Hi Harry,
The attached photo may not be quite what you are looking for but may give you some ideas. The tractor was mine and was refurbished for the second time just before it was sold in our sale.
The carrying tube is as far as I can remember 4" square and is welded to a 1/2" plate attached under the front axle. The main weight tube is I think 12" square. It is sealed at one end and has a shutter door at the other. It was filled with scrap bits of steel, anything that would weigh. It was retained in place by a single bolt and would lift off easily. The hitch at the front had a 1" hole and was used mainly for shifting our bale elevator and the occasional trailer. The main tube is probably 3/8" thick and the carrying tube probably 1/4". We made a number of grill guards from 1 1/2"x 1/2" flat strip. The guard in this case was bolted to the tube. I'm pleased? to say that whilst in an accident one of my guards went through the side of a concrete garage without damage to the grille or bonnet (hood). Hope this is of some help.
DavidP, South Wales

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Tractors and Farming - by Dave Gohl. I never thought I'd live to see the day, when I could call myself a farmer. What allows me to say this? Well, when our family moved to our 20 acre site near New Prague, Minnesota, I had one thought in mind. You guessed it, farm it somehow. A little history is in order. In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play ... [Read Article]
