Bolt-On Front Bumper For Deere Riding Mower
Using a length of channel iron and a pair of steel plates I built a bolt-on front bumper for my father's Deere 210 riding mower. The bumper bolts onto each side of the tractor frame and extends ahead of the fiberglass hood, protecting it from damage if the operator drives too close to a building, tree, grain auger, etc. The tractor doesn't come equipped with a front bumper so it's easy to damage the hood, which costs about $140 to replace.
The bumper bolts to existing holes in the tractor's frame.
I won a blue ribbon at the local 4-H county fair for my efforts. (Dale Ellingson, 5341 Reamer Rd., Walker, Iowa 52352 ph 319 438-1300)
