Traded in My 2014 3016 Shuttle Shift w/loader for a New 2638 HST Cab on Spet 13th 2019.
So far i love it! couple minor things i need to adjust for my larger and taller profile. but over all its good!
I kept all my attachments & implements ill update my info asap.
Haven't gotten to enjoy it much, been sick the last 3 days or so...:thumbdown: but getting better slowly.

on another note, i will be happy to share my 3016 service manual. everything is on PDF Format. Covers 3016-3616 has service manual,loader manual,operators manual shuttle & HST versions.
also i can share my 2638 service manual if anyone wants it as well (PDF), i think i applies to the 2538 as well. just pm me and i can probably email them.

Is the 2638 a TYM with a Mahindra engine?

sspenst · Oct 31, 2019

Yes it is the same as a TYM394 for the most part. even my fuel cap says TYM... lol

the seat is Mahindra's new M Comfort. very nice so far. dash is mahindra's it's not digital like the TYM.
I'm happy overall so far, just some comfort things i modified. currently working on installing my true third function on the loader, just waiting on my sheet metal guy to bend some steel for mounting plates for my valve.... will post more on that when i'm done.
the 2638 hst cab comes with kenwood bluetooth radio installed. a quick note on that... they don't install the mic that comes with the radio...... so the bluetooth feature won't work with your paired phone unless it is plugged into THE BACK OF THE UNIT......quick and simple version is the remove the 5 bolts on the roof section then you get simple access to the radio as it is bolted in! the key removal will not work in this setup! then you can run the mic wire wherever you like as its like 8 feet long... lol

I have a 2555 and when i got it some of the things i did was take every electrical connection i could find and put dielectric grease in them and resecured with a zip tie around the connector. i also put witness marks on as many bolts i could find so i could see at a glance if they loosen up such as loader bolts, transmission bolts, lug nuts, etc.

What did you use for the 3rd function? Got any pictures? I am thinking of adding one in spring.

sspenst · Nov 16, 2019

I have pictures but there blurry as i just uploaded to my pc.....so ill take new ones. Most of the 3rd function i got at princess auto. Tandem center d03 solenoid valve.the d03 sub plate that princess auto sells is useless IMO, one port on each side, which makes hookup very difficult. I ended up getting a subplate from my local hydraulic shop that just happend to be on their return shelf....it has bottom ports, tight to hookup fittings but do able.best option is the subplate that WR LONG sells if you can get it, i inquired and almost $200 by the time i got it.... Flat face couplers for the front, pioneer style at the valve(cheaper) and hoses and most fittings. The power beyond on the loader valve is a bsp type o ring fitting which i had to find the right adaptor. I went bsp to jic to make hose fittings connect as its more common here with jic...or rather they stock jic stuff. The other end of the pb hose went to the back of the tractor where the rear remotes are located and luckily my local hose shop had a bsp crimp on fitting..... lol. The loader handle i replaced with a 4 button control grip from scorpion controls in kamloops bc(super awesome to deal with) think they are the same as suregrip controls i think. U need 2 amp diodes for the control grip for protection. I used fuses and relays to run the solenoid valve.(u could probably use just fuses as the coils are 1.75 amp....) i mounted a fuse/relay box under the left side step as there was room. I will try to go up to the shop later today and take better pics... maybe i can borrow the fiances good camera.. lol
Like they say picture is worth a thousand words!

Sounds like a process! Thanks for filling me in though as the more I know before the easier it will be when I go about it!

OK, here is some good pictures. I hope it helps everyone. took me awhile to get everything sorted but in the end it wasn't all that bad. I mean the right hand inside panels had to come off with the washer tank too to get the control grip wires routed properly but i'm happy!
