I’m pretty sure the silver/crome one goes in the center on the back of the rear fender. Correct me if I’m wrong. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed. 1 hour ago, TonyToro Jr. said: I’m pretty sure the silver/crome one goes in the center on the back of the rear fender. Correct me if I’m wrong. Agreed there too. Methinks the larger one that looks like faux wood is for the headlamp block out plate for tractors without headlamps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,607 #137 Posted January 11 Correct on the decal placement. Bad photos but you get the idea. The front where headlights would go and on the back fender under seat pan. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe leonardo 164 #139 Posted January 11 Ok so I took the dash face off and could you guy tell me if it's been hacked? Also how do I remove the steering wheel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,729 #140 Posted January 11 Push the roll pin out and lift off the wheel. Steering wheel removal is a right of passage with wheel horses. Lots of threads here on various methods....almost always involving blood sweat tears and cursing... To start get a true quality 1/4" roll pin punch 2 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
