No insurance???

 

[grsthegreat]

that can be fixed at a body shop that does fiberglass repairs.

That´s it!? Wow were you lucky - really, it could have been so much worse, and it looks easy to repair for anyone who works with whatever the top is made of. Imagine if you´d broken some of the glass- now that stuff is custom and expensive as ....
Looking forward to the after pics and cost of repair- take it slow dude....

Is it too early for a lighthearted comment?

Seems like maybe you need a smaller tractor!

As bad as it sounds, it could have been much worse. It all looks like it can be easily fixed and you avoided some of the more expensive and injurious stuff.

Cheers,

Jon

That sucks. Make sure you use plenty of duct tape in any temporary repairs for the quality redneck look though.

I would recommend gorilla tape for an upscale, long lasting repair. :thumbsup: Although, I've only seen it in the color--black.

That's ok Ken.....I didn't quite mix the radiator fluid on the van thick enough for our trip to MB for Christmas. Cracked the rad & the shop tested my fluid @ -30. It hit -34 the day after Christmas......a $361 dollar mistake.

Happy New Year!:laughing:

well - at least you had a better day then I did. I arrived at my rental house and my old nieghbors to find over a foot of hard packed, wet snow. I tried to use my nieghbors sno blower only to find the tire is flat. There wasnt any gas station nearby with free air anymore and they all were the poor, small air pumps that you pay and they arent a worth a darn to reseat the small tire. No rachet straps with me either. Went to a friends house to borrow his snowblower tire and his tires were rusted on shut. aftere 15 mins of cussing and beating, got one off to use. I went back to clear couple driveways in 2.5 hours with a badly clogged carb. no time to work on it. grrrrrrr . Went back to my buddies house and put tire back on and started to help clear his driveway in exchange. when more then halfway thru, I let my buddy take oveer as my hands/feet were cold and I was about to warm up, he "found" a rug buried in snow that the city did not pick up yet. grrrrr - spent 15 mins cutting rug out and found a sheared pin, worn rubber drive on his blower. GREAT .. got 2 sno blowers to fix this week.

Not as bad as I thought it would be, but I know it another unplanned expense and task for the oversize to do list. I broke the radio antenna off the roof myself. For a few months it was just duck taped to the side of the roof. Since I primarily listen to CDs I just tossed the antenna under the cab roof when I open it to fix the heater and epoxy the small broken roof piece back into place. I have to remind myself it's a tractor, it going get war wounds. I just hope those wounds always stay minor!
