[SEL] gluing plastic OT

[Mark Shulaw]

It depends on who sold the Deere as to how expensive a new hood may 
be.  If its a John Deere Dealer Sold tractor yes its gonna cost. But 
if its a Big Box Store Deere it may be cheaper than you might expect. 
Reason is the Big box store Deeres and Cadets and others are not 
actually a true rep of the name brand. Most are MTD built with 
license from the  Name brands to decorate as such. So the parts are 
less expensive then the name brand on the hood may lead you to think.
  If you are looking for a pretty, hidden, non noticeable repair 
thats gonna be tough. But if cosmetics are not as important as 
function then a metal patch is likely to be the way to go. Thats 
probably what I would do. Paint it green to blend in.          Mark
