That is what I will end up doing. Hate to have to spend the time waking on it when I could be doing other things with the tractor.
I was reading the literature on how the limited warranty covers workmanship n durability. I am going to ask if the problem with the rust isn't due to poor preparation at the factory, prior to painting?? Just a thought n if it does not work, then I will wrk on the guard. May not even have to remove it n be able to put a grinder to it, prime it, n then paint it.
