Ronny68 Posted July 28, 2024 Posted July 28, 2024 (edited) What is the difference between an early and a late brushguard & Mufflerguard? Can anyone post photo's if so? That would help a lot. Thanks. Edited July 28, 2024 by Ronny68 Quote
Patrick Tipton Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 The M29C is slanted - the T24 and early M29 is what you have - I call it straight across. I don't have a great picture...but you can see the M29C version below. They are distinctly different when you compare them. 2 Quote
Patrick Tipton Posted July 31, 2024 Posted July 31, 2024 I missed the brush guard question. The M29C brush guard design is modified so the cross bars don't block the mounted spotlight. The earlier T24/M29 used the moveable spotlight so the design is different. M29C - sorry for poor picture 1 Quote
Ronny68 Posted July 31, 2024 Author Posted July 31, 2024 (edited) they kinda cut out 1 bar......for the M29C by the looks of it. Thanks P! Edited July 31, 2024 by Ronny68 1 Quote
Patrick Tipton Posted July 31, 2024 Posted July 31, 2024 Yes, and they also moved the vertical "jog" over a bit! Most people would never notice the difference, but if we are trying to get them right, we might as well! 1 Quote
Patrick Tipton Posted July 31, 2024 Posted July 31, 2024 On the driver side of the brush guard, the top bar moves from right to left (facing the Weasel) on a horizontal plane, bends 90 degrees and travels up for a few inches, then bends another 90 degrees to continue horizontally to the left corner. I would call those two bends a little "jog"....and this term gets used in metalworking....particularly where you are trying to create a flat, overlapping seam. One side is "jogged" ...which allows the two pieces to remain on the same plane, with a small overlap that could be spot welded for example. 1 Quote
Reamer Posted November 4, 2024 Posted November 4, 2024 What size stock is the guard made of? "band iron" for the frame and round stock for the bars? what are the dimensions? Thanks Quote
