Crazy Horse Garage 47 #1 Posted September 28, 2023 I was wondering if anyone has used a 3D printer to duplicate any hard to find Wheel Horse parts? I have a 1961 701 with a busted up dash plate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,514 #5 Posted September 28, 2023 I received a 701 dash from Lowell back in May. It was a "second" with some defects which I was aware of. After retrofitting to work on my 701, I reported these findings to Lowell. 1. The mounting holes did not line up. 2. The plastic around the hole for the ignition switch was too thick. As I said, I mentioned and show him at the big show in June. I don't know if he made any changes since then. 3. Now, 5 months later, I have found that the plastic is yellowing faster than the ones that were made by Glen Pettit. Here is a picture of the dash from Glen that has been installed since 2012, next to Lowell's. Lowell's dash is stronger and doesn't warp if not mounted. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd consider painting that the color you want. I’ve used Rustoleum 2x on plastic lawn furniture with very pleasing results. And according to @ebinmaine’s Paint Department, it comes in Navajo White! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's another one that's escaping me at the moment. Different shades of off-white. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,514 #9 Posted September 28, 2023 I had thought about painting, but the hassle of removing the cables, push button, key switch and ammeter has held me back. I probably will come winter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
