BX25 Goodies

I have completed the main frame build for my rollbar.
Paint will be applied. This my favorite "Goodie" to date.
Perhaps because I made it.

CLICK HERE to see the build...

That looks great!

Thanx for the compliments CTF! I disassembled the cage today for
the last time and it was washed, primered and coat #1 of paint has
been applied.

On another "front";

I got another item done, I designed and built a Front Receiver Hitch
that sandwiches the push-bar and the frame as well. I
ran the 2" receiver tube as far back as I could and notched
the top of it to clear the OE center axle pivot bolt. This
will increase the survivability if running at full ramming speed
and if I ram something! Plus my winch will not be tearing
this up any time soon I do believe!

Brad, I really like the sandwiched and rear supports. Im just worried it will dig in when rolling down and up threw a ditch for example. I know I have run just my grille gaurd into things with a steep approach. Just a thought?

I have a wedge deal you plug into it to thwart just that...

You could make a plug-in bracket to hold a concrete-filled pipe for ballast.

I really like the rear reciever. Built like a brick poop house. Jery needs to get those up for sale on his site.

Artisan,

Wow, this thread is like a one-man show! Great stuff. High Quality. Ever think you are in the wrong business?

[radioman]

artisan- Good stuff! good ideas. the only thing I am concerned about is the wieght of both grill guard and hitch when trying to remove and reinstall both same time in same holes when you want to remove the side bonnet from tractor. How diffucult was it for you to install both same time. was your hitch sandwiched tight enough that it will hold guard so you can lift both via grill guard when installing?

Can't wait to see it once it's painted!
