So I thought I'd post some pics of a project of a weight bracket and grill guard for my IH 504D. Found a cut up front wt. bracket that I'm going to use as my base and go from there. This tractor runs a 306 Bushog
They make a great support for a heavy built grill guard & bumper. You might want to take advantage of that shape and put a "floor" in the bracket to carry a chain and other goodies in.
Finished narrowing the weight bracket and got it mounted. Pretty happy with it so far. Now to figure out the grille guard attachment that doesn't look like it was hacked together.
