Rear Wings

Post by MajorMagnus »

I will have to get new rear wings for my Power Major restoration. Does anyone know if the quality of Agriline's wings are OK, or should I look elsewhere?

I bought mine a couple of months ago from www.vintagetractorespares.co.uk - perfect fit, all the holes lined up, I've heard some of them don't line up.

Hi Magnus, without bashing any vendor and not giving them the opportunity to defend themselves….. I had purchased a set of fenders from a vendor, they looked good when I took them out of the box, nice heavy gauge steel, and only requiring minor body work to get them to look like factory originals. That is until I bolted them on, Thank God I test fitted before I painted them. The fender mount holes were completely off requiring new holes to be drilled and worst was the fact that both fenders were tilted in drastically. I had to cut the bottoms of the brackets loose and then reweld them to get the fenders to stand straight. Needless to say I was a little disapointed.
I would suggest inquiring to the vendor before purchasing regardless of where you get them.

Thanks guys!

I will probably order new ones from the UK and freight cost will probably set me back nearly as much as the wings themselves, so I want to be sure I get good ones :D

My new wings came from Agriline- quality was good and generally pretty pleased with them, however I did have to slot the mounting bracket to allow them to sit in the correct place and line up with the footplates. Vertically they were fine.

Thanks Andy!
I'll probably end up ordering a lot of things from Agriline and it's easier to buy from one source when freight cost is an issue.

Hi Magnus, On the whole, Agriline are pretty good and I've bought plenty off of them in the past- always helpful and speedy delivery.
