After finishing up the two post canopy, I started fabricating the front bumper/grill guard for my Case tractor which will haul the new wood trailer that I built earlier this winter.
Main frame of the nose guard is fabed from 6" channel. Today I formed one of the two radius bends in 2x2x.188 steal tubing to protect the nose of my tractor. I cut multiple cuts 1/2" apart in the 2" tubing to create the 90d bend. Welded in the all the joints to form a smooth radius bend. One more to go for the other side. The grill guard will bolt to the 6" channel main frame, and also to the cultivator frame within the nose of the tractor. The main frame also has a chain pocket with a 1" draw pin hole. The 1" ID pipe served as my gig to weld up the pocket straight.
Last two pics is of the grill guard that I fabed for my 430 that I am copying and a front view of my 831C that the guard is going to be installed on.
