MAHINDRA FILTERS

[Travis_R]

Hey ya'll,

Been about 4 months since i've been on here. Been runnin' my tractor!!

I need some filter cross over numbers for a 1997 Mahindra 485DI. I need the air filter and fuel filters. I have 2 fuel filters. The oil filter takes a CarQuest 85775.

I Love my Mahindra. Would not think twice about buying another one. This tractor had 879hrs. on it when I purchased it on February 16, 2005. It is now June 20, 2005 and I have 1000 hrs.!!!!!! I will probably change the engine oil every 150 hours. Sound about right?

Anyway, NO problems with my tractor. I also just bought some new implements for it. They are:

1. LMC Heavy Duty Boom Pole......$150.00

2. LMC used 6' finish mower (needs belts and blades)..........................................$150.00

3. Bush Hog 6' SBX 720 Box Blade.$595.00

What do you think? Pretty good prices?

Please let me know about the filters.

Thanks,
Travis

Sounds like a good deal on actachments and like a good working tractor. 150hrs sound about right in optimum conditions. If you run in hot weather or dusty conditions I would change at 100hrs.

For filters Wix has a lookup at http://www.wixfilters.com/. A good place to order is http://www.filter1.com/. Another option is to buy from one of the dealer that contribute to the board.
