My New Custom made Front Fenders for my DK40

[coobie]

Here are a few pics of my custom made front fenders.I spoke with Michigan Iron & Equipment(Bob Piro) and asked if he could make me some front fenders for my Kioti DK40se.These are what he came up with.Had them mounted on my tractor in about 20 min.Very easy to put on and take off.Thanks again Bob for a quality made product.

Nice job! Curious as to why you want front fenders, especially with a cab? Have you had issues with stuff thrown up by the front tires? Or are you just pimpin' your ride?:laughing:

Just pimpin it out might add curb feelers to,LOL.I put them on for snow plowing this winter.We live on a 2 mile self maintained road.Hopefully they will keep some of the the snow and salt off the cab.

I think you need mud flaps next. Get the ones with a pretty lady inlay in stainless.

Pretty neat.

My NX has what appears to be a different set up with four easy bolts to use on each side. I could fab up the mounts and then use something like a 15" trailer fender and cut it down to size and anneal the edges to keep the plastic from splitting.

I don't think I'll be using my tractor this winter though so my immediate need for front fenders won't be until 2015 winter (I hope) giving me a long time to think about my fender solution.

Very nice, I was trenching through the mud this weekend, some fenders would have been nice!

Eric, if you're not going to use your tractor this winter, does that mean you won't be updating your "My NX6010 thread"? How will I continue learn creative ways to upgrade my tractor, and fix it when stuff goes wrong?

Unless you want me to share non tractor tech-tips, like how to rapidly cool a bottle of wine down.

As well as the proper way to enjoy that same bottle of wine.

Ya know Eric, I was sent up to your neck of the woods by the Military one winter. It was quite a shock as I was living in Miami at the time.... I can understand why you might be stayin' inside and tossing down a few. I think my drink of choice however might be sumthin' I could add to coffee...:licking:

No, I was an inspector observing a National Guard unit before they deployed to Iraq.

These would be awesome, my cab gets covered by salt in the winter.

I tried to make some myself then realized that I only have 3/4" between the tire and the dipstick when the wheel is cranked all the way to the right and the axle tilted all the way up.

Did you add in/adjust any bump stops?

 

[George2615]

All good ideas.
Fenders, pretty mudflaps, and I gotta find who sells those rims.
