Dmacleo, I didn't have a welder and was under the pressure of limited time. I just needed it to hold a few things while I cleared a 1/4 acre of land. Yep, it looks wonky, but it worked fine and is still on the tractor.
It held my hat, a bottle of water, socket, hammer, and a strap. I made a Homemade saw-haul on the side and it has saved me a lot of steps. I can see over it and reach it from the ground. (Tractor's cup holder sux)
I will go back later and make a real one that is U-shaped to give me a little more clearance and use U clamps to hold it in place.
