nigel 1,876 #30 Posted February 10, 2020 I decided to paint the black bits instead of vinyl because I have always found you get creases when you do large areas I will put the decals on later 5 Stormin, Alan, pmackellow and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the showman 4,074 #43 Posted March 2, 2020 Can you grind the weld off the pedal bracket and move the pedal out an inch. ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No I’ve found out on the Jd 70 it has a bend from the carb to the air filter which would raise it above the pedal and then the filter sticks out at An angle, so I will be cutting a lawn mower handle up tomorrow and will make a couple of flanges up 1 the showman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the showman 4,074 #46 Posted March 3, 2020 I think you may need to drill a small drain hole as the filter looks like its facing up and might catch water off the bonnet 2 Cub Cadet and Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
