pimped my tractor

I did this to scare the neighbors. Problem is that the tractor is so weird looking they think it is a stock feature...

I don't know where or when Mahindras or british built IH's had a bad reputation. Most people on here seem very pleased with their Mahindra tractors. I know I am, I would buy one again without even looking at the competion's offerings. As far as british buit IH's, I had an international 384. It was a good tractor too.

Mboulais- Just for informational purposes, the entire British line of IH tractors (those that were built in England) was sold to the Indian company Mahindra. They bought all of the original tooling, and lots of parts, too. That's why, on the first Mahindra tractor model produced, the 1300(?) had a big B-275 cast on the torque tub (Its so wide, it looks like a tub, not a tube), same torque tub as was on the International model B-275. If you don't believe me, google it. I sure hope the get better than those originals were!

I believe you, The hoods off some of the Mahindra's fit some older IH's. I just didn't have a lot of problems with my British IH. Of course its electrical and fuel system had been modified before I owned it. My mahindra is actually made in a TYM plant, It's not one of the ones based on the IH tractors.

These pics aren't the greatest. Both with the garage lights off. One with flash, one with a long exposure. Still need lights behind the rear wheels.

Two more pics. One of the lights under the front end and one of the switch in the dash.

Two pics of mid light installation.

The two 8-32 machine screws coming through the platform are neatly hidden beneath the floor mat. They are the tiny fasteners uner the clutch pedal. much smaller than the numerous bolts already hidden under the mat.

How about a full picture so we can see how weird it is. You need to add an Iron Cross to it somewhere and a WW1 German helmet spike to the canopy.

I like it, I am going to start looking for decals. I don't know exactly what I want yet, but I'll find something. Maybe a hood ornament too, hmmm....

I could see chrome nekkid ladys on mudflaps on your tractor.

What I want is a pinup girl like mjncad but there really is no room for paint. The wife says she is going to paint flames along the side. I hate to see her waste her time cause those areas get trashed in my terrain.
