I had a couple of cracks in mine, and I stitched them back together with a cheap plastic welding gun like this: Plastic Welder Kit Soldering Hot Stapler Bumper Repair Welding Gun 200 Staples | eBay
That is the fastest, but also the crudest way to fix it.

I suggest using the hot iron method to embed some stainless steel screen on the back side. This way, you can continuously reinforce the crack, and have a much stronger, and better looking repair, with only a little more effort.


I have fixed hundreds of bumper covers this way, so I have had a lot of practice. No comparison which method is better.

If you wanted to do the full repair, you could then, "v" out the crack on the front side, and melt some of the filler rod in to the "v". It's pretty straightforward, to refinsh it then, and make it invisible.

@ray66v: Thanks for your message. Before I got and used the "staple gun", I tried welding using a heat gun and ABS filler rod that I had used on other repairs. No luck at all. I do not know what type of plastic the Massey Ferguson fender is made from, but it does not seem to be ABS. But you're right that the stainless steel screen would be far superior to the staples.

I think that you are lucky to have the 3-piece metal fenders on your older GC.

I have a couple of cracks on mine. I drilled holes just past the end of each crack years ago and neither has gotten any bigger.

I saved the piece, but it's not high on my priority list ... Watering again today is!

Filled up in the dark, then started watering ...

Sun was just peaking up when I was over half done with the first of three loads.

We got .65" of rain back on 7/17, nothing since, and it's been HOT out ... Heat index was 107° when I parked Little Baby Fergie in the barn and went inside for a cold shower, the 80° 49% humidity house felt real nice, of course the three cats were inside!
