Mahindra 6000.....

Spoke too soon! 7010 cab is down again. A plastic clip on the top of the loader control broke day before yesterday. Called the dealer and found out the whole control is all that's available, $350! $350 and all I need is a cable. That hurts! Who designs these things? Bet they have a fat wallet!

Ouch! Jeremy, where are you? KMW loader down! At least it isn't another issue with the 7110. Where is Jeremy when you need him?

You know, that's really dumb that a plastic clip requires a whole new setup...can you somehow make it??/ in the same vein, the only thing that went wrong with my 6000 was an O-ring at the top of the power steering resevoir that started to leak...Mahindra sent a whole new resevoir...(as I stateed at the start its been over 250 hrs since this...I have 335 hrs on the tractor)...Good luck with the "clip".

Just over 1000 hours on my 2004 6500. Nothing major to report. One item replaced under warranty. Lots of loader work but mostly used for haying.

How about some pictures of the unit and the broken clip, maybe someone can come up with thoughts on a replacement.

Was able to pick up a used cable for $100. Turns out TYM sells just the cables for a shade over $125. Now I'm looking for the balls that fit in the 3 pt arms and a rearveiw mirror from TYM. Looks like parts are going to be cheaper for those rebranded TYMs from TYM.

My 2004 3510 has had its share of "annoyances." Nothing really major except for the FEL valve, and that was mechanical, which I just fixed this week.

Still have to look at the tach. The rest have been a minor thing here and there. A switch or electrical connection, but mechanically very solid.

A search on this site has solve quite a bit of them. Like the time the PTO solenoid wouldn't engage. Read about the location and how it sticks sometimes. Tapped it with the handle of a hammer once and it worked. The next season I pulled the cap off the end of the plunger, pushed it with a screwdriver and then added a capfull of hydro to lube it. No problems since

These are tractors and are subjected to some harsh environmental and operating stresses. I do wish it was easier to find part and mfgr specifications, though. I spent a lot of time sourcing a repair part for the FEL valve and finally ended up tearing down, measuring, and ordering a similar part I could tweak to fit. Better than new now!

Hope you find your clip. How about a pic of the part?

Right at 300 hrs on mind, had it 3 years now and just put a ML-265 FEL on it about 5 weeks ago, only problem i had was stabbing a root up into the hydraulic filter, seen it after it happen, backed up and shut it down, went ahead and changed the oil and filter and cleaned the suction strainer and magnetic plug. Other than that its been a good working tractor.
Oh had it stuck 3 times so far, I think it had something to do with the loose nut behind the wheel.

That's exactly what the stuck problem is. All three of mine have been stuck at some point in time because of the same exact reason.
