Takin it to the MAX

[oldpilgrim]

Did I see a pic with only 10 hrs on the clock? You need to spend more time using it. Does it actually run or is it just a looker?

When do you add one of these?

Yes, it actually runs... It takes serious time to do just what I've done. Unfortunately it's winter up here, and the snow gods haven't co-operated. I've used the Plow once, a two hour job with my walk behind snow blower took less than 20 minutes with Max. Doesn't put a lot of time on the clock... I sorta feel like the guy who ran out and bought a snowmobile, only to suffer record highs and wait for snow. But if chance favours the prepared mind... I am ready. As much as I like it, I am unsure on what to use it for daily, in winter ? As far as going with your reactor idea, I choose to stay with Bio- Diesel, may be better for the environment.

Back to business, I have to admit oldpilgrim got me good there... I enjoyed that one, good on you sir !! Since I called this thread "Takin it to the Max" the digs can be too... Lmao. I have had issue with my seat, kinda utilitarian and boring. We all can say an armrest or two would be a nice upgrade, and I found a few seat replacement ideas based on tractor style seat upgrades. But in Takin it to the Max fashion, I introduce an idea completely thought of in an out of the box kinda fashion... Max's soon to be new seat, upgraded to full heated status................ An office chair, now that's just a wicked fun project !!



Note the sweeping gentle curves, complete with fold up armrests....

Perfect! These pics explain what I could see at first. I will be looking into a setup similar to this, but need to have a waterproof monitor as my tractor does get wet from time to time!

Monitor is mounted to the dash top, maybe you mean camera? Here is a pic of both. My neck is not so good either, big reason for front implements and rear camera for me. I only added a front camera to play with as it was made for both. If you do this make sure your rear camera is what they call mirrored, it keeps what you see on the monitor on the right or left the same as the right or left of your body as you sit facing forward on the tractor. It's important because a regular view camera will confuse his right and lefts. Hard to explain but turn around in your seat and you'll see your right side will change, a mirrored camera corrects that.

Here is an update for those of you following this thread, I decided to live up to my name... Black Max. Just teaser shots for now, not the best pics either, guess I'm a little woozy still from the clear coat.... I stripped the front of Max and started to paint everything that was red, Black !!

I honestly think you are nuts, but in a good way! I wish I could hire you for a month.

Just having fun, I said some things may seem silly..... Lol. But thanks my only real complaint about Max was the paint, tractor was fine, but the KMW loader and backhoe kinda looked a little to pinkish to me. So I decided my tractor would match my motorcycle, truck, wife's SUV, and my son's truck, and be black. Not so crazy to me and I think it will look pretty mean when done.

Having fun is what it's all about. Silly or not, what you do seems to be top notch work. I think black will look great!

Of course it's silly and nuts, which is why it's awesome! Can't wait to see the finished result. My only practical concern would be scratches, since it's impossible to use a tractor without wear and tear.

After your 're done spraying the tractor, spray the rims black as well only leave the outer part of the rim silver. One cohesive look I tell ya. Now I'd only say this to a guy such as yourself: keep the lug nuts silver as well. I found the perfect match for the Mahindra wheel color with the Rustoleum "aluminum".
