I have a 2014 Mahindra HST Cab 4WD and I noticed the rear remote leaking fluid where the quick connect is attached to the control block (not sure if that is the right name). It is where the rear remote quick connects are connected to the block with the ports setting on top of the transmission...

Have been so busy, have not had time to post on progress. Our timeline is shrinking quickly, but things are picking now. We are spray foaming the house this week and will be doing drywall as well. While that is going on we started putting up fence yesterday and hope to finish by end of week...

Got the quote back today to spray foam, whoa, a bit shocking. Total $15k, $9k is to spray 5.5 inches in roof between rafters. $4k to spray 3.5 inches in all walls, which includes fire caulking of all drilled holes in top plate. Going to get a couple more estimates, but at this point I plan to...

We had a good week and a lot was accomplished. The crawl space, raised floor, garage floor was poured and we started studding in the exterior walls. Here a few pics to view. Hope to continue working to get the ext walls up and get started buttoning the house...

The barn is done, need to get fill dirt and start on stalls and fencing soon. House is now starting to move, installed dormers yesterday. Have to start prepping crawl space, frame up the gable roof patio cover (16 x 24) off the back of house. The same Amish crew will be back to build the...

End of day 2, pole barn is almost ready for metal, should get close to done tomorrow. House is getting started but most of the shell will probably go up next week. Here are a few pics Barn House start

Finally the rain has let up the past week or so. Got the hay cut and in the barn and lumber deliveries started coming Friday. Work starts tomorrow morning, it just started pouring as I am typing. It is not supposed to be much do not expect it to impact work starting. My plan is to post almost...

Life has finally put the wife and I in a place where all the planets have aligned and we can build on the 15 acre retirement property we bought a couple years ago. I am 64 and plan to retire in Feb 2017 (this is my second retirement, retired from the Army after 26 yrs in 1994). This thread...

Does anyone have the tractorbynet app running on a Windows 8 phone? I searched and the app can't be found.

I went to hook up my grapple today and could not get the hoses to connect. I worked for close to an hour and the only way I finally got it done was disconnect the hydraulic line from the pump on the grapple. After I did that the male end nozzle point would push in, but was froze solid until I...

Just curious if anyone has tried to remove the headliner or remove the cab top on a Mahindra 5010 HST cab? I am wanting to replace the factory radio and speakers with something better and also wanting to do a couple other things that might be easier if I could see what is inside the liner...

The past 8 years I have plowed snow on my open station Mahindra 2615, but after last winter I told the wife no more. It was so cold and the snowiest winter ever for this area. We bought a small farm and I needed a bigger tractor and the decision to go with a cab was an easy decision for me...

I just bought an older 7x12 dump trailer. It belonged to a construction company and is a heavy duty trailer. The battery is located near the front corner of the trailer and sits under the bed. To charge the battery I have to raise the bed a little so it is easy to hook up the charger. It...

A year ago I had a Amish crew put up a 40x80 pole barn for hay and equipment storage. And as I have heard many times a barn will never be BIG enough and that is the case. Good hay year so the barn has a lot of hay in it and now there is no room for the equipment so I can get it out of the...

J_J Could not find any letters on the valves. I took pics maybe that will help to know what I have. I am a visual learner. If you can guide me it would be appreciated. The solution I assume will still allow the rear remote to work normally when splitter is not connected. Thanks Bob...
