Refurbishing a steering wheel

[Steve_in_Ga]

I have the original steering wheel for my model 40.
I would like to have it reconditioned.
Anybody know of anyone doing that these days?
There used to be a company in Minnesota that advertised that, but I can't find any info on them.
I have a replacement on the tractor now that came from China or India. It works but not quite the same thing.
Thanks
Steve

Several years ago I removed my old wheel, sprayed on 7 or 8 coats of black truck-bed coating, a spray can from O"Reilly"s. I let it dry, then sanded between coats. I like it a lot. Black, grippy, tough tough, secure, covers cracks well, very long-lasting. Has a black, textured look. Grips real well.

Google Minnkota repair for your steering wheel repair.

I found the web site and will contact them.
68.00 sounds fair if it a quality job.

Are you sure minnkota is still in business?

Last I knew they were not....it would be great news if they were!

Like the others, I understood that Minnkota went out of business.
Check with Lindstrom. He used them and might know of someone else.

I found the website.
I sent an email and called the phone number listed, (left a voice mail).
If they are not in business any longer, it seems someone is still paying for the website hosting and the phone.
