Does anyone know of any flat top fenders with dual front and rear lights (2 front, 2 rear) that will fit a 7100 with minimal fabricobling? I am just starting a "rusto-mod" on a 94 that spent its life with a salt spinner on the back, and am looking for something a little different/ more utilitarian than the factory fenders. *note, I am an intermediate metal worker so I'm not scared to dive in*

Giving you some ideas would help if you posted a couple pictures of what you're starting with.

Welcome to the forum, by the way!

Hope this helps. It was the most affordable option (that I could afford at least) but its a 560 hour machine, and the cab is in fair condition.

Looks like you have it washed off as good as it's going to get. I'd get a gallon of this, put it in a spritz sprayer and spray anything not orange, top/bottom/all around, anything with rust. After the ospho sets for a couple of days you will be able to easily determine what you need to cut out and replace.


It kind of looks like the ROPS may have some rust all the way through in one spot. If so, I'd remove it and find another one. Don't trust it to protect you, besides it'll be easier to work on the other parts while it's off.

Although the ROPS appears to be badly rotted, after needle scaling and pressure washing, it appears to be pretty solid, i havent found any holes or anything. But time will tell. Fortunately for me, my property is pretty flat, with nothing more that a 3-5 degree slope for about 60 feet along the road.

That will save you some money. The ospho will seal off the rust and allow you to paint right over it if you choose. You might need to give is a couple of coats to make sure you get it all!!

I'll check it out. I kind of have it in my head that I want the lighted fenders.

That will buff right out!!!

There are Kubota models with rectangular lights in front, but I don’t recall what the are. There is a member 007KUBOTAGUY that may be able to sell you older model fenders to start from. Send him a PM (private message) and ask.
