The video walks through the full build: cardboard templating, measuring and marking bends, cutting slots, drilling and slotting mounting holes to fix fit problems, and final installation under the tractor. Ends with a coat of paint and a look at the finished result. Best for hands-on owners comfortable with basic metalwork who want a DIY protection solution.

The oil filter had a dent in it from something hitting it, and a tube going to the hydrostat hangs lower than everything else and needed protection.
A cardboard template was made first, then cut and bent around the filters, with slots cut for tabs and a slotted hole added after a hole did not line up as the arm swung down.
No, the builder says it is not for rock crawling, just to keep branches and debris from poking into the area underneath.
