Correct MC fenders

Post by FarmLife » Tue Sep 04, 2007 9:42 pm

I am new to the crawler world and was wondering what are the correct MC fenders are. The ones on our crawler are 1/2" thick diamond plate steel with lots of gussets, which make me beleive they are special to the wagner loader we got with the crawler. So what I am asking is what are the correct fenders for an MC?

Correct fenders are much thinner, have a rolled edge all the way around, and have dimples in the center portion where you would step.

Is it possiable to find good original ones or new reproduction fenders and brackets, or is there somewhere I can get dimensions of the fenders and brackets to make my own?

Fenders are a little bit like hen's teeth, especially good ones. I have someone working on new ones, but it is going to take a hell of a lot of press to do it.

Look on eBay. If you don't see any, find the people that are parting out crawlers (they say so in their auctions) and ask if they have fenders. But make them list it on eBay, don't just give them money!
