oh duh!!! i got up yesterday at 445 worked all day and then drove 7 hours round trip for the FEL went to bed a midnite and got up a 6 and worked all day again... im a little punch drunk.paid 700 for the loader im pretty sure i cant build one for that, this one was bought new quite a while ago and never used but sat outside till a year ago when the guy i git it from found it needs a paint job and some hoses but all there very minor mods done to it im very happy

Sign me up for one, too! The 2084 will look great with a front bumper. I need the top tube welded on as well. Shipping to 21043 and I have PayPal. I'll send a PM...

Yes I want one.

have i sent a pm to everyone who wants a bumper? if i missed you please pm me

just need to fit them to my 1440 to make sure they fit and weld on the tab piece with the bolt hole was at it till 10 o clock last nite not sure ill get them out today but monday for sure

Lookin good? Did you get my PP? I have an email from PP saying I sent you money but I havnt received a notification from my bank yet. Just wanna make sure you got paid so I don't miss out!!

well first 10 are dun will ship out monday i believe i have 2 left with top hoops welded on still unspoken for if anyone else want one

Check is in the mail for 2 of them. :biggrin2:

He sure is excited about his new bumper, BUT now I will have to paint and weld the thing and put it on for him, so his bumper is going to cost him way more than the 75 bucks plus shipping, :LMAO1:

hey guys i actually found end caps for the bumpers on ebay just wondering if you guys want them also. if so ill order some but they wont be here till sometime this week if you guys want ill wait to ship bumpers and throw them in same box let me know and ill order them they will cost me like a buck a peice but i think they will finish it off nicely

I'll wait for the caps! Let me know how much more. Don

Mine can wait for the caps too.

I'll also wait for the caps.

Is a version #2 with a taller top bar possible? Our trees are taller in Illinois. :biggrin2:

I'll hold off for the end caps as well on mine.

You can ship mine without caps. I was thinking while Im welding the top bar, I may weld a couple of steel caps on.

how tall you want it? shipping will suck im sure but whatever

just checked on the caps they were in springfield mass last night

If you still have 2 left, I'll take both. Please let me know! I'd prefer to have the top tube welded on by you.

Nice work!!!

David

dave am planning to make up some more this weekend sent you a PM

Sounds great!

had to put a new hydraulic cylinder on the tube bender had to machine a trunion to mount it. last cylinder i mounted temporary just to use the bender but it bent the rod in the cylinder because of too much side pressure this should fix it mounted much better and a larger rod in the cylinder third pic is the machine i made it on

That looks pretty stout!

Looks like you can bend up to around 2"?

i only have dies for 1 1/8 and 1 5/8 rite now usually when we need different sizes the first customers job will pay for them

was surfing over to maplehunters facebook page and came across this pic look at the bumper on the cyclops in the back quite the unit

Mail
 

Got my mail today! Great work on the bumper. I can't wait to get it painted and remove my 451 and mount the bumper. Now.. what color? :bigthink:

glad your happy Don now go hit some trees lol

That's my question. At first I was thinking definitely black, but then remembered that our 3204 uses yellow on the steel front bumper, looks good. Not sure .......

My package got held up so USPS says it isn't coming until tomorrow which works out great since I have the day off. Ill get it welded up and hopefully get some paint on it. Im going with yellow!

Anyone know off hand, what size the bolts are?

bolts included

Awesome. Thanks!

Got my package a few minutes ago haven't had time to open it yet will do this evening. Many thanks Randy.

did the box show up ok worried they were gonna poke thru boxes

yeah im not a fan of their tracking stuff but my wife works at the post office so its kinda like job security i guess

Hard to beat a Gov job. My guess is they will update it after it has been delivered. Worst case is they lost it. If it goes through Roanoke VA all bets are off. They have manage to lose 2 shipments I made last year. Glad I had the insurance for both of them.

if they dont make it let me know ill ship ya some more gotta keep ya happy

The box for mine is in great shape. Our rural delivery gal pulled up the driveway and handed me the box and with a little frown said watch it this box is kinda heavy. I told her it was a front bumper for my tractor and had a rear bumper coming for my pickup. She said she was taking off the day that was to come. I told her I was just kidding about the pickup bumper.

package
 

The package showed up just fine. No pipe poking out! If I lived in Wisconsin I would paint the bumper green. That way my cub would be a packer cub.:beer2:
