![]() Replaced the seal on the tranny output shaft for the front axle drive shaft. I also had them install new axle bearings since they had it torn apart. Had to have both rear axle seals replaced along with the expensive proprietary axle retainer nuts. (now keep at least 4 on hand) Don't buy the Mahindra/TYM brand, get them at a bearing/seal store, they're cheaper and a little better quality. Replaced the PTO output shaft seal 5 times. Replaced the HSU (hydraulic steering unit) due to it "pissing" oil twice, one under warranty, the second one out of pocket. So this is what I've had to do to mine so far Your fuel supply line may start to leak 'cause the left brake rod rubs against it. Other hose leaks will develop in areas under the floor pan due to the way they are routed over sharp edges etc. The water splashed on the tranny case & immediately started sizzling and turned to steam! When I got home after trailering it for half an hour, I got my laser thermal gun and the case was at 232 degrees! So with that being said, this is what you have to look forward to ALL seals and "O" rings below oil level line will "cook" and harden then leak hydraulic hoses will start leaking at the crimped area of the connections.

It has 154 hours on it and now has the pto seal leaking again as well as the axle seals. The tractor has been back to the shop a total of 4 weeks and counting as it is there now. The radiator plugs constantly while brush hogging and is not user friendly to clean out (have to stand under the loader arms because the screens won't come out with them down and burn your arms trying to get it all out from the bottom of the radiator). There has been several minor coolant leaks and a pto seal replaced last summer. I had to have the loader valve replaced at 60 hours due to it sticking constantly and when I did my 50 hr service the hydraulic oil was burnt. It keeps smoking a/c belts whenever it's above 80 degrees out. ![]() I traded in a 2 year old 1538 last summer for a new 2555 shuttle cab and have had nothing but issues with it.
