractor starts during the coldest parts of the year.
