Read articles →This video follows the full fabrication of a custom grill guard for a John Deere 3032E, from measuring the tractor's front end with calipers and CAD design in Autodesk, through laser cutting, bending, welding, and expanded-metal infill, to a proper powder-coat prep (degreaser, phosphate etch, 400°F bake) and final installation. It goes deep into the build process rather than tractor operation, so it's most useful to DIYers interested in metalworking or fabricating their own front guard.
The video appears to come from a hobbyist shop channel where the host and a fabricator collaborator build custom parts, suggesting a hands-on DIY perspective rather than a dealership or manufacturer source.
Use 24-inch and 6-inch calipers plus an SPI angle finder, check offset from the flat line, and find bolt center-to-center distance using the caliper radius method.
Degrease and wash the metal, then do a phosphate etch bath to remove oils and dust and give the surface microscopic texture so the powder coat sticks, then dry and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
The builder filled the headlight cutouts with expanded metal to give the grill guard more depth so it would not look too flat.
