Sorry my friend, I took no pics. It's a Westendorf (Iowa company). I'll take some pics tomorrow.

I got the bottom mounting points fitted and tacked





These are the source of the screen/mesh panels



Takes about 30 seconds to collapse or set up

I spent today repurposing a wagon running gear from a sileage wagon.

If it helps, I've done a couple of hay wagon rebuilds with threads and pics on this site. Easy search.

Got some gussets welded in at the lower mounting points. Oversized to allow lights to be mounted to them.



Welding is done, cleaned up and ready for paint tomorrow.

Despite having to go to my father-in-law's today to work up about 200 lbs of hog meat (cut/wrap, he has cooler/meat house), I still got some paint on...

Got it mounted to the tractor today. Seems the lower mounts 'pulled' a little during final welding, took force to get them to line up. But its on there!
