It's just alot of work to strip it down for separation. From there you split the case, slide off bad clutch, swap the gear and slide it on. You have to take it down to bare power unit. Fenders, floor plate, all have to come off. Mine went very smooth mating the sections back up. If it's indeed...

JaJo....if yours is 3616...I will bet it is the pto clutch. The part is not as robust as it should be. Really sux that we have to split the tractor simply slide on a new clutch. Note, when you split your tractor, make sure to wedge the front axle from both sides. If you forget this, the magnetic...

This happened on my 3616 as well. My solution was to cut off the old one and use it for the installed working plug. The new one hangs on a nail in the tractor shed and is only used for checking level.

I bought my tractor new with a 72" MMM. I mowed with it perhaps 4 times before we bought our first Bad Boy. It has sat in machine row since 2015. I put it on once a season just to keep it turning. Does anyone have an idea of value if I was to sell it? I know it fits 3016, and 3616 for sure. May...

I looked into this tractor after my initial post. Noe I see that my post has no value.

This sounds awfully similar to how my Mahindra 3616 acted when/right before the one way pto clutch failed. The pto would stop under use at times, restart after a slight reverse. And the shaft would spun slowly but could be stopped by hand. I'm not sure of anything on your model. But now I'm...

Surplus Center has about the best selection and pricing on cylinders. You should be able to find d a suitable set and maybe even gain some power out of the repair.

Just start it up and cycle the ram. It will self bleed very fast.

Back in 2014 when I was looking for a loader tractor, I decided it had to fit all my needs since I was only going to buy one. I bought my Mahindra 3616 hst 4wd with loader and a 72 inch belly mower. Man was I happy when it got delivered. But over the first summer I realized some things. This...

I bought a middle buster for potato digging. Then made some removable modifications to allow me to run wire for underground dog fence. We recently ran dog fence wire around my friends entire 5 acre yard. Removed the plow blade leaving just the shank, built a bolt on wire spool holder, and used...

I had the same hose issues for years. One day my local farm store had a bin of hoses 24' and less for like $8. I bought a couple of them for speculation. Turns out the brand is called Flexogen. I have since bought 300' feet of this hose and we store it on a large rolling cart. Been about 12...

I am a big and tall shopper as well. I mowed for years with a Bad Boy zt elite with a kawasaki engine. Last year I bought a new Maverick HD. This new Maverick HD has a big block commercial Kawasaki and 4 wheel "suspension ". It is an awesome machine. The biggest difference is the new mower is...

Valve lash not correct. Getting too tight as temp oncreases. Just a guess...

Try removing the fuel line from the tank to the bowl to check for free flow of fuel. My 3616 acted very similar to what you describe, I removed the line and used compressed air to blow back into the tank. There are bugs and bug parts in my tank as well as what looks like flash from the plastic...
