Re: Hood Guard?ead Guard
i would deffinatly go for the bellypan/ skid plates the farm i useto work at and still do occasionaly we did a lot of tree line removal we added our own to our 580 case backhoe loader and they saved a lot of hyd lines and other stuff they were made by tacking some channels to the frame rails with holes drilled in them they then welded nuts on the back side of the holes (you woulndt be able to hold them when putting the plates on) then cut some plates and drill holes in them and bolt em up i wish i had some pics for you also another thing worth considering is putting a sort of screen like you have on the roof on the back of the rops we had that on the dozer and it was nice didnt notice it either the way that was attached was it was a frame that was inside of the rops that like clamped on again i wish i could get some pics for you
another neat thing was we put duals on the rear it helps alot and was very easy
we got some old combine rims that were the correct size and then we found 1 band that fit and had another one made and bolted them on
if you have any questions i will try to answer to my best ability
