 Topic: OT - Anti-Hood Rub Material
Posted: 01 Apr 2012 at 4:07pm |
|
Getting the hood, gas tank, front grill and other items painted on my Farmall Super C. The hood sits directly on the tank and front grill, which eventually rubs the paint off. I've seen other tractors that use a woven material between the metal surfaces to prevent this, but the parts book I have shows nothing. Anybody found something that works well? If so, how do you hold it in place?

Try some of the webbing strap that is usually 1 inch wide. Like that on a tie-down strap. We've done that before and glued with molding adhesive.

Any narrow nylon webbing works, use a hole punch or make one from tubing and heat it to burn thru/seal the webbing where you want a hole, then rivet or set with a screw to hold it

Go to any decent fabric store and they will have a dozen different products to choose from. I have used the nylon strap from a rachet strap before and it works pretty well, a dab of silicone caulk will hold it in place.

Think we got that 1" stuff from TSC, but I can't remember now. Seems like it was a horse lead flat rope or something like that?? Worked good anyways.

the material should NOT absorb water. Cotton, nylon and wick material and foam weather strip, wiil absorb water and cause rust. I think the fire hose idea would work. I used rubber on my G gas tank when I mounted it. Bob

Hey Chalmersbob, that's a good thought. But then why did Allis use it?

Never thought of the water absorbtion, because the oem strips will absorb water. But, that bein said, I use innertube material on about all these now. It works great. And you get a bunch of the strips from one tube so its cheap and easily available.

Since somone mentioned it, it remids me about the innertube method. I have some salvage tractors like that out there. Most have rust where the rubber sat. I'm guessing that the fabric breaths while the rubber traps the water and stays wet much longer. But you have lots of options out there. And yes, a good fabric store will have the same webbing we sell. Ask for "belting". I've had much better results over the years with the natural (undyed) than the others. JimD

I knew you weren't, I just hadn't thought about it until you mentioned it. Of course rearly do I find something from the 30's that still has the webbing either!
