If you have any Autozone stores where you live, they had a strut section, similar to a wiper blade display. Just match one up and go.

Agreed. I was fearing a lot worse until I could isolate the source, and even more relieved I didn't toast the motor.

Here's where the oil trail starts...

yeah, it's going to be a winter project to see if I can refresh it.

So, after the hydro pump debacle, as shared elsewhere here, I am finally ready to get to hogging the fields around the house. Brush hog gearbox is bone dry. Why? Shaft seal under the stump jumper is kaput. A couple days spent finding and installing the seal. I start hogging the hill behind the...

I would reach out to WR Long. I'm sure they would have an idea what's going on with it. Before you do that, have you checked all your switch wiring to ensure nothing is chafed/shorting? I also could be the switch itself.

I've had a few of those. In each case, I pulled the pin and removed the rock-hard grease from the passages in the pin. The zerk usually works fine, it's the dried grease that blocks things.

The Ft seal on the pump was soaking wet, as suspected. I also suspect there was leakage between the two pumps, as the power steering improved quite a bit, and lost a lot of the funky noises it used to make while turning the wheel. The old pump looks rebuildable, or at least disassemble-able...

Still looking for a top- Anyone know of good salvage yards for Mahindras?

Pump went in yesterday, it's a different tractor now. all better. The Ebay unit is identical to the OEM, no issues whatsoever swapping it out. The pump has a rubber spider that meshes with the drive gear, so 3 hoses, 4 bolts and it's out. One more thing- There is a grease nipple on the ft...

A new hydraulic pump seems to have solved the issue. No more weird noises from the steering and the hydraulics have found new strength. It's a tandem pump, one side for power steering and the other for general hydraulics. Beside the front seal leaking like a sieve, I think one side of the pump...

Plugged the part number into the Google, and found a replacement pump for about half what Mahindra wants on fleabay. It's coming from India, so I know it's authentic! Will pop it in and see how it does. Looks to be an identical match, so far...

Hmm, not sure how this got here, I was replying in the thread that's discussing these gizmos. $125 for a pair of ISO connectors with a t handle screw seems a bit pricey to me...

Found it, well hidden out the bottom. There are two clear plastic hoses for AC drains, it was cleverly braided in between. Don't forget to tie off a stout string to the old one when you pull it out- You'll need a bit of fiddling to get the new one past those hoses.

Had a run-in with sapling on my 2665. Mashed the ft left signal. Got a new one. Rather than a simple plug at the back of the lamp assy, I get a 3 foot longish cord with bullet connectors. looks like it comes across that front frame piece that separates the upper and lower front glass. It's...
