While looking at pictures and actual tractors of various d series tractors I have noticed something. They almost always have the back of the fenders dented in. Was there a particular piece of equipment that did this or did they all just belong to bad drivers that backed into things?

My series IV D17 has dents because the 3pt arm cranks hits them.

That must be why the crank handle on mine has been repaired.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT BENDS THEM UP ON THE D SERIES , BUT IN MY COUNTRY THE WC'S WD'S & WD 45'S HAVE CRUNCHED FENDER REARS FROM THE FAMOUS FENDER BENDERS. LOOSE TIRE CHAINS. REALLY HARD ON FENDERS.

Snap coupler latches will do it as well if the locking bolt is on the wrong side of lift arm.

Michigan is the same as Minnesota as far as lose chains ruining the fenders. That would be my guess.

Hay rakes LOVE to take a quick ride 'up the tire'... but getting anything else wrapped up in the wheels, junk snagged in tire chains, etc., will wind up biting the fenders.

turning to sharp with a drag harrow will bend the fenders quick. JCinPA

We used to put about 4FT of chain between the tractor and the drag Harrow. This gave ya a fraction of a second more reaction time before nasty things happen. JCinPA

Damage could be caused by mud build up with wheels set it all the way. In the picture you see the main damage is even with the top of the cleats.But usually it's caused by operator error, backing into something or improper hitching to equipment. Lots of WC, WD & 45's have the same type of damage. Other bands often have fender damage except for IH & Deere's that usually didn't have them. Another thing to remember, fenders are there to protect the operator so they got the damage not the guy in the seat.

John, that is not bad damage. That can be fixed easily. I've seen much worse.
