Another Style Grille Guard

[grnspot110]

Finished my grille guard for the 790 yesterday! My steel supplier sold me a couple of scrap pieces of flattened mesh for $5, one piece was big enough for the grille guard. After cutting to size, I bent the sides back, welded on an 1/8" x 3/4" angle on the top, 1/2" angle on the back edges, & an 1/8" x 3/4" strap along the bottom as a stiffener. The bottom fits into a channel on the chain box, a long 3/8" pin through the top pipe on the factory guard holds the top in place, easy off.

Next project is a 2' x 4' receiver hitch cargo rack for the 3-pt adapter! ~~ grnspot110

Very nice job!!

Nice work.

The few times I've mishandled the loader I've always dropped stuff on top of the hood. So you might want to take the guard further back.

Nice job! I prefer flattened mesh over raised myself. Good find on the material.
