I believe that John can build a seat from scratch as he had made several 340S seats.

Doesn't that redneck from TX have repo hoods?

Hi Guys,

Lee does the 340/s hood and pans, and owns the molds and products.
If you want a Liquidator hood or a 340/s tool box, those are my products, and you need to order them through me even though Lee is my supplier.

I am working with an excellent supplier in MN for a quote on reproducing the orginal "ABS" style 340/s hood. This guy does all the work for Arctic Restorations, and I should be getting a quote soon for an all new mold.

Lee's 340/s hood is an excellect reproduction of the Deere 2nd gen glass hood for the 340/s, but the original ABS units fit better. I used an NOS Deere glass hood on my 340/s resto, and the fit is less than desirable to the point that I am going to replace the hood with a new one. "IF" all goes well, I hope to pick up the first order of new hoods when I come out for Hay Days.

Lee's pans are an excellent reproduction of the factory glass pan that looks and fits as well as the original ABS pan. But, if you don't have the original narrow bumper, trimming is required, and you might have to re-work the updated Cycone bumper Deere used with the trimmed Cyclone pan.

I hope this helps,
-Joe Rainville
