It also covers driveshaft maintenance (three grease points) and the single-orientation spline alignment detail. Practical depth for a how-to; most useful to new Max 26 owners doing this job for the first time.
Filmed at a Mahindra dealership with staff narrating the process, so the tone is instructional but dealership-produced.
Lower the three-point hitch fully, pull three pins (front bracket and two keyring-style pins), release the rear driveshaft collar, then drive the tractor over the deck in four-wheel drive low range.
Position the tractor over the deck, lower the three-point hitch so the linkage drops between the painted red pieces, replace the three pins, then reconnect the driveshaft by aligning it with the collar.
There are three grease points: one on each U-joint and one in the center of the shaft where the two half-shafts overlap.
No, it only fits one way. A missing spline spot must line up with a matching indentation mark on the shaft, or it will not slide together.
