When I first seen the horrible mark on my new 1026R, I felt sick. I used a palm sander when I was building my snow cab, and some how I had gotten too close to the back fender and left deep scratches on the top near the rops. I immediately tried to rub it out, but it was too much. How could I have been so stupid to let this happen? I know this summer I will probly get a few more, but with it sitting in my shop with only 3+ hours on it, waiting for more snow, it HURTS! Does anyone know if I can repaint over this plastic fender, and make it look right?

Just hit up your dealer for more of those "business card" decals. With all of my implements combined, I swear there must be over a dozen of them on my stuff. When I get some daylight, I'll share my first scratch also! :good2:
I have repaired some scuffs on my atv plastic with heat. I used a propane torch. You have to be sure not to over heat. I have no clue how it would work here. Might just be better leaving it.
The first week after i bought a new truck in 2010, some guy tried to break into it. I rubbed out everything but a 2 inch scratch that went down to the primer. After 2 years, i dont even notice it anymore. But that was hard to over look when it happened.
You're are no different than the rest of us. At least it wasn't a dent someplace. Our tractor(s) normally looks like it's been rode hard and put away wet (dirty).
I've recently seen some huges "Boobs" in my local Walmart, but the 'chassies' that they were attached to left much to be desired.........:laugh: ~Scotty
Wow .. living in London we'll never see anything like that in our stores.
Looking at some of the photo's, one has to believe some of those shoppers have either forgotten to take their medication or they are on day-release :unknown:
I've always bought the little bottle from the dealer of touch up paint for the cars and trucks I've owned. I'd get a small brush and a small can of JD paint and just, carefully, dab the scratch(s). The other thing about scratches on a tractor, it gives it "character".
Touch ups on our 650 were pretty easy. I always carefully selected a can of spray paint close to the same color (black) and just sprayed over the bad spot, especially on the top side of the loader arms. On trade in the dealer said "good idea and no rust" after 20 some years. Probably do the same with the 2320.
The 650 never let me down once, maintenance done regularly.
But I got ta tell ya, try'in to drink my Folgers while readin' page 2 of this thread while my shoulders are bobbin' up and down.....you know how expensive coffee is today?
Walmartians, tallywhackers and signs that warn ya to keep abreast of....well never mind that!
Imagine if your wife had scratched it first. No need for anger, you can smile and know that the next time it happens that you have already done the inevidable.
Better to get it over with, and by you doing this yourself you have saved the world from your wrath.
All machines need some battle scars, sounds like you didn't do that while watching football on the couch.
