Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and spent some time researching this before posting.
I have a John Deere 1130 with some crooked fenders that I would like to straighten before I fill up the minor dents and start painting. I'm having some trouble assessing if I would be capable of fixing these benders as I am new to the field of bodywork (I'm handy, have some basic tools and a workspace, but no experience on tractors or cars). I'm afraid I might make things worse if I just start whacking the metal.
As the metal is quite thick, I was thinking of a hammer and dolly method. I have tried bending it, but that only works on smaller spots.
How would you proceed? What would be the easiest way for me as a rookie?
