How to Replace a Euro 7-Way with a 7-Way Blade Connector
Question:
I recently purchased a 2015 Mahindra tractor that has what I thought was a standard light receptacle on the rear. I bought a 7 way to 12 volt adapter that didnt fit into the receptacle. Thats when I noticed it was a pin type. So I bought this HM47425 and it doesnt fit either. I think this some kind of Euro receptacle. Would yall have anything to adapt to 7 way blade?

That is definitely a Euro style 7-way that you submitted a picture of. You would want to remove this connector and go with a standard 7-way blade connector like part # PK11893.
The best way to do that is to use a circuit tester like our # PTW2993 to determine the functions of the wires by having a buddy apply the different brake and tail light functions while you use the # 3808 to determine which wire does what and then wire it to the 7-way like the picture I attached.
Once you do this you will be able to tow your boat trailer, but also any other trailer with a 7-way.
