- 2012 Mahindra 8560
Good morning, I purchased a 2012 Mahindra 8560 with a front loader in May of 2019. The tractor had 852 hours on it and looked to be in great condition. My thought was to purchase a bigger than needed tractor to last longer than needed. In December 2019, while drivng down the driveway at 1600 rpm, it threw a rod out of the right side of the motor. As frustrating as this was, repairing it has become a nightmare. Mahindra does not sell a short block assembly for this model. That means I will have to piece the engine together item by item starting with the block ($3,000.00) and the crankshaft ($900,00 +). OR........ Mahindra will gladly sell me a complete engine for $15,700.00.
Then comes the labor bill. I have had the tractor at two separate mechanics whose enthusiasm quickly diminishes when they try to find used parts.
I am looking for any used, salvaged, parts, but also for any idea, advice or experience.
Or, do I have an 8,000 pound fishing weight?
Thank you and take care
