Covers engine oil drain and filter replacement (with socket size and washer tips), fuel filter, rear hydraulic fluid and filters, and front axle fluid, including a practical discussion of why the owner uses hydraulic fluid rather than gear oil in the front end. Best for 1626 owners approaching a major service interval.
An owner-operator sharing first-hand maintenance experience from their own small homestead, with no apparent commercial or dealership affiliation.
A 17 millimeter socket is used on a ratchet to remove the drain plug from the oil pan.
The owner uses the same universal hydraulic fluid as the rear end, noting the Mahindra book specifies this and the front end sees less stress than the rear.
This is the 300 hour service; prior oil changes were done at 50 hours and around 150 hours on this 2020 model bought new.
The owner reports zero issues with the tractor, aside from a limb bending a safety switch bracket while bush hogging, which was not the tractor's fault.
