The intro is nice!

[@thomaskjellin9161]

Thanks for the video

[@danyockey6584]

They probably don't do the PIP on the hoods anymore, but that was how we got both of our 30 series hoods replaced.

Morning! You could finish out your north shop and turn it into a wash bay to keep the humidity down in the main shop. I know, time and money. We all know that you can do it after seeing you insulate are tin your seed warehouse.

Gmorning Those hoods are such a pain,,, with the cost of new i would definitely find a body shop,,, I'm confident they'd be able to use some fiberglass repair maybe with some mesh on the inside.. The repair the outside and I think it would be fine... Im the same way always wanting to keep the equipment looking good. Good luck

[@volvojohn9036]

Do you have a water softener in your wash bay? And if the hood is fiberglass a body shop can fix that, if it's plastic take it to a PLASTIC WELDER. Specifically, I've seen Porsche fuel tanks welded, looks just like a good metal weld.

Hey Nathan, just a thought, you might keep an eye out and about if someone could be possibly parting One of those tractors out because it blew a motor and they were NOT able to have the money to fix that tractor, 🚜 Yes I know, it is probably a LONG shot but sometimes you can get a little LUCKY and if it's what you need and not cracked, might SAVE you some money 💲💲💰💰 anyway, just thought I would throw it out there, Yes I know it's a newer one but it happens,, CYA SOON NEXT TIME BE SAFE BUDDY ✌️👍🚜🌞😎🏈

[@markpontes4457]

There are some videos out there on fixing cracks like that, I think Tractor Time with Tim has one.

[@agger838]

Ever pulled the boot off the steering rod ball socket on those tractors to grease behind a snap ring? Have to install a zerk

[@BorderViewFarms]

Yes, but that's a 1,500 hour zerk.

[@chrisfeleciano-ws1ze]

Why not take it to an auto body shop get an estimate have them reinforce it buy John Deere paint stickers that might be an option

[@maxfender6886]

Good morning

[@michaelsurratt9593]

I wouldn’t replace the hood. If it were the 8RX, that would be different. On this tractor, reinforce it to stop further. Someone recommended a body shop, that’s a good idea. Get an estimate.

[@johnbucklerfarms]

What kind or brand of Foaming Soap do you use?

[@billsauberlich7337]

Do you know if the new hoods are made better or are they made the same as the originals?

[@larryesmith5060]

Are You Going to the FT.Wayne Farm Show ?

[@BorderViewFarms]

Yep, Wednesday

[@GeorgeDowling-s5u]

Before i spent 8 grand i would drill the ends of the cracks gouge the cracks with s dremel tool and try some fiberglass filler if it doesnt work your no worse off than before you started.

[@Hendog1001]

i would say if you guys plan to keep tht 8430 fix the hood you know it is going to drive you crazy as it gets woreif you are going to move on from it for an 8rt or 8rx i would say leave it and let the dealer or new owner fix it

[@coltonbrewer834]

Our 8430 hood is original as well. It’s worse than yours. Zip tie stitching some more This Year. I hate it looks like crap but there not Cheap!

[@Thelarrs110]

Not worth 8K, will still look good if u staple and patch it..

[@RonsHorse]

J D green Duct tape ????

[@pekkanissinen5270]

Dirty floormat.. planting wheat.. and driver was BROCK

[@larryesmith5060]

I Would Say it's Time for a New Hood On the 8430, Doubtful it Can Be Repaired

[@mikekenyon3322]
