Tractor related bonehead move of the month-I'll start

[sd455dan]

Had been working on my Rhino tractor cleaning a magnet that's in the main intake feed line, before the hydraulic pump for the loader. Had the hood tilted forward for access and decided to cycle the loader to check for leaks, you can probably guess what happened next....

Going to try to repair the damage. Hope no one else has done anything like this??

Ouch.......for the record....nobody on TBN has ever done dumb things with their tractors....it just doesn't happen!

 

[groundcover]

Ouch ! I hate it when that happens !

 

[Ted Summey]

I've done a couple of things like that ( before I joined TBN to be in keeping with jerrybob's pronouncement ) At least it looks like it can be straightened.

That will buff right out...

Its just a mere flesh wound

While trying to load a large landscape timber into a dumpster it rolled back, and I got a dent like that. Just glad that it got the hood and not me! :confused2:

Many owners of tractors with quick attach loaders have creases across their hoods...

Well I feel a little better Knowing that I'm not the only one....Have removed the sheet metal and getting ready to look at trying to straighten the hood Here's the sheet metal ,couldn't stand to leave it on the tractor looking like that.

Harbor Freight sells a body/fender repair kit for cheap. Worked beautifully on my tractor hood, fenders, roof.
