- Mahindra 2655HST just replaced my Mahindra Max28XL HST
new projects:
Tractor Chain Box
- needed a place to put my chains for hoisting, etc on the tractor. Now that I have a cab, I couldn't do the 4" PVC-to-ROPS mount I did previously.

1/2" Steel tube

flattened expanded metal sheet

18GA sheet metal sides and "clip" to hang sugly off the tractor's loader frame

Final Test fit

final paint.
Underseat slide out "bin"
The Mahindra 26xx series is known to have a VERY low sitting seat. My 2655 had it too, and I raised it up 3" and moved it back 3" as well but putting some 3" square tube under the seat. I saw a space between them, and said.... "Hmmmm.. I could store some stuff here"

So I mounted some slides to the seat risers

made a steel box and painted! Looks nice

Looks nice, opens easily, from outside the tractor or while sitting. But since I since I used soft self-closing slides, it stays shut really well. Won't open by itself. I keep things like a crescent wrench, utility knife, screwdrivers, etc in this box.
