: : : : : : : : : : I am fixing up (vs. Restoring) a Farmall A. I need to do something with the steering wheel. I do see I could buy a replacement for about $70.00. I am wondering if there is a cheaper way. Thanks : : : : : : : : : : : : Use "bondo" or "JB Weld" (duct tape in a tube), after shaping and sanding, paint it black. :-) : : : : : Farmer: Are you serious about the JB Weld? I'd thought of trying that on what's left of the wheel on my F14. I'm considering making a wood mold pattern. Have you actually done this, and if so, do you have any tips? : : : : : Paul. : : : : I have not used it on an actual steering wheel but plan to, have used it on everything else but the sheep (might make hoof repairs), am very confident it will be 10 times better than black tape. : : : : "Bondo" by the way makes excellant cracked floor repairs (have done it). Another material of a thousand uses is "Shoe Goo" designed to build up worn running shoes (makes good tire repairs too). : : : : Good luck. :-) : : : Right...Thanks, I'll let you know how I make out. : : : Paul : : I found that if you get the cracks in the steering wheel filled in with bondo or JB weld; then sand it down lightly. Then I went to Wal-mart and purchased a spray can of undercoating which when dries is a nice smooth coating and will not rub off on your hands after it dries. It makes the wheel look like new again. : Well, in my case, there'll be a heck of a lot more JB Weld than anything else. I have about 75% of the rim left, but the spokes and the hub are completely gone. Thanks for the hint, I'll give it a whirl here in a day or six. : Paul.
