Man I could sure use your skills, my mom's 345 hood is all cracked up and it's around $400 from the dealer. I have contemplated a few times trying my hand at fiberglassing and painting itn. The canopy on my 1070 is the same way. What paint are yoy using on the plastic panels, does regular enamel work?

Here is the 18 hp twin cylinder Ranch King I bought yesterday . It runs great and drives great . It even has a new battery :)
I know it is hard to imagine but when I get done tweaking it the results should look much better :thumbsup:View attachment 391674

Seriously, aside from the color, that tractor looks just like my 1992 Craftsman GT6000.....Looking Good! :thumbsup:

Yes , just regular tractor paint and a paint brush . I did not use fiberglass , I just riveted thin metal on the inside of each crack and used just bondo and sanded it smooth and a nice thick coat of paint slapped on with a paint brush. In a couple weeks I can sand out the rough spots and it looks good enough for me and my grandson to have fun on, ha,ha.
