Lets see everyone's front guard/grill!

[BTackett]

I am going to be adding a front guard/grill with weight and wanting to see ideas or mfg's of some. Just something simple like a downsized Ford 3000 guard and add weights.

Any ideas? I have a 100lb chunk now.

Stock 3203 JD had only the outer frame, I added the expanded metal mesh to protect the lights and added the brackets to hold up to 9 15lb lifting weights, the weights are held on with a 1.25" solid shaft with bearing lock collars to hold it all tight. Works great and only took about an 1 hr or so to do. Excluding paint dry time.

I built two of them. One for a 4110 John Deere and a second for a TC 55DA New Holland. The new Holland guard has fasteners welded into the frame work so a piece of mesh can be added for working in the woods. Those fancy hoods are expensive.

A 6 inch piece of well casing filled with concrete works as a guard and a front weight.
