CCC Grille Emblem - How To ReAttach?
 

Hello OCC members,

I was out cutting grass yesterday and when I finished mowing something wasn't right on my grille... the CCC emblem was missing. Lucky for me I found it.:NailBite:

Now my question is, how do I reattach it? The original posts that were on the back of it have broken off, so the back of the emblem are smooth. I can't tell if this is aluminum or pot metal. I am leaning towards pot metal given the era of the equipment. I don't really want to weld on it so welding on a small bolt seems out, but if its my only option so be it.

What do you guys think? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Put it in your tool box,junk drawer or whatever, when you sell your tractor, attach it with construction adhesive :beerchug:
I guarantee nobody will notice it's missing.
When I was a young man we shaved the trunks/hoods and took off the running boards. :beerchug:
there is a nice one on ebay, I think he only wants $250 ++ for it :bash2:

I would put IH back :biggrin2:

lol. I wish I had the money I'd chucked in the trash can when I was younger...

LOL - I like your style Goerge, but I know its missing. It has nothing to do with Function of the tractor, more to do with the Form.

Jason, not a bad idea, but I would have to buy a new decal for the back of the tractor too. The wife will notice too many purchases.:bash:
Plus I really know its not an IH built tractor. IH designed maybe. The CCC logo is kind of unique and retaining it would be ideal.

I might TIG on a couple small bolts to fasten it to the grille screen again. Still open for other ideas.:beerchug:

Ain't no tiggin' iffin it's zinc diecast:bigthink:

Can you drill and tap it and insert studs?

I don't know how that thing originally attached so just a guess.

Git yourself a couple of machine screws and nuts that are long enough.

Strategically locate said screws in the back of the badge with the threaded part pointing toward the grill...

Then mix up enough epoxy to fill the hollow part of the badge and fill it up.

When the epoxy has cured use the nuts to secure it back where it belongs.

Wipe hands on pants.

I would drill a small hole top and bottom and use two small machine screws to hold it on, once it's mounted dab the head with some black paint and no one will ever notice.

Use the beveled machine screws so you can counter sink the heads to hide even more...
