Mahindra 485 DI

[hiddentacocatneddih]

Who knows anything about a mahindra 485 di?

I just bought one with a woods dual 195 loaded and bush hog.

Really like the reach of the loader and how the motor runs. Fires right up and hums along. Kinda crowded in the seat but you can really see over your shoulder nicely.

Questions.

How to check the hydraulic fluid level?
What are the 2 silver knobs between your legs?
What is the lever to the outside of the 3 point lift lever?
How do you adjust the clutch?
And what's this lever on the right side of the trans at the bottom with 3 positions labeled low to high?

This is my first tractor. Just moved into the country last year.

Previous owner didn't know a ton about it. He just used it to bush hog a little bit

If I can figure out how to post pictures I will. Probably have to get on a computer

Pretty sure I figured out the hydro tank Location under the hood.

I saw manuals for sale but they were high over $100 for all 3

That is your power steering fluid under the hood....

the hydraulic is a square bolt head behind the seat, and top right side of the lift housing... it will have a dipstick.

This model has a separate hydraulic/transmission/powersteering so you have universal hyd fluid in the lift housing, 80-90w in the transmission.. The check is at the base of the shift levers a 15/16 size bolt I think. and then ATF or power steering fluid under the hood for the power steering.. its a small tear drop shaped canister

Its very possible with these that no one has ever changed the hyd filter which is the metal pipe that runs into the lift housing... you almost touch it with your right foot while sitting in the seat... its got a rubber boot with hose clamps that hold it onto the filter pipe..

Shredxcam can you help me and explain or take pictures for me on where your front end loader hydraulic lines are plumbed into the tractor? Thanks.
