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.

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.

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.

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

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!
Dang. You guys don't need me at all!
QRT... yours have the tier 2 or 3 engine? I know that came into play in deign changes as well, but the first was indeed the new axle. Now that I think some more... the changes were done in a way that it would fit the new tier 3 when it came out... so...

QRTRHRS,
Now you got me.
My dealer has a used 7520 with a ML276 loader on his lot right now. I know this 7520 was purchased delivered in April of 2007, a month after my 6520. I will swing by today and give it a good look and maybe a photo or two for comparison.Jeremy............We still need you to get our coffee.
You know your input is deeply appreciated here by all of us.hugs, Brandi

I forgot to take my camera, but the owner at Top Flight lent me his ancient polaroid camera. The 7520 engine casting is wider than a 6520. When a 6520 doesn't have a grill guard installed, but has a loader, a 1/2 inch thick shim plate is installed where my grill guard mounts. I have to loosen all 7 (see left photo) forward loader frame bolts to install my grill guard. If I had a 7520 I would weld a 1/2 inch plate over the area of the forward holes ON the grill guard and then you can have 4 bolts for the grill guard, but they would be two different lengths. I forgot to detail the front axle, but I think the 6520 and 7520 has the same axle, thus the same deminsions.

The only thing I see in the owners manual (dated April/07) is that it conforms to Tier II norms? The tractor serial number is KNG-1108. With out going out to the barn to look, I do not know if there are any info plates or stickers on the engine.Dang. You guys don't need me at all!

I don't know if the axle is different, but the steering ram is big time different. It is one of those hydraulics where the housing is mounted and there is a ram that goes in and out on either end of the housing. Common on a lot of tractors. I have no doubt that it is an improvement over our one single one sided steering hydraulic.

Same turning force in each direction. I need to turn up my steering pressure. Wont steer the wheels with a bucket load when stationary. Thats AGs for ya.
