How much does that bumper cost, and where can I order one through the mail?

Any Mahindra dealer. It is a KMW product. I got mine with my tractor and I think it was around 120 dollars. Then I added 1/2 inch thick braces, then added the expanded steel. I bent the expanded metal at work and had my local welder tack it on.

Problem is my dealer is 1.5 hours away, and I'd rather do it via mail. Maybe I should make a separate post to see if any of the dealers that watch this forum would mail one to me.

Jrlogan,
You can call your dealer and ask him, or send a private message to Rback33. He posted on this thread at message #6. Rback33 might be able to help you out.

hugs, Brandi

Watch out for that guy... he's a sly one. oh wait...

I am not sure if I even have them on hand. I would guess that they have them in stock in Houston. They have been doing a pretty good job of stocking them as of late.

I hope all my grumbling when my grill guard was tardy in arriving didn't cause Houston to horde them.

If that is the case.

, contact Jsupport about getting one out of Houston. Tell her Brandi suggested it.

But she may tell you that you need to work through your dealer, which really is a good thing because the dealer you bought your tractor from is there to support you.

Being loyal to one dealer pays dividends when you really need him for help later. They are more willing to go the extra mile to help loyal customers.

Jrlogan,

Just so you are aware, the bumper for a 7520 is slightly different then the 6520. My dealer and I discovered that when I was trying to get one.

If you look at Bindian's picture, the loader frame is outside of the bumper frame. The frame would have four holes to match the the hole pattern. On the 7520, the bumper bolts over the outside of the loader frame and only has the first two vertical holes. Make sure that your dealer is aware of this so you do not get the wrong one shipped.

Brandi, I like the modification on your grill guard. The guard is plenty stout but minimally protective. I think it is by the grace of god over my skill that I have not mangled my grill while cleaning up trees with my grapple bucket.

The grill guard on my '06 7520 4wd is just like Brandis. At least I think mine is a 7520.

I remember something about a two bolt hole grill guard. I am glad mine has 4 bolts. Two bolts in a vertical can be sheared with enough force at the top of the grill guard.
I nerfed my grill in one day before the extra braces and expanded metal. The grill comes off fast with, I think, 6 bolts. I dug a bowl shaped depression in my dirt floor of the barn and laid a towel on it. Then I placed the grill on it and with a small block of wood and a hammer, carefully beat the dent out, then repainted it. But I have years of sheetmetal experience on airplanes.

My short term memory strikes again. I should have gone back to my post about it last spring. The 275 loader guard is different from the 276 which is what I have. The 276 loader grill guard is part number 1590-2053.

According to my 276 manual, the loader is the same base loader as the 275 but moved forward to clear the new front axle?

Brandi, I feel the same way about the bolt setup. I figure that if I hit something hard enough to do that, I may just have other thoughts on my mind then of scratching the grill work, ha!
