Thanks, with all the stuff I added, if I had to pick one thing as my favorite it has to be the heated seat.... I was absolutely toasty sitting on it.

Video will be made shortly, I am waiting for two parts to finish the tractor. My rear work light died when I fired up the tractor and I smoked the LEDs with 13.4volts from the alternator. I assumed(never assume) they were 12v leds as everything was fine on the bench and running on the battery...

Hey Arrow, my six circuit fuse box i added is full. The HID lights on the front crash bar are wired into the stock 10A headlight circuit of the tractor, as well as the brake and reverse LED lights. Everything else is fed off my aux fuse panel I added, which is fused at 40A. My 22" LED light bar...

I was able to mount the retractable seat belts from my stock seat to my new seat today. I figured why reduce safety for a little added comfort... I had expected to have to change seats when I use the backhoe but it turns out the new seat, being bigger and having armrests and now with seat belts...

All I can say about this mod is.....Mmm...... Heated seat.... Finished wiring and mounted the High/Low/off switch, allowed me to finish one side of the tractor so here is the rear fender in black all back together. I painted the other fender Friday so when I finish my E-lock diff mod I will be...

Here is another simple mod I did this morning... I found this impact resistant and waterproof storage box on sale($38) at Princess Auto. I don't have very much room on the Max25 so my solution which will work for me 98% of the time was to mount it on my drawbar. It clears all the 3point arms...

Updating my build thread, so I will start with a really simple mod. My joystick knobs were not very exciting so I decided to replace them, my shafts are standard 3/8-16 thread so it's almost unlimited what you can use. They match my steering wheel and for the backhoe I found the shafts a little...

I have been busy finishing my strobe lights. It was worth the effort but I need a break, ALOT of wiring but my 6 zone contoller with twenty plus flash patterns is really cool. Psychedelic and almost seizure inducing comes to mind... No way anyone's not gonna see me out there. I need to take a...

Well... Sometimes things don't work out. 1st time I received something made in China that was BIGGER than I expected, my office chair was huge !! Always have a backup plan I say, I now have a new "thinking" chair for my shop. The Xpress seat that comes with the MB60 backhoe is so tiny it creates...

Here is a picture that's close to what you are wanting to do... I used a 12v switch instead of using an aux feed for my relay. I do not have an accessory position on my key switch and some things are nice to have without the tractor running, your choice. Just put the fusible link between the...

Here is all I have to go on out of the Mahindra 25 HST service manual... You can see the rod I replaced, the spring I need to compress, which is why I believed I needed to hold the pedal down to keep the diff lock engaged. The spring will separate the dogs item 1 in both photos when pedal is not...

Here is the pics of my lights mounted up, I like how the LED light bar tucks into the ROPS. The top light bar on the back is the emergency strobe lights, yellow tape is just marking which lights are Amber as I have to re wire them for my controller. Bottom bar i am using for a work light, I will...

Here is what I decided to do with my light bar mounts, the lights themselves are pretty weighty so I needed something strong, but with a little stealth built in. I un- boxed my Princess Auto(equivalent to Harbour Freight) shrinker stretcher I bought about a year ago, assembled it, and made the...

I still have one fender to paint and I will not be bolting them on until I mount and wire my lights on the ROPS so the complete pic's will have to wait. Here's a couple more teaser photo's and where I'm at today...

Max's Christmas gift... Should add a bit of flash. White/Amber strobe lights and an LED light bar. The strobe lights come with their own strobe controllers, but that is five on/off switches and five flash mode buttons to operate... Good luck trying to get them all to flash the same. So... It's...
