149 fender install
 

Near time for me to put my fender back on the frame. It has been nicely repainted and I would like not to scratch it putting it back on the tractor. I had the fender off my work 149 to do the cork replacement and scratched it while trying to get past the bottom of brake pedal. Hardly any clearance there at all. Does the fender have to go in with the foot rests down and back of fender up higher? Is it possible to put oil on frame and slide fender in level? I can't remember from the last time I did this. Hope this made some sense. Thanks for your help in advance and have a great day.

Yeah, it's a little tricky to avoid scratching the paint. I'd put some blue painter's tape on the edges to protect them. Then just work slowly. You do have to tilt the front of the fender down and thread the foot pads into place.

I put a blankie over the frame area and and pedal, then placed the pan on then removed said blankie.

Is it a Sesame Street blankie or is it a Paw Patrol? :biggrin2:

Come to think of it, you seem more like a Power Rangers or TMNT kinda guy...

A pink one.

An extra set of hands would help.

Just use a set of rubber baby buggy bumpers on the sharp corners.

Say that 3 times fast! :biggrin2:

Thanks for all the advise. I believe 3 sets of hands will be needed and some kind of buffer between the fender and brake lever. Guess it won't be the end of the world if it gets a little scratch. Thanks again and have a great day.

Card board or some thick towels.
Don't install the lift arm until AFTER the fenders are installed
