Very nice craftsmanship! I built one similar for a friends Kubota a few weeks ago. Should have taken pictures of it.

Why don't you take pics of everything you work on??
I try and document most of the work I do.
Gives assurance to new customers.

Wish I'd of started yrs ago.

Ah -yes- looks good - but what was it welded with ? ( !! ) - careful - AK's reading this ! if 6013 even got near it while you were welding the entire thing may just fly apart killing dozens ! - lucky it only looks like a Cat 1 - if it was bigger that may have been hundreds !

Phew - that's a relief ! your golden then ! - only a thought - but capping the vertical box would keep it from filling up with water / mud & add a little strength.

I'd better grind the factory mig welds out, and weld it with 6013.
Got some great 6013 here. ;)
