compston_family@hotmail.c 2 #1 Posted Wednesday at 02:39 AM Hello all, I have a somewhat worn 701 which I am having fun getting back into shape. The latest problem to be solved is that at some point the hood was removed without removing the wingnut screw and the tab securing the front of the hood was ripped off and discarded. So does anyone have a picture of this tab so I can fabricate another one? Thank you. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

compston_family@hotmail.c 2 #7 Posted yesterday at 02:05 PM Wow! Thanks guys. Mine isn't rusted at all, and all the pictures give me what I need to fabricate the "tab". I can turn the knob for the 1/4-20 screw to fasten it to the tractor. Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A word about the knurled knobs, especially the one in the front. I have lost at least three of the front knobs from vibrating loose. I solved that problem by placing a lock or star washer under the knob. On the side knobs I use nylon washers to keep from damaging the paint. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

compston_family@hotmail.c 2 #10 Posted 4 hours ago Thank you- I was looking at that, and I wondered if I could cross drill the screw and put in a cotter pin to prevent it from getting away? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
