i welded these up the other day and painted em today. what do you guys think? the welds are a little sloppy, but the paint covers it up a little. the tractor is a john deere 50. these are my first set of homemade wheelie bars.

Around here just about anything goes....which is not always safe, but seems to be the way it is.

I see a few things that I would do differently next time; the top bar is connected via a peice of strap and a bolt, and the bottom bar is tied to the braw bar. Ideally, you want the draw bar and wheelie bars separate in case one fails the other will not(hopefully). The problem with the strap is that it will bend much more easily than the tubing. So, if you came up at an angle for some reason you could potentially bend the bar. As mentioned before, tying them together would also help with strength.

However, if you have tested them with a jack one at a time, they should probably be safe.

It looks as if you have them bolted to the drawbar frame. Most clubs will not allow that.

Slow, for the most part they look ok. But I am bothered by the top member of the bars. This should not have the joint and bolt in them. This area could possibly fold on you as it appears to be a stress point. The upper member should be tied together or be one piece, in my estimation. They may work fine the way they are, but this two-pieced feature scares me. Mike

Looks good, but, your pads should be a little bigger. The reason is to keep them from digging in on a soft track. Easy fix though. Remember, its your life that might be saved. Be safe.
