I've got some gouges in my plastic body of my tractor and would like to know if anyone has ever done plastic repair and what or how do you go about this?

I've seen some epoxy repair sticks that claim to repair plastic.( I'd try one even if it dind't say it repaired palstic.. ) try to sand the divot area with super fine, then apply the epoxy.. contour.. cure.. rough sand.. finish sand with up to 1000 or better.. prime and paint.. Should be ok.

Everybody makes jokes about "Bondo", but the stuff works.

If you have a good body/paint shop nearby? they should be able to fix it like new again

I would go with a gel coat repair kit. You might even be able to get it color matched. Try Spectrum Color . Gel coat repair kit are used for boat or any other plastic repairs. I've used Spectrum products to repair the nicks I get in my SeaDoo. You can get generic repair kit at most boat supply places like Boaters World. Down side to the generic kit is matching the color.
