L 4150 Fenders

[Keltic]

I need to replace these rotten ones, any Canadian sources? Price? Thankk you everyone.

A HVAC shop with a brake could probably bend some galvanized ones up. Get a body man to weld em in.

I doubt aftermarket has picked up this item, Kubota would carry for big $$$.

Is it by chance FRONT fenders that are rusting?

I had a 4150 and have a 5450 now - and I can't picture rusted out rear fenders - they are pretty robust - unless there is a really severe corrosive environment this tractor has to operate in. Can you describe the deterioration a little more?

It's the rear, that winter salt I'm afraid, the were very badly damaged when I bought the tractor. I got a price of 700 $ a side yesterday from the dealer. Yikes

Yikes indeed. Are your running boards ok? How about the fuel tank and the wheels? These fenders are sandwiched between the ROPS and supports from the axle - not a trivial job to replace - fine thread bolts everywhere and likely corroded.

My suggestion would be to start calling tractor salvage yards around the US. Maybe someone has a L3750, 4150, 4350, 4850 or 5450 that's being dismantled. Some of the earlier M models may fit too. I do believe that most tractors don't loose their fenders like this - yours was perhaps in a uniquely corrosive situation before you owned it? Take care - good luck, Dick

Update - Robyn at West Kentucky Tractor Parts says they have a good left fender from a 3750 for $200. http://www.wkytp.com

It is only the fenders that are really bad, it was used to blow and salt sidewalks, so thats why the cancer is so advanced. Thats for the ideas, salvage probably is the way to go. Have to check compatablity with the other models. Thanks again.

The doors are rusted out with holes through them on the International we use because it is used for blowing driveways in winter. Travelling on the road throws salt all over it.
