This is what i started with a push bar with the bottom tube crushed and piece of angle iron thats a lot stronger than the tube that i ripped off an old grain silo sitting it the scrap pile.

Next i used the plasma cutter and cut the bottom tube out.

Then i grinded it smooth from what the plasma cutter didnt get and cleaned it all up.

Next i cut the angle iron down to length and cleaned up the edges but couldnt grind in smooth enough or it wouldnt fit right from me cutting it crooked with plasma cutter.

Next i tried fitting it in 2 different ways

First i fit it so it would be flat in the front and on top. Didnt look bad and it would be easier to mount lights that way

Second was to have it so the edge sticked out in the front. Liked it better but harder to mount lights so ill have to make my own brackets cause im doing it this way.

Next is to weld it.

welded it i think for the most part they came out good. Now i just want to put another brace between the 2 brackets for more support and then i got to sand it paint it and mount it.

Now i welded on the bottom brace and the little tabs for mounting the lights. Came out pretty good. I just got to do the paint find some lights off junk tractors and mount it.

I like pics.
What plasma is that.
Good choice on welder.

 

That's a pretty good chunk of angle. What it it, 3" .... 4" ?

Guess that front-loader made it easier to handle!

With it welded in like that are you just going to weld on tabs to mount lights?

 

Thanks guys. Its a harbor freight plasma cutter. Im not sure what the actual brand is though just whatever they sell. I think its like 4 inch angle iron. I got a pile behind the barn bigger than that i wanted to use but dad wouldnt let so i went and scavenged my own. Yes i do have to make by own brackets to mount lights. Got more than enough spare tractor lights around i think a couple on a parts tractor i can take too so no need to buy any

 

looks awsome man! now slap it on your truck and take some pics!
