Sprocket 48 #1 Posted June 10, 2015 The fender came off the mounting bracket - or the bracket came off the fender - either way the air gap made life difficult.Today I fixed that. I cleaned the parts up and set to work. I drilled out the holes for the #10-32 machine screws, I had to drill out the fender washers too. I used ny-lock nuts instead of split washers - turned out nice and clean. The fender is in very good shape and I plan on using Herculiner on the underside when I get ready to do the mower deck. The bushings at the pivot point were gone so I used the cap nut trick I saw in here - turns out 1/2 was fine - opening the end was a bit of a chore but between drilling, punching and chiseling off the end it came out clean.I'm missing one of the rubber buttons up front and there's some paint gone because the bracket scrapes the frame - If anyone can point me to a source I'd appreciate it.Oh and I found my steering wheel cover - just needs a new decal as the old one is unrecognizable - I call that a small victory.Thanks for lookingSprocket 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sprocket 48 #4 Posted June 22, 2015 Any sources for the rubber bits would be appreciated - I'll buy an old one or new, I would like to have the bumpers back to OEM and stop the paint chipping/wear problem.Thanks All Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gary L. 12 #5 Posted June 24, 2015 I get these 1" push-in rubber bumpers on ebay, they are 5/16" thick so I sand them down on a belt sander to the thickness that is a snug fit when closed, the ones along the side I put in backwards so the smaller rounded end makes contact, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
