I acquired a 1953 Super A with 1000 loader over the weekend. Something had fallen on the hood and flattened it.
Since I already had the hood off to reinstall the air cleaner, I decided to try and straighten the hood. It was like working with tin foil, and I had the hood looking and fitting pretty darned good in no time. If all body work were that easy...
What bothers me is how easy it was. The hoods on my Super H and Cubs are very difficult to work with. No matter how hard you bend, pry, twist, or bang, they fight you every step of the way. Makes you wonder how they got dented in the first place...

While I'm at it, the throttle adjustment seems to be off. The throttle lever will go past the rear of the quadrant, and only go about 3/4 of the way up it. On the bottom end, it will shut the tractor off. Do I adjust the link between the lever and the governor, or the governor and the carb?
That 1000 loader is the coolest piece of farm equipment I have ever used in my life. Even beats out Dad's dump trailer. If only I had a 44" materials bucket for it instead of the 30" manure tines.
