“Bad” PO fixes that are too cool to change?

I love this air shroud on a K241 I’ve got.  Post up pictures, if you have PO repairs that were so wrong they were right!

    I think you need to watch Andrew Camarata fix his truck.  I either saw him use a sawzall or a chain saw on the inside....He is the sheet metal screw king. I have some 14HP black hood shaker mount engines that look horrible from my welds and added metal on the inside, but not too shabby on the outside. JB Weld is my friend

He needed to cut trough the dashboard for the heater core I think. 

 

Fired up his chainsaw cutting his way trough.

I guess the handclapped grab bars on the rear fenders of "Hot Wheels" would qualify here. They were on the 953 when I bought it and I just couldn't see any reason to remove them.

That's fender reinforcing. The fenders on that model are usually all bent in, those are nice and straight.

Big Junky is being taken apart.  It’s a 1076 that has so many PO “fixes” that it’s hard to fathom how deep the repairs go!  There’s not a ton on the tractor that is decent, but it ran and drove quite well.  The hydro motor will go towards another hydro without reverse.  The engine will get tossed on the shelf for now, but likely on a plow tractor some day.


pardon the mud, it was a little wet the last time this one ran!

One day I'm gonna restore my 701, but the PO drilled out the hood.

 

But, they did such a good job that it will likely stay...
