It's a candid, hands-on fix attempt rather than a how-to guide, he's genuinely unsure if it worked. Most useful to Mahindra owners chasing the same intermittent starter issue.
Posted by the Ledgemere Heritage Farm channel, appearing to be an owner-operator sharing real-time repair experience from their own tractor.
The owner says the solenoid clicks when starting and the key has to be turned several times before the tractor actually starts, pointing to a dirty or faulty connection at the solenoid.
There is a red nut on the plastic dust cover that can be removed with your thumb and finger, which is all that holds the cover on.
The owner cleaned the solenoid terminals and applied dielectric grease instead of lithium grease, then tested it, but was unsure if the fix fully worked.
Contact cleaner worked for a few times but after a couple of days the no-start problem returned, so the owner tried cleaning and dielectric grease instead.
