John Deere 5065E bumper to brush guard

What sets this apart is the budget DIY angle: Joel walks through fabricating a custom mesh brush guard for a John Deere 5065E using salvaged bed-frame angle iron and bought wire mesh, with no metal brake. It covers bending without proper tools, tack welding, grill repair with bolts replacing torn rivets, and priming. Useful for owners who want a low-cost grill-protection solution they can replicate themselves.

An owner-operator building practical fixes for family farm equipment, so expect a candid, hobbyist-level perspective rather than professional fabrication guidance.
