Pimp my Massey: New GC1723EB

That looks good. If you carried your vertical sides spaced out as you have it only as it goes up if you carried the contour around matching the shape of the hood. The sides could have a soft radius as the hood does curving back . And the top cross piece could be welded on the same plane of the hood. If 3" higher but carrying the angle as the top of the hood.
Pay no attention if you have already cut that will look great. You're making it yours!

You already have that front end shape matched up nice. Pay no attention, I may mess it up for you

Thanks for the tips, R&D in progress. Working with 1/4" x 2-1/2" HR flat. Haven't fab'ed anything in a while, getting into the zone

With 1/4" x 2.5" stock I would build it just like you have it mocked up. Without a brush guard the grill is always the first to go. It just happens. That will also add some front-end weight.
My welding was once good but with shaky hands I've lost my touch.
Its amazing what they pack into these tractors. You'll get a lot of work out of that machine.
For me getting that first scratch will hurt even on the bucket.
I have been following your project.

Nice trailer build

Day 31

Got my notebooks made for my manuals, saved $100.

Piranha tooth bar came it, this thing is a beast in the woods! It's heavy!

Brush guard complete, a few R&D items remain. Here the sequence of it being born:

Brush guard is almost exactly what I had in mind..... Gathering up a few more odds and ends and I going to start fabricating....
