Replaced a larger piece of the rear of the fender and fit it to the truck. Fits great. No before picture but it was flatten out completely and brazed. Need to weld in a piece for the torn fender bolthole and redrill. Then one more crack in the rear of the fender.



Tab for fender bracket welded in but needs trimming, made it over sized.


What was cutout...

Last piece to fix on the fender that was brazed. Old fender is no help here... it should be a fairly simple patch to make, although it has some compound curvature to it.



No patch here...


Considering the old fender condition and that I'm not a professional metal guy, I am happy in how its going.

It fits. Running board will need some serious hammering.

Running boards close to getting paint after straightening out a couple small dents. Needs a couple more hrs with a dolly still.

Nice work. My first "old" Ford was a 39 half ton, so this brings back some fond memories. Thanks for all the photos.

Is this what you are referring to? Ford 1937 trans, narrowed Ford banjo rear, and 16" 40 wheels, mechanical rear Ford brakes. It's called a Shaw Du-All made in Galesburg, Ks. I bought this at the Iola swap meet this July and should have it running tomorrow with a recent ebay purchased AEN Wisconsin engine.

I've seen those and they are nice. The one my dad built had a 50s pumpkin out back. Might be what Bruce was talking about though. Great lawn tractor. It'd be cool to have a loader on the front to haul hit miss and flatheads around.

Thanks Lindsay.

Starting to bolt some things on now. Ended up painting the cab one more time so all the color matches. Lots and lots of sanding.
