No wonder you have problems. The wiring situation could well be the reason the original solenoid went bad in the first place. Hitachi is a name brand machine, so can you find a proper wiring diagram to match the unit? Or have you already tried that route and come up empty? I've seen other...

'Gets real hot" using what? The machine's wiring or the battery jumper wire? If it has three wires (one being ground) then which of the other two pulls it in and which one holds it in? Only the hold circuit should be powered with key switch on. The other is more momentary, like when starter is...

I have zero experience with Kioti common rail systems, but I've heard from a few people with other brands that they have problems unless they keep the RPMs wound up all the time. While it makes for a certain amount of inconvenience sometimes, it's the only way they can keep their system clear of...

Not all tractors are created equal. On some models much of what goes on inside varies from one transmission version to another. In this case it looks like the PTO is driven through the engine clutch in both gear drive and hydrostatic transmissions, so your symptoms lean towards the clutch...

Don't know the model, but I would expect it has a serpentine belt with no adjustment. Just a spring loaded tensioner. If you get the belt routed properly no adjustment is needed.

Too many possibilities on that one. Yes, the pump timing can be a factor with that pump, but so can fuel supply. Looks like you have a low mounted fuel tank, no dedicated fuel lift pump, and Mahindra's (patented) fuel lines with sections of rubber fuel hose crimp sealed to sections of steel...

Some of the early tractors had no screen on the hydraulic pump, but I think the 65 does. If the standpipe O rings are good, I would go next to the screen. Drain the rear housing (probably needs that anyway) and remove the right side cover with PTO shift lever. Look inside for a tin cover about...

I would suggest you NOT fool with the "fuel injection system". That's not homeowner friendly, and most likely not part of the problem. If the engine dies as described it PROBABLY is from lack of fuel. What are you doing to get it going again? Are you finding air in the system AT the injection...

Just what in the world are you on about here? He's not fooling with any hoses or connections.

I can't see where removing the drive shaft is going to be much help. The shaft isn't the problem. You need to revisit the front axle with tires off the ground. When you turn one tire (either one, either way) what happens? When one tire rotates the pinion shaft (the one the drive shaft connects...

No, you can't get a new spool (if that's indeed what broke). You broke the actual spool, or some prt of the linkage that operates it? If it's the spool you need a new valve assembly yes, but not necessarily one from Mahindra. Most any loader valve will work, you just need to get your fittings...

It may not have many hours on it, but the age factor creeps in. Things like belts, hoses, filters, ETC most likely can be found. Bearings and seals are mostly generic anyway so they're available. Internal engine parts (should you ever need any) would be questionable at best. Shafts, gears, and...

If the sound changes with one injector cracked then move it to another cylinder and try again. See if the sound follows the injector or stays with the cylinder.

Can the cam wear out? ANYTHING can wear out, cam lobes included. But when any "wear" takes place whether it's cam, lifter, push rod, or rocker arm related the valve lash will increase, not decrease. If the valve adjustment is too tight, I can only think of two reasons for that. 1) Valve face...

When I came across this problem a couple years back it was my first time with this particular issue. Seemed simple enough. Pump's not working. Remove it, overhaul it and be done with it. I split that tractor at least three times, had the pump apart two or three times and couldn't make any sense...
