I’m pretty sure the silver/crome one goes in the center on the back of the rear fender. Correct me if I’m wrong. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Methinks the larger one that looks like faux wood is for the headlamp block out plate for tractors without headlamps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,307 #137 Posted January 11 Correct on the decal placement. Bad photos but you get the idea. The front where headlights would go and on the back fender under seat pan. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe leonardo 164 #139 Posted January 11 Ok so I took the dash face off and could you guy tell me if it's been hacked? Also how do I remove the steering wheel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,194 #140 Posted January 11 Push the roll pin out and lift off the wheel. Steering wheel removal is a right of passage with wheel horses. Lots of threads here on various methods....almost always involving blood sweat tears and cursing... To start get a true quality 1/4" roll pin punch 2 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
