Same here. Mine says delivery expected today but it didn't even get into town until this evening. USPS tracking is a joke. Ive received shipments before and the tracking info show that it hadn't even left the original post office. They need to get with UPS and learn how tracking works!

Randy

I'll keep you posted on the progress. Congress will bail them out again like they always do.:bash2: :beatdeadhorse:

I have a LOT of stuff shipped to me via USPS. Yes the tracking leaves a little to be desired, but it always gets here and if you are the one paying for it, it's usually half the price of the other 2. :beer2:

Just opened my box, looks great no damage to the contents whatsoever. The box had a small 3 corner hole in the middle of one of the narrow sides like another box corner hit it but there was only empty space on the inside. Again thank you.

glad your happy thanks again

Got my bumper in the mail yesterday when I got home. Looks GREAT and I can't wait to get it painted up and installed! I haven't decided yet but I may even leave the top bar off, guess well see. Anyway, great job and thank you for making these! I almost wish I had ordered two; one for my 2284 and one for 1864! :biggrin2: :beerchug:

Got mine today. Havnt opened it yet but the box is in great shape! Thanks again.

My 2 bumpers showed up today had a couple small holes in one box but the parts are all good.

Do they meet you expectations Sam? Glad they showed up well Thanks again

They look good but I haven't bolted one up yet. I'll see how they fit tomorrow. Top bar looks like I will need to do some work with the die grinder on it to make it fit before I weld it. No big deal.

Put one of the bumpers on today, had to elongate one of the bolt holes with the die grinder just a bit. Otherwise looks pretty good. I checked both bumpers and both would need to have the hole elongated so I'm not sure if the issue is with this tractor or if it's a problem with the bumpers. The other 2182 won't be out for a few days because I have another Cub on the lift at the moment. Haven't decided if I'm going to weld the upper bar on or not. If I do it will need a little work with the die grinder to fish mouth the ends so that it will fit better.

I got mine welded up today and got it primed. I leaned the top bar out to match the angle of the nose of the tractor. Looks pretty good! Will add some color tomorrow and get I bolted up in a few days.

This is what I had hoped the bumper looked like. This is Cub123's Super. Look at post # 30.

To me the main bumper bar should sit level or in line with the frame. Maybe I'm being to picky.

Sam that does look like its going down hill ill be happy to remake them if you want i like happy customers. let me know im out of town rite now but will be back home before the weekend can make you a new one if you like p.s. i gotta get me one of those lifts

Randy

They are both the same as far as the angle is concerned. They are fine with me, they look like if I hit something the plastic will be saved. This is not a show tractor, it's a worker.

like i said i need one of those lifts you have. i built them on the front of the 1440 i have here i jacked the front end up and put stands under so it looks like its popping a wheelie that might explain the angle thing. i have no problem redoing and shipping you two more if you like. i have since built a jig to make them in as for the bolt holes sorry this 1440 must be tweaked or something. i feel like i need to make this right let me know

Will you please just relax, I'm OK with them. It may be your 1440 or my 2182, who knows. All I care about is not busting the plastic. Figure if I hit something hard enough to get past your bumper and bust the plastic I'll be laying on the hood. Oh yeah that will be busted so I guess I'll be on top of the engine. Thinking about that my guess is I will be in pain. :biggrin2:

laying on the hood makes me giggle i adapted a (cough) john deere blade to my super and it has a neat little latch lock thing on it to lock the blade. rite beside this lock is a sticker that says something to the effect of "only use lock for the slowest grading and plowing" needless to say i ignored this little sticker once (and i mean once) had it locked and managed to find a pine tree root while plowing snow i still have the face print/smudge on the windshield. wife wants to clean it off but i said leave it as its a constant reminder of "HEY STUPID THAT DECAL IS THERE FOR A REASON" im guessing someone else ate glass or the hood either way i learned the hard way.

Got my bumper mounted up today. I like it!!

Looks good in yellow. How did the bolt holes line up on your bumper?

They were about 3/16" too low. I elongated the holes just a bit and it bolted right up.

Sam and BassBlaster: I'll be test fitting my bumper this weekend so I'll let you guys know how it fits on my end :beerchug:

Thanks, I just wondered if the frame on the one that I checked was tweaked. I only had to rework 1 hole. Like I said it was no big deal.

Mine came a couple of days ago, box was in perfect shape. I don't think I can get to it this weekend. I agree yellow looks sharp, think I'm leaning that way.

color
 

I chose yellow also. It looks great, but wont be bolting on until I'm sure we are done with snow. :beerchug:

I'm surprised there are so many going with yellow, I figured there'd be more black bumpers out there, that's what I'm going to do with mine. :beerchug:

im a little upset that they look like they are going downhill kinda. but if you guys are ok im good with it ... yellow does look ok. too bad plugs came in black

No complaints on my end. Im a happy camper!!

Just to report back: I test fitted my bumper to my 2284 tonite and I will have to make one hole elongated to fit properly. Otherwise I'm happy.

Got back to the bumpers today. Had to elongate the same hole on the second bumper. Then I took the die grinder to the upper tubes and fish mouthed them for a better fit to the main bumper tube before welding them. Happy with the results. Cleaned them up and got them painted. Maybe tomorrow I can get them mounted and get a couple pics.

I can't wait to run into something!! Will look much better all scuffed and scratched. :beerchug: Don

Put both of my bumpers on the 2182's today they look good. Painted my bumpers with Rustolieum gloss black. I'll try to get some pics soon.

Pics of the two Big Dogs with the new bumpers.

Got my new bumper today! Really nice work and heavy built. Now yellow,black or chrome?

Please have it chromed so we all can be super envious. Don:beerchug:

I'm a cheap old fart, I had some Rustolium gloss black on the shelf so that's what I used. :biggrin2:

If I get my tractor from shreading belts I'm going to order one and powder coat it.

I am mocking it up on the 1811 just to see how it looks but wouldn't you know i had to set it on a crate because the 1811 frame does not have the nuts welded inside. Just sitting here with a cold beverage I think it looks better in front of the 82 series grill than it does on a Cyclops grill. I will have to order another one for the 1811 now. Then the 1050 is next in line,this could get out of hand!

glad you guys are happy

had a couple guys contact me for a few bumpers so i have spent my friday off bending tube yay me! so if anyone else wants one i can make and ship the weekend after one is ordered
