On my old Case and Cub tractors the steering wheels have lost their shine and black rubs off on my hands when I drive them. This doesn't bother me much but is there any product or method to refurbish the old plastic?

I'll have to agree with the spray paint solution. I had the black hands syndrome about 5 years ago. A few coats of black spray paint have been working fine ever since. Looks a lot better, too.

Our Farmall B did that when I first got it running again after sitting. After 2-3 handwashings it just stopped. It was only oxidation and just needed to wear off. A little buffing might help along with weather protection (if that is an issue).

Sanded mine and painted with gloss Krylon black 4 years ago. Its just starting to wear a bit in a few spots. Another sanding and coat of paint and will last another 4 years. You can also have them refurbished by Minn-Kota if they're really cracked. www.minnkotarepair.com They will strip and redo the whole wheel for around $70.

I have had very good results using the paint they sell for plastic patio furniture, Xylon or something like that, just sand and spray.

try filling cracks w/ 2 part epoxy sanding smooth and paint. Or just fill w/ epoxy, sand and install old style steering wheel cover its a good look and easier on hands while operating the tractor. They have replacement S.W.on this site. I may be strange but I like to keep my tractor as origional as possible. I put the cover on our TO-20 its real comfortable and doesnot allow transfer of heat or cold also minumises slippage while sterring. Regards John

You know, i've tried a lot of things over the years, I'm recommending that you replace the steering wheel if you have excessive cracks.

I have tried sanding it with 600 grit paper then buffing to a shine with a buffer wheel and a little bit of armor-all rubber protector/shine, (works sort of well)

I have also tried to buff it out and just put linseed oil on it or laquer. It works for a while, but chips.

I honestly don't know of a real "fix"
