What would be the chances of finding a pair of these items?
 
I may have a chance to buy a complete tractor with the fenders missing.

Thats why I asked for a picture, but I can't make compound curves, flat curves I can make.

Dave !!  I had  a nice set  like you  want  on a cat 15 orchard, it  has  been a few  years ago   they were  made in California.  
  I remember a  brass tag with manufacturer  name.                               To  bad they went  with crawler.  I can ask around this part of  the  world for  a  set  for you.      Tony

Tony, what about Dean? He does a heck of a job on hoods, I bet he could make up a set if he had a set he could borrow? Glenn

Dave, when I built the model of the M that Lonnie posted (thanks Lonnie!!) I took measurements off a real machine.  To make the radius I used 1/4 inch soft copper tubing and bent it into the shape of the fender.  Then I quartered it the long way which gave me the two top sections (left and right) for the radius.  Then I soldered flat brass sheet for the top and side of the fenders.  The toughest part was making the opposite side to match!!  Maybe a similar approach would work for making a real set if you could find a thin wall 4 inch conduit or pipe that could be bent to the correct shape.  Then cut it and shape and weld sheet metal to the top and sides.
Sounds like a real task but I bet it could be done.      HTH   Armand

This was my first thought exactly!  It would be a ton of work though.

Armand, do you still have your notes/measurements from the real machine?
