B2650 Hood w/strip repair

[BubbaJr]

I was doing my 50 hour service (a little late) on my tractor today. I pulled the plugs on the oil pan and while I was waiting for the oil to drain I grabbed the hanging w/strip off the bottom of the hood and took a good look at it. I decided to get out my w/strip adhesive and run a bead of it along the bottom lip of the hood. Then I was going to put a bead in the groove of the w/strip.

Before I put any glue on the w/strip, I noticed that there is a metal strip inside the w/strip. I found that I could squeeze the w/strip to tighten up the groove. Then I proceeded to push the w/strip on the rim of the hood. It seems to be a lot tighter, but I'll let the adhesive cure before I get too excited about the repair. I'll check it again tomorrow and see if it seems like it will hold, and let you know how it works out.

I finished working on the tractor this afternoon. After I got done I grabbed the hood w/strip and gave it a gentle tug, AND IT DIDN'T MOVE.:cool2: Before if you looked at it sideways it would fall off. If I have further problems with it, I'll let you know.

Seems to be a problem with those strips. I was always putting mine back on. Squeezed mine and glued both. No more problem.

The strip is #60 at the bottom of the hood.
