Obviously this engine was way beyond the best of methods and chemical products. What happened was there was no muffler on the exhaust as can be seen in the before pics where he hung a coffee can over it. He mentioned that he didn’t use the can trick until more recently when someone explained...

A few more after pics

Before, during and more after restoration pics.

I wanted to show off my Johnny Popper I restored a few years back, it was a field find”. The owner told me it needed just needed some TLC, a muffler and a starter. Famous last words! In the before pics you can see what condition it was in. I got it for a song so I had plenty to invest. I didn’t...

I’ve a got couple more, we love them too.

Yes, thanks for clearing that up. That’s what I found on the 3-point control too. Yes, this is my first real tractor with a loader. After working leveling my lay down area for 3-4 hrs I started to get a little better with the controls. I wish it had a swivel seat on it. I got a sore neck from...

My 2014 3616 HST Loader seems to be overly sensitive in the up and down loader functions. I read my manual that says the knob under the seat adjusts the hydraulic speed. I ran it in and it didn’t appear to have any real effect on the loader, but it did slow down the 3-point. Is there a different...

My pics didn’t make it in the above post so I’m going to try again.

I own quite a few attachments for my Mahindra 3616 tractor and even some for my Husky TS 348d riding mower. Ive been keeping them outdoors in a designated lay-down area. They have been stored on pallets in the dirt but it seems whenever I want to use something it’s always knee deep in grass and...

As I said before, I throughly went through the fuel system, tank and fuel lines, up to the injection pump. So I decided to go back and check what I did starting with the fuel supply from the tank. To do that I took the fuel filter cup off and opened the fuel feed valve and it’s flowing good and...

Oops, first post, double post.

I recently bought a lightly used 2014 3616 HST. I was told it has died before for apparently no reason but he implied he thought it was fuel supply, maybe some bad fuel. Sure enough, it did it to me after starting and running fine for 15-30 minutes. I tracked it down to running out of fuel and...
