Ya, Princess Auto has some good deals from time to time. For how cheap they were, they've worked great for me. Thanks.

Are your gauges just set in the steel dash? If so, you could attach a small visor across the top of the dash and attach a LED strip to the underside of that. That should illuminate your gauges.

Not sure what your gauge cluster looks like but I had the same issue with my B2400, no gauge lights. Here's my post on how I fixed that issue. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/no-lights-b2400-gauges-no-problem-pics.42084/

That helps thanks. Is that 3/8" or 1/2" plate that you used?

ouch... looks like a big punture. hope the patches hold

Just from that pic., I would agree. I'd heat it up and use a BFH to get it back in shape

Installed new pins. Cleaned this hose protective sleeve with soap and water using a tire brush. go rid of all that moss pretty easily. I still need to clean up + paint the bucket. .

Parts arrived! Got things reassembled...for the most part. Started with the new decals. Then I started on cleaning up the hard lines. Two of the 4 hard lines were too bent up, so I replaced them. But the other two lines were only rusted in a few spots and the bends weren't so bad that they...

After a week of on and off activity, I have the reinforcement plates welded in place and painted. This is after the welds were dressed. I sand blasted the side frames again getting them ready for primer. I used an automotive 2K Urethane primer. I also tried the Harbor Freight paint...

Well...today's grand plans went to poop. I picked up some weld through primer. Got it at my local Car Quest, $36.01Cdn = $28.60us. There must be gold in that can somewhere. Will use this stuff in-between the reinforcement plates and the Side Frames. My plan was to get everything welded up...

Put in a few hours after work today. To make myself feel better I'm going to reinforce the Side Frames. 1st I made a template. And then using some 1/8" plate I cut out some blanks to make the reinforcement plates. The blanks are approx. 7"x20". Cut the metal with my HyperTherm...

What a great day to be outside, monkeying around in the garage! Started the day with some small parts painting. Used my cheap Harbor Freight detail gun. No idea what size tip this thing has but I'll guess maybe a 1mm tip. If you know...let me know. Then headed over to a friends to use...

Thanks, I'm going to clean out the Pin boss's before the Pin's go back in. .

Thanks

Ya, that'd be great... no rush... I mainly work on this thing on the weekends anyway.
