John Deere 4100 sheet metal

Anyone have an idea where I can get some reasonably priced used rear fenders for the 4100? The new ones are above $600 each and I can't afford it. I just recently got tractor and I'm trying to bring it back to life.

Would anyone know what other model or make tractors are compatible to the JD 4100? Cub cadet or yanmar?

The 4100 is all Yanmar I believe, so might look for a Yanmar tractor..

Curious, what has happened to the rear fenders ?? How about some pictures.. we like pics.

I needed plastic for a used E-Gator. Every JD dealer seems to quote the same price. EXCEPT "The Green Dealer" I don't know why that is, but that's where I bought mine.

I traded an old Jeep for this tractor that had been sitting outside. It was at a metal scrap yard, I'm trying to bring it back to life. It runs great even though when I first got it, the 3 pt attachment wasn't working. Anyway, here are some pictures.

Sad. That's what SALT does to a machine.

But the tin isn't damaged. I have taken stuff to a body shop, but that isn't cheap either.

All State Ag Parts has machines that they part out. It's worth a check. I've bought some used parts for my 4100 from them. The rear fenders on many 4100/4110's are rusted out, at least in the NE where we have to deal with road salt.

If the metal doesn’t have holes from the rust, why can it not be sand blasted and painted?

I have had a lot of stuff sandblasted. Maybe the medium was too rough, but it leaves a texture. One guy that I used for years called those big rust blisters "sheckles". Don't know why, but you don't appear to be able to hide them through sandblasting. They are there, clear as day after sandblasting and painting.

on one fender the rust is so bad that the fender bends if you put any kind of pressure on it. The rust has made the metal really thin and pitted. I tried to take couple of bolts off and the bolts either snapped or stripped. Also some of the fender is completely missing from the rust. I can't figure out what they did to get the tractor this bad of a shape.
