Default Worn dash edge

Whats your favorite repair for a plastic dash edge that wore through from where the hood vibrates against it?

Rough it up and fiberglass it. Or, plastic weld it.

I do have some marine epoxy resin.

And epoxy glue.

And there is always the super glue mixed with baking soda trick.

In the 70's there was a toy called 'spin welder'.

Or I could put my soldering gun on a variac and melt something into it.. maybe make a mess.

I use JB Weld but you gotta get it feathered out good because it is a PIA to sand. Here are a few I've done.

This one is typical of the diesels. I used tape on the back side where the hole was.

Several coats and some sanding.

Then I sprayed a little paint and it turned out pretty good.

This one was in 2 pieces. I used fiberglass on the back side and JB on the front. It still looks good today.

I now put a piece of Armaflex insulation between the dash and hood when I'm working my tractors to keep them from wearing.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
