Covers material choices, fitment challenges, and a minor clearance issue the mod introduced. Short and practical, most useful to B2601 owners who run a grapple and want a quick fabrication idea.
Posted by the HomeSource channel, apparently an owner sharing a hands-on mod from personal experience, with no commercial affiliation evident in the transcript.
Weld three-quarter inch by eight inch bar stock bent to the brush guard profile, then tack expanded metal to it for coverage over the open factory bars.
Yes, the added steel makes the guard tight against the frame, requiring a clamp to spread it slightly so it can be squeezed back onto the tractor.
It is just two horizontal bars with nothing restricting the space between them, offering very little protection for the radiator and battery.
