While running the flail mower the other night I broke the pin on which the lower arms of the 3pt pivot. I think I cornered too tight with the flail on the ground. Couldn't get a replacement from TYM for a couple weeks. I heard that TYM makes some Mahindra models and found a pin from a Mahindra...

I took the pin on loader of my TYM T254 and converted it to SSQA with a Worksaver brand mod. Best thing I did for my tractor. I have a regular bucket, (had the SSQA plate welded on the back of the original), a set of forks and a skeleton bucket. The versatility of the the quick attach is worth...

I have the T254 which I believe is the TYM version of your tractor. Mine is a 2014 model and has the MM60 mower. I believe they also had a 54" for the T254 also. Oldnslo is correct that you will need the mounting kit which is fairly easy to install. I also have the Bercomac 56" snowblower that...

I run a 64" flail (similar to Ironcraft FL165) on the back of my T254 (about a hp less than the T25 and lighter in weight). The area I use it for is relatively flat so I can speak to handling on hills. I can say that the tractor handles it okay, (loader must be on the front) just not as fast as...

When I first bought my sub-compact I couldn't really justify the purchase. That said, I have found all sorts of projects for it. Couple nights ago I tilled part of an area to increase the size of the church parking lot, then scooped up the spoils. Today I spread out two truck loads of gravel in...

Got a TYM T254 with >500 hours from an auction online. Not one of my brightest moments. Ending up replacing tires and rear seals initially. Dealing with some electrical issues now. But when it is running it is great. I have appreciated the people on this site that has helped me with the repairs...

It's been working fine now that it is warm. (It seems less than 20°F is when the problem occurs.) The timer on the glow plugs now takes 13 seconds when it used to be 9-10. Not sure why. It is a 2014 model so I don't think there are any fancy sensors that causes it to alter the time due to...

T254, bought used (and abused) 4 years ago, 2014 model. Currently 650 hours. Have replaced rear seals, battery, changing oil regularly, did the 500 hour service a couple years ago. Need to chase some electrical gremlins. (i.e. glow plug timer is up to 13 seconds from 9 even with warmer temps we...

Ignition checked out fine. Temps warmed up a bit and it started like it should. When I'm able to get it in the garage I'll just disconnect clean and reconnect the electrical connections, check grounds, etc. Had my glow plug timer failing to turn off yesterday, even after I turned off the...

I guess Saturday and Sunday were flukes. Another question. There is a "safety unit" part #11106642001 mounted just in front of the radiator. Of course can't find anything that would tell me what that part does. Will be warmer on Friday and Saturday so I'll clean up all the electrical connections...

On Saturday I got underneath and squirted some WD40 on the brake "safety" switch. I cleaned what I could access on the plunger and the switch itself and worked the pedal vigorously. I also put a small squirt into the ignition switch as well. Sunday morning it was 12°F and the tractor started...

I have a T254 about 11 years old, 516 hours. I have this intermittent no start problem in cold temperatures below 10°F. Turn the key to preheat and the relay will click, light on the dash comes on, 10 seconds later you can hear the relay click again, light goes off. Turn the key to start and...

I also have problems getting things lined up with my Berco snowblower for my tractor. The machining of the holes are a very close tolerance so getting them lined up precisely to punch them through is fun(?). A bright light and a magnifying glass helped me see better. Was still a lesson in...

I use my "husky" timer. I run an extension cord into the garage and plug it in when I go walk the dog in the morning. 45 minutes later we get back, I go start the tractor. Haven't had any issues for two seasons. I live in Michigan's Copper Country and as long as Lake Superior is still open we...

I have the same issue with an older T254 and mm60 mower. There's a nut on the j-hooks that I tightened and got it close. But is looking like I may need to engineer a solution as the new parts I bought didn't change anything.
