Homebrew Grill Guard

I used angle iron and perferated metal ( not expanded.. perf metal is about 1/16 thick and has holes in it.. kinda like strainer material ).. for a NH 1920.. worked nice..

Ron,
Ah, the run-out...good tip 'cause I ALWAYS screw up there! In my case I'd have to make the tractor shorter...Ha! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

In your case, definitely go with the big "R"!

I made this one from 1" square tubing and angle iron. It does keep the brush away from the grill screen.

This is the one I made for my MF 1240 just before painting. I used 1/4 x 2" and drew up the dimensioned layout on my computer, thats the sheet next to the new grill.

I just made one from 3" channel. The heavy stuff, 6# if I recall. It goes above the headlights (and above the hood), then has an opening for the lights. The bumper is also 3" channel. I don't have a FEL so the bumper keeps the junk off the axle a bit. While at the scrap yard they had a 4' piece of 4" channel. For added weight I welded the 4" over the 3". You can only tell there are 2 from the sides or back. Not as pretty as a curved piece if flat metal and pipe but it'll work ok I hope. I'll post a pic tomorrow, all my pics are at eh office.
