It's a casual, DIY-flavored watch best suited to owners curious whether a bent brush guard is worth saving rather than replacing.
HF Outdoors is a family hobby-farm channel featuring the owner and family members, so the perspective is that of a self-described rookie tractor owner sharing a hands-on fix with a neighbor, not a mechanic or dealer.
Yes, the owner thought it was beyond repair at first but found it salvageable using a vise, porta power, cutting, and rewelding over two days.
They used a vise and a porta power with I-beam pieces as a press frame, massaging the metal a piece at a time to straighten it.
The owner rotated the guard down to open the hood, forgot to lock it, and dropped the loader bucket on it, bending it badly.
