Years back when working for dealer had a Puegot 304 brought in by customer - shipped from France to dealer- Customs tried to confiscate but we had paperwork showing was a used personal car that dealer was just accomidating. Still had to bring it to US pollution standards and have inspected as the model had not been certified for US market- passed inspection 3rd try and lady then allowed to register and drive it. Some of military members in church and the local shafty motorcycle club have brought back cars from overseas- most of them were US speced, some of the older used models had to meet basic EPA rules of time of manufacture to be registered. Extra bumpers, new brake master cylinder needed on some. VW beetles from Mexico were being brought into a couple Texas dealerships- bumpers and brakes were US standards, rollbar from SCTA supplier took care of DOT rollover standards and they were running on LP gas so EPA gave them a pass as clean alternate fuel vehicles. The fuel conversion was cheap- the Mexico City beetle cabs had been running the LP gas for a couple years and Mexican equipment was off the shelf. Power was about 35/40 horsepower instead of 50 hp but good torque curve. India has had some tight pollution laws past few years especially for imports- quite possible the vehicle may already meet US EPA specs. Right hand drive is no real problem- one lady in church has a Subaru with right hand drive, headlights can be quick swap. Check the manufacturers tags for codes for market/designation standards, see if Transportation codes match US specs. As long as it's used personal vehicle not meant for resale the tightest crash equipment standards and insturment equipment rules won't be applied- as in left side steering wheel and English insturments. A Indian Registration dated at least a year old will be helpfull- unless you're trying to bring it into California the EPA and Customs people tend to do a paperwork check then let state do inspection for road use. In Illinois that means basic count the wheels, count the seats, guess the weight, pass the tail pipe test and payoff inspector. For extra $100.00 bill to inspector - just drive in and pay, pick up plates and registration 15 minutes later(at least it was a couple years back). If you were to Register it in someplace like North Dakota, might be quicker and easier, mostly legal. RN

Today's Featured Article - The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it. Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are
