Mahindra vs. Kubota

[Wheatland KB]

Just read this thread. I am glad I waited until now 'cause I wouldn't have been able to get anything else done while following it as it unfolded.

Jasper, It sounds like things are going to work out as well as you could have hoped.

Things break, face it. For a company to sell a product then stand behind it just makes sense.

Good luck with the rest of your adventure and I hope you are getting some seat time on the Mahindra soon.

Checked back with my dealer last thursday, still no response from Mahindra. They are calling back, for the fourth time, to follow up.

New short block has arrived and is in the shop now. Hope to have it finished this week or next.
Heads, injectors, and top end looked good. Just the rod caps bad. Must have been a Monday or Friday assembly! Recovering from the weekend or looking forward to it and didn't torque them down.
Sure did need it this week, road into the house looked like a streambed after all the rain we had. Old Massey fixed it up though, sure glad I kept that old tractor.

The nightmare continues! The "complete" gasket set was not complete, the short block is different from the original. My dealer has had to order new hoses and gaskets since some components are located in different areas on this block, and not all the gaskets are included.
Makes me wonder if this is the new version of the engine.
Brautigam's are doing their best, and I appreciate all they have gone through trying to help me.
Would I buy another Mahindra?
NO COMMENT as yet!

This thread should have been closed long ago with the personal attacks and quarrels that are not allowed on TBN if they are seen by any of the moderators but obviously we do not have time to read all the threads. And of course this one should never have even been started since it's a duplicate of one in another forum.
