I watch your videos and find them useful and informative... It may have been more helpful had you shown the radiator fluid reservoir container - for those who may not know what it should read (if this tractor has one)... Also, it would have been more helpful if you showed how the hydraulic fluid filter was cleaned after it was removed.
If you unbolt the two bolts on the hydraulic filter bracket. The pipe will move out of the way of the transmission strainer pipe. Making it much easier to remove transmission strainer.
What tipe of Mahindra tractor do I need to bail round hay 5*5 need a cab tractor is to hot shouth Texas. I only have 50 acc. Thank u can u do a video to see.
I used Diesel fuel and a paint brush to clean it. Placed it in a bucket, submerged the strainer in the fuel and used the brush to wipe out the debris. Hope that answers your question.
@@HamiltonvilleFarm thanks. This is the first diesel I have owned in my 62 years. Gonna be a learning curve. Never used diesel fuel as a cleaner either because I never had any! Work pretty good?
Yes it worked great. Came real clean. 👍 I suppose one of those scrub brushes may work too. That strainer is kind of like a hard screen wire so it's pretty durable.
On the 4540 there is a bolt on the floorboard by your right foot. That is the dipstick. It is right beside the gear shifter and sometimes has a yellow sticker that has "transmission oil" written on it. That's the dipstick for the hydraulic fluid levels. 👍
Good information Mr Hank, I would have thought that machine would've had a screw on hydraulic filter, my L2500DT has a screen that has to be cleaned periodically. Maintenance is the key for sure!! Good share sir!! Dan
@@HamiltonvilleFarm wow that much? How much does Mahindra charge for their oil and what do they call it? My dealer said to use 303 oil which isn't recommended for anything built after 1974!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm geez I guess I should watch the whole video before asking stupid questions! I just did. Thanks. How much did you have to pay for Mahindra oil?
I honestly don't remember. but I definitely wouldn't use 303. LOL. I would think the Mahidnra oil is $18-$25 per gallon unless you buy it in a 5 gallon container. I am using all Mahindra branded oils and lubricants and parts until the warranty expires, then I'll research other brands. But that's just me. Several other people love other brands for their tractors. Sorry I couldn't remember the price.
We're still playing catch-up on the lack of maintenance our tractor received before we bought it. Just did the oil and filter change on my truck yesterday (170,000 miles). Also did the fuel filter, I don't know how our vehicles run on the filthy diesel they sell us!
One thing you should cover on the Antifreeze Coolant is what type your tractor uses . Since most of the new Case/ New Holland tractors use a Organic Acid Type (OAT) I learned it the hard way and just assumed it was the same as the last 40 years of tractors i had
Thank you for the video. I just changed the strainer on my 2538. Same strainer, different location and of course there was a brace in the way. Anyways, there was a metric shit-ton of metal shards and old RTV in there. Glad I found this helpful tutorial and thankful to get that stuff cleaned out.
Can't get enough of your videos. Is there anywhere you show refilling the hydraulic fluid? I didn't realize how much was going to come out after pumping that screen out to clean it.
Thank you! I was wondering the same thing. I didn't know that the hydro fluid and the transmission oil were the same thing. Two videos and he never cleared that up. :-)
