The Tuul Crib 7,339 #1 Posted November 30, 2019 Found these caps off the two charger tens that I just picked up. Wish they were in a little better shape but they are 50 years old! They will fit the patina finish on the build anyway! 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if you could take the one that's in better shape to someone who does 3d printing? They could replicate something like that easily, and probably for pretty cheap.

That's not a bad idea but unfortunately I don't know anyone that has a 3-D printer that can do this certainly there is someone on the Square here that can't do it or know someone that can .I'm thinking about cleaning them off extremely well and then get some plastic paint. Red of course! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red of course! Paint the insides of the cap too. Protecting 100% of the plastic from the elements will make them last much, much longer! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 7,887 #6 Posted December 1, 2019 There are 3d printers available for under $1,000. We got one in our engineering office about a year before I retired. Interesting machines, but they do have limitations. They are not plug and play computer accessories, however. Lots of variables to tweak to get consistently good prints.

GlenPettit (one of our vendors here on RedSquare) makes high quality reproduction hub covers that might work for you, depending on what your plan is for this tractor. The logos on his are a good bit larger than the originals, and they aren't what I would call cheap, but they are very nice. He also makes much less expensive plain hub covers that you could use if you wanted to keep your originals off and safe. And personally I would also recommend his upper spindle covers, very reasonably priced, and they help a lot in keeping dust and dirt out of the spindles. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
