If you want to open your Hood without tilting the Brushguard forward, loosen the 4 bolts ( don't remove ) that hold it on, ( the nuts are welded to the frame ) Then take 1 out at a time & insert 3 nice thick washers between the guard and frame and tighten. The existing bolts are plenty long enough for 3 washers. I can now open Hood w/o tilting guard. I don't know why they didn't engineer it this way, there is all kinds of room there. The loader doesn't even come close to the guard? :confused3:
