[AT] D17 with front fenders

[Al Jones]

My dad took delivery on a >>new!<< JD 7130 last week.  It is our first 
tractor with FWA, and it has big plastic fenders over the front wheels. 
They are designed so that if you change the wheel spacing, you change the 
fender spacing too.  We'll see how they work  out.

I have seen big 2WD tractors, mostly 70's and 80's models, with aftermarket 
front fenders.  To me, they're butt-ugly.  I guess if you were pulling 
wagons on wet roads, they might be nice but they sure spoil the appearance 
of the tractor.
