Thought I'd share this here as well. My dad asked me to help him weld up a skid plate for his 1529 massey and this is what we came up with.

Nice, looks like it will do a nice job.

Thank you. It needs to warm up so we can paint it massey gray. Once painted it really won't even be to noticeable which is nice.

What gauge / thickness of steel did you use for the skidplate? I like your design!

We bought a 4'x8' sheet of 3/8". I have a little over half of it left over to build a pan for my kubota now. It was expensive but we didn't want to use rusty old metal on such a new tractor. It was really fairly simple for the massey and was a fun project. The kubota will be a little more in depth but I'll be sure to post it on here as well.
