Bumpers!

[gemutlich]

Poking around CL and such looking for miscellaneous accessories for this '58 641 of ours, more especially a front bumper, I've seen all sorts of variations and wanting to learn more about them I started saving the images, figuring I'd put 'em up here after searching for a "bumper thread" and not finding one.

So here we go. Pictures, though not of all that I've seen. Wondering if anyone can weigh in and identify some of these, and whether they're Ford or if they're aftermarket or even homebuilt.

Some of them may be duplicates, was getting kinda bleary-eyed when I was saving them.

Let's see what y'all have, and help me figure out what I should be looking for!

Unless you're doing a restoration, I'd be looking at the pictures, then heading to the barn to check my steel supplies, fire up the welder, and make something that works.

I built a grill guard and roll cage to suite my needs...

Dang, 'Crawler, that's some good looking work. Reminds me of a friend of ours up at Forest Road welding in NH, that guy makes nearly everything he needs.

One day I'll be able to do that, if I can ever get the heck out of CT...

Here's a couple more pics:

Never had a bumper. My tractors have always had loaders on them. Grill guards behind the loader, yes.
