jinman said:Bob, I said earlier in this thread that the hood might cost $600. Well, I must have had that confused with just the headlight and grill assembly. Your costs for complete replacement could go as high as $2000 it seems. That's pretty shocking to me and I think the repair is a far better option. It just seems strange to me that the entire hood, grill, lights and all should add up to 10% of the complete tractor's cost. Something seems skewed it that pricing, but of course, that's always the way it is for repair parts.
I was hoping $600 would cover, but you are right...$1600 x-screens. I'm going to become skilled in fiberglass repair...
It is interesting how NH determines values for parts, but I'm sure there are >50% margins too. It can't cost more than $100 to make.
