FRAME RAILS
« on: January 17, 2016, 03:55:11 pm »
I RECIEVED A JOHN DEERE L120, I WANT TO BUILD A CP. THE QUESTION IS ANYONE BOXING THE RAILS OR JUST USING 1" OR 3/4" SQUARE TUBE? ANY THOUGHTS ON PROS AND CONS.

I did not box my L130. I made removable braces that have worked flawless, rock solid no flexing.
