Hood tool

[SVcummins]

Anybody use one of these things ? Thinking I’ll get one and at least straighten the snouts on both tractors . That would make the 3020 hood pretty nice and the 4020 maybe a little respectable anyway

Yes I have one (I guess it has returned) and they work very good. You can take a poor hood and make it decent. Several friends borrow it as well as a local paint shop. The side screen tool they make is a must have as well. Tom

I bought new screens years ago . I was looking for a new hood but for now 136$ and some paint would really clean them up . They won’t be show tractors but maybe look decent anyway

Thad is a great guy and makes some pretty good tooling.

I have those tools for the A and B grills. They work good.

I read that in the green magazine I have that issue
somewhere.

These hoods might be beyond the scope of the home body man

Think it would work on this one?

 

[SVcummins]

Not with me behind it

I've seen these tools advertised & I have no doubt that they work, but being a tad time working with metal
no way would I shell out that kind of money. I would make something to do the job first.. I have body files &
dollies & made metal dollies , & some out of white oak that work well & do the job.

Yes, but heat and a lot of craftsmanship will do the most.

Is that a 2510? I recognize smaller air breather and long silencer.... Then you have no choice but to fix it because hood will be made of unobtainium.

4020 . Gotta a 3020 that needs done too
