You need to get your bucket chromed and a set of curb feelers installed, then get a 'bowling ball' paint job.
You would be the talk of the woods.

I have almost as much fun bashing fords
as I do bashing deeres , so I can take one too now and again. Deere makes a good product, but they are easy to pick on because they are overpriced and enjoy a little more brand recognition/loyalty than they deserve. BTW- I wasn't bashing deeres with the yellow lights comment. I was just saying If I had one, it would need yellow lights, If I had a NH I would put blue lights under it.I got a deere hat for christmas from my BIL (works at a Deere Dealer), I actually wore it last night. ( I needed something to keep the dirt of my hair crawling around under the tractor adding more lights.)
I added two more lights under the operators platform. One is wired up. I also got wires pulled to the back on the left side to power one last pair. The wiring to the back is running in the same plastic sheath I used for the aux headlights I mounted on the ROPS a couple years ago. I installed my fuse last night. I ran out of wire last night or the middle set would be done. I tested the system again when I finished for the night, It is going to look great.
I will post more pictures after I finish the center lights.

Mboulais: Just jerking your chain a little. I'm definitely no fan of Deere, either. I used to work on all types of tractors, and Mahindra inherited the bad reputation that IH earned in its British built tractors. I just like to stir things up a bit, still a troublemaker at heart. Dave

Oh, boy. Visions of the all-steel wheels that the Amish still use on tractors in Lancaster County, PA... that might actually work, y'know!

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.
