Rear Screen 1100

[oldhat]

Well I finished building the rear screen. Had to weld pieces of the tubing together to get two long enough for the top and bottom. Also pieced the screen together to make it wide enough. All made from stainless. Made the bushings at the top from piece of Delrin I found. All made from scrap stainless I found at the local recycler.

Don't I hate it when new members make us look bad...

Just kidding. Looks GREAT! Can't speak for KS, but where I live, if you don't cap those pipes, the bees will move in.

That rear screen looks great and the rain cap too.It looks like the screen can be lifted up -is that to provide clearance for the bed to raise? Nice job oldhat. bordercollie

edit: Bczoom down here the dirt daubers will build every where.They even build in our air nozzles every other day. They about ruined my plasma cutter with those nest remnants. collie

Thank you bczoom and bordercollie. You are right, up here the mud dobbers will love the holes. The bed clear's the screen. It raises up to make cleaning the rear window easy.
By the way, the rain cap is from a farmall H.

Great job and it looks stock. Maybe kubota should pay more attention to the ingenuity of us good ol boys, and offer some more goodies for our small cadies.:myopinion

Thank you all for the complements. I am retired and on disability so I have time to tinker. Can't get things acomplished as fast as before. I can spend more time hunting my coffee cup or a tool I just had than working on a project. I get along just fine, have a super great wife, great kids and grand kids, oh also a good dog. What more could a man ask for.

..... oldhat,
You are blessed. And may I add, it's great that you mention the family
PLUS the good dog !!!

Your machine looks good. Love you professional fabrication !!!! The high rise is a big hit !!!!
Like zoom said, ya'll new members are makin' us older "oranges" look
a little on the ruff side.

.... bordercollie mentioned the dirt daubers. They are nightmares. Build there little clogging dirt cocoons in anything. Stop up sprayers, fire extinguster hoses, vent lines, air intakes on much equipment. Even had our local fire cheif's motorcycle's fuel tank collasped on him the other day. Dirt daubers built on the end of a vent line to the fuel tank. After a few miles of riding, bike engine started missing and quit, he looked down and seen the tank was "sucked in " on the top and both sides. He could have died right there. Ruined the tank on that machine. Less than 1700 miles. They will damage much !!!!
