DarthUpdate on my 5155 (50 hour service).
So, apparently, the only thing that was done was change the engine oil, oil filter, changed the hydraulic oil filter (did not change the hydraulic oil), check torque on bolts, and grease fittings.
They did not use Mahindra oil, they used Rotella.
I picked up my tractor on Friday, and ran it on Sunday for 4 hours.
Everything seems fine, but the grapple seems to be a wee bit "slower" than before. I'm noticing that curling the grapple "up" (pulling the joystick towards the center of the tractor, the joystick gets stuck, and does not release to the center like it used to. Could be an adjustment I need to look at.
I checked the oil before running, it's filled perfectly, and is crystal clear. I also checked the hydraulic oil, it's full as well, and clear.
I've used Rotella for years, never any issues... but I have not used it in a tractor, since this is my first one.
Another thing I noticed, that I have not noticed before, standing in the rear of the tractor, with it in neutral, I hear a clattering, or "rattle" down low. If you pull the rpms back to idle, the rattle goes away. I could not find anything loose, and the PTO is in neutral. I've just not noticed this rattle sound before.
I reread your post. When you checked hydro fluid, did you screw the dipstick in or rest it on the collar? That sound you hear lm now wondering if it’s your pump gurgling which is a sign of low fluid. How’s the tractor power?
