Wanted: Grab Bar for 72 JD 400

Post by DLDeere »

I'm looking for the black rear grab bar for a 1972 JD 400. Would like to have nice and straight since it's for a restoration project for our local snowmobile club. Thanks!

Howard, I have a chrome one with some rust off of a 72 500. If you're interested I can take a better look at it. Duane.

Thanks Duane but we want the black painted one to keep it as original restoration as we can.

None of my business, but why not hit the chrome bar with a little 400 grit and paint it black?

Just sayin.

:lol22: No disrespect to Mr Chrome. But if the bar is a bit rusty ( and I haven't seen it ) then clean up and paint might be the cheapest way to make it useable.

Painting the chrome is an option I'll keep in mind. Thanks for the suggestion!

And Todd, quit picking on DA!
