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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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. 👍
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!
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.
@@Hfoutdoorsyt 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.
@@Hfoutdoorsyt 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!
@@Hfoutdoorsyt 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.
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. :-)
I knew this was where I needed to be when I saw the Ric Flair shirt 🤘🏼 just bought my first Mahindra tractor
I just bought a 4550. These videos are awesome ! Thanks for all the great info .
You bet. Thanks for watching 👍
Awesome! The hydraulic strainer cleaning segment was exactly what I needed to see. Kinda thought it'd be messy. Thanks so much!
I'm seem to stay 5 or so hours behind you, these videos have been a huge help. Thank you!
You bet👍
I really appreciate all your videos, they are super helpful for a first time tractor owner like myself. Thank You!!!!
Good Job, to share your learning experience to give somebody a helping hand. The world needs more people like you.
Thank you for that kind comment. I appreciate that.
Great video! I used the video on greasing my 4540 this morning, step by step.
Glad you could use it👍

Thanks for watching 👍 we appreciate it
Great informative video Hank! Simple maintenance keeps things simple for yourself and your tractor lol.
Thanks CJ!
These videos about serving the Mahindra 4500 series are awesome. Thank you for doing them!
Awesome video buddy, I wish you would have bought a Kubota so I could have learned from you how to do these things, now I have to figure it out LOL.
Lol. You're doing pretty good with that orange tractor! 👍

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it 👍
Great work Hank! Lots of good information in this one, thanks for taking us along! Take care buddy!
Thanks👍
Lots of good info. I don’t have a Mahindra, but them old Massey’s need some TCL too. That looks like a great tractor. Later.
👍

Thanks Dan!
Thank you so much-- This maybe in your videos and I have not got to it. Where do you check the hydraulic fluid level on the 4540?
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.
Oh yes, great maintenance video. Full watch and definitely good info.
Thank you!
Please where do you check and then add hydraulic oil on a Mahindra 4025? It does not show in the aftermarket manual we bought.
Where did you add the fluid?
Good job! TCB ⚡️
Thanks brother 👍
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 found it much easier to just take the line between filter and strainer off. Just a couple of 12 mm bolts
Wh😊ere do you add the hydraulic fluid
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.
Just add it to the filler hole beside the gear shifter on the floorboard 👍
@@Hfoutdoorsyt 10 4. Was tricky to get the 5 gallons in there but used a transfer pump. Thanks again!
How do you check and refill hydraulic fluid on a 4530 mahindra? I don’t see any place to check it for the life of me.
I love the Rick Flair t-shirt.
Wooo!!! 😁
Great how to.. good work 👍
Thanks brother 👍

That's a good point.
You don't show how to fill up the hydraulic fluid, one of my fitting was leak and I change the o ring, but I can't find the reservoir...
Where do you supposed to put the hydraulic oil on the transmission plug
In the floorboard by the shifter
great vid
Thank you very much. Hope it helped 👍
Overall wht tractor brand do you recommend me buying? I need a 30-35 HP
How do you check the hydrolic fluid .

I hear ya!
Hey brother I was hoping to see the cleaning process! How did you clean the filter? Thanks man. I got a 2wd 4540
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.

I was wondering what too.
How much oil do you lose when cleaning the hyd screen? What kind of hyd oil did you use to replace it? Thanks,
I lost about 3.5 -4 gallons and I used the Mahindra brand oil to replace it. I show the oil container around the 9 minute mark in the video 👍

Easy enough, good explanation :¥
Farm life is cool
Yes it is!👍
So what did you use to clean the filter with? Gas?
I used Diesel fuel. Thanks for watching 👍
Where Do You Add The Hydrolic Oil At?
By the gear shifter
Hm, I wonder about grandpas comment. What will their opinions be about gloves? :D
Lol. I wonder
Where do you add the hydraulic fluid at?
Thanks
Beside the gear shifter on the floor board
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. :-)
What's the right hydrolic fluid to use?
Travelers will work
Once you got the strainer out, how did you actually clean it?
Put it in a 5 gallon bucket of diesel fuel and slosh it around👍
Great video Hank, just curious, could you have screened the hydraulic fluid that came out and reused it? or is it reccomended just to add new?
Yes some people reuse the hydraulic fluid during the process, but I used a pretty nasty bucket to catch it in, so I just used new oil. Good question.
Where did you buy your hydraulic fluid from ? I'm trying to find it .
The dealer
Thank you
Where do you fill and check the hydraulic fluid at?
at the gear shifter lever.
Hamiltonville Farm where it says transmission fluid? I saw your other videos but I was lost about the transmission fluid and hydraulic fluid stuff.
@@wizain32 yes sir. That's it.
Show how to put the hydraulic fluid back in
Thanks for watching!
same place where the dipstick is to check the level.
Good video. 2 questions.
1. Are you still enjoying the M 4540?
2. Would a Ford F 250 with 6.2 gas engine pull that Tractor?
Thanks. Mark.
1. Yes
2. I would assume so, it's a F250!
I'm really having a great time on it. Getting a lot of work done with it.
we have a f250 with the 5.4 and it does all right
Thanks for the video since the manual doesn’t show jack crap!!!
Thanks for watching
I’m new to Mahindra and love this tractor and your videos are more informative than the damn manual
Where the hell do you add back hydraulic fluid at?
Where the hell does the hydraulic fluid go? The 3-4 gallons that you are replenishing?
Mahindra & Mahindra
Yes sir!
@@Hfoutdoorsyt Nice tractor. Hope u check me out too. Lets connect.
Good video except you didnt show where to add the fluid back into the tractor.
Hydraulic oil goes beside the shifter on the floor board.
@@Hfoutdoorsyt Thanks sir!
Yeah kinda weird it says transmission oil on the sticker in the dip stick. But it's hydraulic fluid👍
Show yourself adding the fluid next time
Never say where to add fluid
