Male Plug for Rear outlet on 2810

[Gary_Sharbonno]

Can anyone tell me where to buy the plug for the rear accessory outlet on the rear of my tractor. I asked my dealer today about buying one and they told me that Mahindra does not offer one. This I can not understand. Why would they put a plug and allow the male piece not to be purchased or at least say where to get one?

Thanks to all,
Gary

That is a good question Gary, You are not the first one to ask that question in this Forum.

I will be watching to see what kind of responce you get.

I was going to change the plug on my 2810HST to match my trailers , but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Good Luck

Hi Gary,
I don't know where you can buy just the plug, but for whatever it's worth, the flat bed trailer that I bought along with my Mahindra tractor uses that same sort of plug. I guess that might help me some if I was using the tractor to pull the trailer in a parade or something.
Maybe from there, someone can trace down how to get the plug. The receipt for the trailer simply says "Diamond C Equipment". I don't know if that's a brand name.

I see if I can come up with anything further.

I think this is what you want. If you would rather, they also have adapters to more common styles. It appears to be more widely used on horse trailers.

Thanks for the feed back. It still amazes me that Mahindra does not have it as a part item.

Will let you know when and where I find one.

That looks similar to the factory plug on my F150, it is hard to tell from the pic if it is the same size.

It appears to be a standard 6 way plug that you can pick up at any Wal-Mart Store, Farm and Ranch Store or good hardware store. It is nothing special. As for the factory plug on the F-150 that would be the larger 7 way plug. The 6 way plugs are usually metal where the 7 way is usually plastic. Cost should be around $6 to $7.

Im not sure if the connector on the 2810 is the same as the one on my 4110 but if it is, it is not any kind of standard trailer type.
I am totaly familar with the 6 pin round, 7 pin round, 7 pin RV types.
It has seven round contacts but there are both male & female pins in the connector.
I have looked at several trailer supply websites and even looked up the heavy duty connectors used on tractor-trailer over the road rigs.
It might be some sort of Asian or European type connector. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

William I agree with you. There are no plugs around like that with female and male all in the same plug. I think I will call Mahindra and speak directly with them. I will of course give them a piece of my mind if they say they can't provide the needed info to buy the correct plug.
I will let you all know what they say.
Thanks for the replies.
Gary

Guess I was wrong, however it shold be easy enough to change out the female tractor plug portion to a more standard unit. All you would need is a lighted electrical prob to find the hot wires for brake, running lights and turn signals and wire them into the standard trailer plug pattern. Sounds a lot easier than tring to locate and pay for a single use plug.
