Manuals- Service, owners, etc (If you need diagrams)

[bhstovall]

I sent Mahindra an email today about just this issue. Here's their response:
Dear Sir,

Thank you for contacting Mahindra USA.

The Company will deploy an on line parts catalog look up shortly for all customers. In the interim, a number of dealers are using the dealer version of the catalog look up. Please check one of the dealer sites below for the information required.

Lee's Outdoor - home
J5 Tractors - Normangee, Conroe and Navasota, TX - #1 Mahindra Dealer In North America - Offering New & Used Premium Outdoor Equipment and More!

Both deploy the same lookup system. As stated, the Company sponsored look-up will be available shortly.

Thank you,

Gene Medeiros
Director – Parts Operations
Mahindra USA Incorporated

This still does not address the poorly written service manuals. I think a full parts & service manual should accompany any tractor sold by any company, so we can maintain them better & do some of the repairs ourselves, so that our tractors can stay with us most of the time. It just makes good business sense to me!

One reason factory service manuals are so expensive
is the cost of paper, printing, shipping and storage.
Before they are even distributed, parts may be superseded.

If they had digital manuals accessible to everyone online,
they could be free and instantly revised and updated.

It's a fair bet that everything needed to make and service tractors is created in digital form. To get from that to PDF is a simple one step process no more complicated than hitting the print button. Making it searchable is a little more work but just a little more and nothing of any significance. This much I do know from personal experence. There really is no excuse for not having documentation on-line and/or distributed on CD ROM or thumb drive.
Not that far back when you bought a piece of consumer electronics gear like a stereo component, it came with the schematics. These days it's usually a single sheet of paper with the same useless information in six languages mostly comprised of several idiotic warnings and cautions meant only to keep the corporate lawyers happy.

I recently obtained electronic version of the 3510 and 4110 "New sheet metal" (circa 2004-ish) service manuals, owners manual, flat rate manual (good for pics).

I found during my last repair that diagrams and info aren't "easy" to find. Because of that, I am willing to share the occasional diagram or section, if somebody needs it.

Due to copyright, I cannot share "copies" of the manuals or post large sections at a time, but I'll help when I can.

That's it. Just looking to help out fellow Mahindra owners.

Morning,

My stepdad has a Mahindra HST 3016 tractor. He is needing a service/repair manual and needs to see a breakdown of the entire tractor. He works on everything himself. I know you cannot, as you said, give a direct copy but anything you think would be of any help to him, could you send my way? jamilla0126@gmail.com

Also, anyone else willing to throw bits and pieces my way, I would (as would he) appreciate it very much!

The Mahindra 2615 is the same as the Cub Cadet 7260. You can download the manual at this link: 722-427

This is the link for the main page that lists other models as well: Cub Cadet Professional Shop Manuals

I received an interactive CD when I got my new tractor. I also got one when I bought my old 4025 3 years ago. I would be asking your dealer why you were not given a manual and CD.

Isn't that CD just a digital version of the operator manual?
It's not a factory service manual is it?
