PN for 2400H brush guard?

[TXCOMT]

Just put a deposit down for one of these tractors and noticed there's no brush guard like you see in some of the company pics...my salesman doesn't know the PN, so I wondered if anyone here might be able to help? I'd fab one myself but I don't know how to weld...yet!

Thanks,

Can't help you with the PN but it's definitely a good and easy project for beginners. Do some welds on test pieces to practice till you feel ready to weld the brush guard.

You may be able to find it on this parts lookup: Branson Tractor Parts | TYM Parts Dealers

Great comments, guys...yeah, it does sound like a nice "first" project, huh, ptsg? Of course, everyone will wonder why my nice tractor has such a crappy bunch of scrap metal on the front of it! I'll just tell 'em it didn't start out that way, but who cares, it's a brush guard! Thanks for the link, e!

BTW, if anyone else is looking, I found the PN...it's M5625-13111 [GRILLE GUARD ASSY].

However, since it's $377, I've decided I'll remove the guard that came with the tractor (which is similar to what the above but without crossbars) and have a local shop weld some tubes across the uprights. A little red rattlecan treatment and I should be GTG!

Ended up having a local guy weld the bars and another powder coat it...what do y’all think? Lil’ Red looks mostly complete; up next, a homemade canopy!

Looks great! Probably a nice cost savings too. What year is the tractor? I'm a bit surprised it didn't have a brush guard from the factory.

Thanks! Yep, the horizontal tubes cost me $20 and the powder coating was $75...much cheaper than buying the Branson part at nearly $400! Plus, I like the contrast of the black finish against the red.

Oh and it’s a 2017 I bought used at the former Big Red’s in Granbury, Texas.

That's a good start. However - to really protect your grill, radiator & battery you now need to do something like this.
