RJJR,
I'm doing a similar project with expanded metal. Thinking of putting it on the outside the brush guard (bucket side). Bought a can of the Chevy Engine Orange but haven't used it yet. Will post pics when I get started....have you started yet?
No, not yet. Tractor was just delivered Friday and I'd been trying to decide on a grapple when I came across some pics where fellows had stuck limbs through the grill during operation. I think I'm going to use the same metal found in the bottom of a pig cooker or something close. Please do post the pics.
thanks
RJJR
