Can you buy an adaptor to convert it to the canister type filters?

I'm not sure what you mean by cannister. The stock filter is a spin on type, and there's barely room for it. I don't see how I could fit any type of adapter in there. I'm open to ideas though.

I've seen adaptors from say....Napa, that fit in the spin off slot and allow you to route a hose up to another location for a canister type filter, you know, the wix style? Could be talking out my butt, but I've seen such upgrades on newer pickups before.

The Mahindra is still running strong! No new complaints or issues to speak of. After procrastinating for 3 years, I have finally ordered a set of V-Bar chains for my tractor. Ice and hills often result in me getting stuck when plowing snow. I have kept my tractor stored in my heated garage since new, and this has helped to keep it looking new. I change my oil regularly, and I now have 175 hours on my tractor. That's all for now.

I'm approaching 200 hours on my Mahindra now. The V-Bar chains were an excellent idea! I made it through the winter with no issues whatsoever! The only big complaint is that wimpy 3-point hitch. I keep bending the upper link. Anyone know where i can get a beefier one?

You talking about the top adjustable link? You should be able to get one from any dealer such as John Deere for instance. Is it a cat 1 or 2 hitch?

My 51 Ford 8N has a leaver to control the floating of the 3 point, if I have it in the wrong position while mowing with my finish mower it will also bend the top link. Sounds like you have got things sorted out with your tractor, keep the reports coming.

I have been looking for a tractor for a while now. I was concerned that with the things I wanted to do, I would need something of a higher horsepower, but... After reading your postings I am considering maybe a little smaller one, may save some money and still get down plenty of what I want.

I have the same tractor and the oil filter is a pain to get at, but I found an oil filter wrench on ebay that solved the problem.
You might be able to find one locally.

check out this link for Baldwin oil filters they have filters that fit the 1815 hst.

Time for an update. It's been a while. I now have 240 hours on my Mahindra. She hasn't seen much use lately due to a very mild winter here. Everything is still working great. The battery is now approaching 5 years old, and still going strong, though it now cranks a little slower when it's cold. The only part I have needed to replace was a rear flasher bulb. I can't seem to keep those working. Maybe because I'm touching them witth my fingers and getting skin oil on them? No big deal though. I also had a left front tire that kept going flat. A can of fix a flat was meant to be a temporary solution, but it hasn't leaked since. I'm sold on Mahindra. This is one of the best lasting, rugged, and sturdy machines I have owned. I do regret not adding the hydraulics for a few attachments I would like to get, but I'm sure I could add those any time I feel ambitious. I'm still going to say that a Mahindra is a great choice. Maybe I will post these updates until that tractor finally dies......but more likely, it will outlast me. LOL.
