I have a 5020 with some small holes in the sheet metal where the seams meet on the hood and fenders. The largest hole is about the size of a dime. Would JB Weld work to fix these holes. If not, what should I use or how should I fix them. I want to restore it to its original beauty this winter and want to know the best way to make that happen. Thanks,

Thanks for the ideas guys, I was looking at the easy route instead of the proper way. I do want this to last and look good so I will try my best to make it happen. I have all winter... Merry Christmas

If you don't have the ultimate shop setup and re thinking about getting a welder for the tractor sheetmetal, I would recommend considering getting a budget 90 amp flux core welder. A little practice and you are on your way. It is god for other small repairs also. However I take my important welding to a shop, so the little one was the ticket for me on the JD sheet metal.

Everyone will say nay on the flux core making a lot more spatter than the MIG, but if doing body work that stuff is history when you get on the area with the gringind wheel.

Have fun and a good holiday

Install Metal Patches ,then grind down and smooth and the Holes will be a thing of the past. "Bondo",JB, are all just a Patch Job. Besides you may increase your Mechanical/Metal Working Skills. Access to a Torch or MIG Welder.Body Hammer and Tin Snips are all that is needed for this simple fix. Practice first I recommend.Metal Shrink and Expansion Control comes with practice.
