Skid plates on a L3400

[digicamnut]

Anybody know where I can get one for my L3400? Just had to bring it in to repair the radiator and fan belt.

digicamnut, I didn't see in your sig a FEL? (I did see just about everything else ) FEL helps as a brush guard. I'm looking for something to protect the tie rods...

Yes I have a FEL. I was using the grapple when this happened. Also found out I bent one of the tie rods.

Are you sure you bent it, they aren't straight to begin with.

Yeah, me too.

Check out teg's first picture in his thread, you can see his bend and the bend that is supposed to be there. My bend was pretty small, but I replaced the tie rod anyway back at my 50 hour service.

Nevermind... reading my old post said they were less then $100. (I asked "how much was the new Tie Rod?")

Mine are just not right...

Yea! it was bent allright. I'm glad I had it insured.
