TD's John Deere 210 R - "Help I Shrunk my John Deere 210"!

definitely do the fender

Yup, definitely do the rear fender man.

i like how the fenders sit now, it looks like you have some trimming to do. i like it alot cleans it up lol!

I like how the rear end sits (giggity) but it definitely needs the foot pans lowered, even'd, and hole thing shortened

Definitely requires a little bodywork massaging- but I love the way it's going.

Yea, but not by alot. Since I might put a "fake" mower deck below those again.

Indeed i do need to trim it, good we all agree on fenders then cheers

So how I see it, I can do it two ways, (rearfender massaging) - a difficult way, and an easy way.
Either cut the front of the fenders so I keep the front part and weld it back on further back.

The difficult way:

The easy way:

Also need to shorten it about 2-5" in the back (to get the fender to hug the wheels). - and also drop the footboards like red was mentioning, cut and weld in a piece 2-3".

No sense taking the easy way out when you've come THIS far! It'll look better in the end, anyway.

That's true. - Lotta work tho lol

Should look pretty cool when it's done. It does make it a pain to shorten up those fenders with all the different angles like that. Not sure what I would do there.

Ya Im still working on it (in my head how to start on it). Maybe just brace it across with some angle iron, then let the angle grinder rip through it.
But I think Ill need to brace it before i cut it.

The K&N adapter fitted nicely, tho it still need to be drilled for the Vacuum Hoses and so on.

aaaaaAHH, out of welding gas for the MIG! - and the bottle is not approved to re-fill here! Mad

Major set back, - Solution Idea

, maybe get fluxcore wire for it.
If not I will have to be TiG'ing it all, and I don't want that.

And I dont think Im gonna need to lower the footboards, like you can see from this picture. (they will get even lower when I cut it). So that's a good thing.

I wish I could fit on something like that lol

I didn't build it to fit, lol

lol I will build one to fit eventually

Uhuu I cut it! - I Don't think I'll cut and tweak the rear of the fender at this time, but maybe I'll level out the footboards.
Hopefully the needed sprocket from BMI will arrive so I can bolt on the Peerless 700.
