I would check the battery terminals to make sure you have a good connection.

Sounds like the implement height position of the top link is just slightly to tall. Can you lower it on the mower?

I never have purchased the extended warranties. On my automobiles, a few things have gone wrong but never enough cost to justify the up-front output, plus the problems have always been very minor. My vehicles are always been Ford, GM and Chrysler. Chrysler has an unlimited drive train warranty on their new vehicles for the original purchaser.

With regard to extended warranties on electronics and appliances, it is never worth it.

From my understanding most of the Mahindra are an older design from Mitsubusi. Cub Cadet marketed that design in the mid to late 90's and early 00's. I have one of those Cadets and have had no major problems. I felt it was a superior design at the time and still stand by that judgement.

I have had some local dealers of Mahindra's drop the line or complain about service parts and factory help.

The new Cub Cadet recently came out but being that it is a Yanmar design, it would appear to be trustworthy.

From my viewpoint, I would only consider major brands and tend to go with a local dealer that can give me service if needed. I have no experience with the other named brands but know that many of the people here have them. They may be able to enlighten you with their experiences.

Before jumping to any conclusions, the first thing I would do is remove the battery terminals and clean them and reinstall. Second, if the battery is the type that water can be added, I would do that and then put a slow charge on it if any cells were low on fluid. If that doesn't solve the problem, after it has been charged, I would take it to an auto parts store and have them check the battery. They will do it for free. They can tell you if you have a dead cell. Like was said, you may have low voltage resulting from a partially dead battery.

Sorry to hear about your accident, but glad to hear you will be OK! Like was said, just go forward since that is the hand your were dealt, and give yourself time to heal. Count your blessings that it wasn't any worse than it was.

There are many things to consider. How many miles do you drive annually? What do you want to do with the vehicle. In my case I need a 3/4 ton truck for hauling and now have a smaller car for normal commuting.

You may want to keep your current truck for hauling and get another used vehicle as a people hauler and for other stuff.

Another consideration is age. You only go thru life once, so enjoy!

We had some great weather over the weekend being in the high 70's and getting into the low 80's. We have a freeze warning for the next couple of mornings possibly getting in the low 30's/high 20's. The high today is supposed to be in the high 50's.

Sorry if I led you astray. I've had 1450's, 1650's, 782's, 1862 and an 1864 with them all with dipstick and filter in the same place. The 1450 & 1650 where yellow and white and built by international. The 782's are red and say International but were the first built by MTD back in 1980. The 1450 & 1650 were mid-70's. The 1862 & 1864 were early 90's, built and sold by cub-cadet with yellow and white paint. With there changing numbering scheme, I'm not sure of your model.

According to one of the guys in the office that has one, he says H3 Hummers are under powered with the 5 cylinder engine. They have horrible performance and mileage is also poor. He does better with his Silverado.

Maybe getting the Colorado is your best choice afterall.

Mine has a 417 loader on it (see my photos) and believe a 476 also fit it. I believe Woods built all of them for Cadet. You may be able to verify this through Woods or a Cadet dealer.

We also used a sleeve post driver in my younger years, that's how everyone did it. Also drove lots of wellpoints that way.

That's how I got a 54" chest and 18 1/2" neck. It is good arobic excercise and you will live longer and heathier.

Chevrolet used to sell a heavy Half ton which later was called a 1500HD. It had some of the same drive train as a 3/4 ton. Ford used to do kinda the same (but it was a light duty 3/4 ton), but don't know their current lineup.<br>
<br>
If it is a concern, can you get a 1/2 ton Dodge equipped with a snowplow package with the proper rear-end gearing, which has a heavier front end?<br>
<br>
Driving through all the mud, rocks, water and ruts does a number on drive components. In my opinion you are better off with a light weight truck with a big front end, large diameter but narrow tires that have good treads on the sides.

I have a 27HP tractor that weighs more than yours with turfs. I plow 6-8" deep in hard clay soil with a single bottom 14" plow. A loader on the front helps for traction with 4WD. It does spin a bit, but plow about 1/2 acre with it. It makes her snort in low range and definitely cleans out the carbon build-up from previous mild use. Have been fall plowing with it for about 10 years now.

More than likely, the electric clutch is just out of adjustment. The discs of the clutch are spring loaded and adjustment can be made with (3) shoulder/stripper bolts. You use a feeler gauge. I've forgotten the gage setting. Either ask your local dealer repairman or check with them on line. .017" seems to be the number, but am not for sure. If the gap is too tight, it won't shut off. Too wide it won't engage. When it is close to being to wide, it will work when cold and then will not restart when hot.

I may be out of touch but thought you could get a low end tombstone that's above ground for $2,500.00 or slightly.

My parents originally had a plot in one of those scam cemetaries where they took your money and left. Later we put them in a plot from our church. My mom wanted to be next to her parents and always said she liked the tombstone she bought for her folks. So, my parents have the same style stone and format as my grandparents. Hopefully, they will be happy forever and ever.

If you're looking for a deal, I've got an extra flush marker laying around with bronze coating. Can give you a real deal on it if you and your wife don't mind being called "Ed" and "Helen" for the rest of eternity. hehe!!

Many of the Mahindra models are really of an older Mitsuibushi design. This design was sold also to Cub-Cadet back in the mid and late 90's. I have one of those and love it. I bought it thinking it was a Cub and service would be good for years to come. Have not had any trouble so far. Mine is a 94 or 95 model with about 800 hours on it. It is a rock solid design and was technically better than the Deere models in that time period. Case didn't have a model at that time and later merged to CNH (Case/New Holland) where the major difference is color.

Many Mahindra dealers have come and gone in our area. I would agree that even if it is a good design, etc., the blue tractor will have better resale and parts availability in years to come.

If I purchase another tractor, it will be either Green or Red (Case) because of my local dealer base. The red guys also sell the new Cadet/Janmar but I will stick with green or red.

The blue tractors are or almost identical to the red (Case). Our Blue dealership in the area went under and a new one as come to town but haven't shopped there.

We used to have lots of salmon on the East Side of Michigan in Lake Huron. Zebra mussels invaided from Ocean freighters. The mussels screwed up the food chain and ruined another of Michigan's sources of revenue. The DNR planted too many Walleye and they ate up the smelt and perch. The Walleye spawn in the mid-Michigan rivers that are contaminated by many industries. Fishing has kinda gone the wayside here too.

Not sure, but think this is the source of your problem. Many times when a back hoe is attached, a diverter valve/manifold is placed in the hydraulics. When they originally hooked the BH, they may have diverted the hydraulics from the 3PH. With most BH installations you have a sub-frame that makes the 3PH solid. You don't want the 3PH to move so it may be disconnected.<br>
<br>
On another of my tractors, the diverter valve disconnects hydraulics from the loader. In this instance the loader is none functional when the BH is, etc.<br>
<br>
Is there any kind of extra valve handle or switch on this manifold? Do you have any loose hydraulic quick-disconnects? When you take off your BH and disconnect the hydraulics, you don't have some kind of jumper hose going to another quick-disconnect do you?
