L3830 dented fender

[bosch45]

Anybody ever fix a dent on their tractor, I dented the lower part of the fender near the floorboard.
maybe a dent puller or bang it out?
any suggestions?

Take it to a bodyshop to get it right
dent pullers make holes?

Think of it as a battle scar

Harbor freight sells body hamers and hand anvils to back up the metal. You can minimize the extent of the damage for 25 bucks. If you are easy with it, you may not even damage the paint very bad. Don't try and make it perfect - you can't. If you do too much hammering, you will stretch the metal and it will wind up worse. Just do a few to make it better and less noticeable.

Just give it a few lovetaps with a hammer and call it good. My tractor is just a tool, a mighty exspensive tool but just a tool.
