Hello, I build a custom bumper for my jubilee and have got a lot of inquiries... so I thought I would share. Main bumper is 6in x 1/4in c channel, brush gaurd is 2 x 2 x 3/16 angle iron and 2in x 1/4in flate stock. Mounting arms are 3in x 1/4inch c channel. I have 2 7/8 clevis, and a 2inch reciever. There's a 24 inch light bar and 2 flush mount led cubes for ditch lights. I also added a on board farm Jack. It was a fun project. And although not for the purest it allows me to utilize the old girl better with out modifying the origanal tractor. Bumper just bolts on and off,

Nice fabrication skills! With the gas grille mounted in the front receiver, all you need is a wagon on the back for a hay ride/cookout party. How close do the front wheels get to the swept back part of the bumper? A previous owner had a custom bumper made that was on a tractor I bought. I like the swept back ends on yours and that gives me an idea to alter mine.

Nice, when I notch cut the c channel and bent the dog ears I used a 2x4 against the wheel as a stop so there is a 1 1/2 inch clearance. Fitting the bumper took some time. As the tractor sits on my property in northern Michigan,

Of course being it's a Ford it Is
important to have good tow hooks on the
front - so you can tow it home when
needed. Wink

If only nutter JRs Chevy tractor took off. I wonder where they would be today. Lol.
