This will be a posting on how I repair the plastic dash on the MF12g, I did a similar repair on a MF14. I purchased the tractor a few weeks ago and plan on getting it running and use it before a full restoration.
The dash piece is in real bad shape on the bottom where it bolts to the tractor. All 4 of the bolt holes were broken off.
The first thing I did was try to clean it up the best I could. I will clean it again with thinner before I apply the primer. I then took my die ginder with a round scotch Brite pad and cleaned up the areas I plan on using panel bond.
The next step is get a smooth piece of plywood and apply wax paper and then clamp the dash down. This time I used a ratchet strap doubled around and pulled tight.
The panel bond will not stick to the wax paper so I can use it to fill in the missing parts.
I ordered the panel bond, once it arrives I will post more.
