    Max 28 won't start

    Don't know where it comes in from, but it dripped for 10 minutes after I opened up the harness.

    Max 28 won't start

    One of those wires goes to the glow plug. Bet that's why the wire melted.

    Max 28 won't start

    Most of the time. Several others have had the same problem. It only takes one good rain to get water in there as there's no way for it to drain.

    Max 28 won't start

    Found the problem. The wiring harness on the right side under the dash collects water and of course the main hot wire splits into three wires right at the bottom where it bends and enters the engine compartment. It's just a crimp connection and the water in the harness causes it to corrode and...

    Max 28 won't start

    Max 28 shuttle won't start. New battery early summer, new ground cable and all terminals clean. I was able to start it by jumping the solenoid terminals with a remote starter switch last month, but now it'll turn over but won't fire. There's no power coming to the two smaller wires, black and...

    Max 28 won't start. Black relay box buzzes (sometimes) when ignition is turned.

    New battery along with a new ground cable with all freshly cleaned terminals and ground bolt several months ago as clearly stated in my post. And there's plenty of juice at the starter, as clearly stated, since it starts immediately when jumped with the remote starter.

    Max 28 won't start. Black relay box buzzes (sometimes) when ignition is turned.

    My Max 28 won't start with the key. There's a black relay on the left side, looking from the front, of the firewall that will "buzz" when turning the key sometimes. I can start the tractor by jumping it at the starter and have been starting it with a remote starter switch that's jumped from the...

    Max 28 mid PTO seal blowout.

    My Max 28 had a seal blowout on the mid forward facing PTO. My sons were plowing snow in Ohio, I'm the smart one and headed to Florida for a few months, and the PTO seal blew. I'm not up there to fix it, and the boys have not worked on hydraulics. How hard is it to replace the seal or bypass...

    Hydraulic fluid

    I'm having a tough time trying to find what type of hydraulic oil to run in my Max 28. The closest Mahindra dealer is over 60 miles away and I can't get a straight answer to which fluid would be compatible. Has anyone used Harvest King Premium Universal Tractor Trans-Hydraulic Fluid in their...

    Max 28 starts but won't stay running

    Bought one of the last Max 28's 2 years ago and had no problems with it until now. The other day while lifting a piece of pipe with the bucket it just shut down. I was at a slight down slope and figured my weight slid forward on the seat and disengaged the seat safety switch. I readjusted my...
