The video follows the full process: removing the factory guard, measuring and cutting the expanded metal (roughly 17x18 inches), bending and clamping it to shape, grinding paint for a clean weld, MIG tack-welding, then priming and painting. Best for B-series Kubota owners comfortable with basic metalwork who want a practical, low-cost branch-protection mod.
Posted by the Nova Scotia Dave channel, an owner-operator who mentions helping a family member with the mod, not a dealer or commercial entity.
Remove the factory guard, measure and cut expanded metal to about 17x18 inches, bend and clamp it to shape, grind paint off, then MIG tack-weld it in place before priming and painting.
Grinding paint off the edge removes material that could interfere with the welding process, leaving bare metal for a cleaner weld.
The piece used was roughly 17 by 18 inches, measured and cut to fit the front of the tractor.
