If you have a sheet metal brake, you could make one out of 16 ga.

Welcome to the forums.

It is very likely there are many of the survivors running without guards. It was not uncommon for such guards on implements to get removed when there was a problem and thrown aside. Building one is likely your quickest way to have a guard.

Thank you for your comment. I don't have a sheet metal brake. With the multiple angles in the guard and not having dimensions other than eyeballing and trial and error, I thought would see what's out there first.

Thank you, yes, may have to but building one with basic sheet metal bending equipment because bit challenging to make it look right and fit right.

I have a 503 and could get some dimensions and pictures for you if necessary. Let me know if you can't find one and I'll see what I can do. I think my guard is still on there.

Well, thank you very much! I have both an Owner's Manual and Parts Manual for a 503, so have a fairly good pic of the guard but the dimensions are of course not provided. I'll attach a pic to this thread of the guard as it appears in my parts book and if you want to go to the trouble, you could print the pic I send, add the dimensions, take a pic and attach it back in this thread.

Thank you very much!!

Here is the pic of the guard. It is item #8, pretty much center of the page.

Mock it up in cardboard. Cheap and easy to modify. Take mock up to sheet metal shop to get it bent up. Heating and air-conditioning shops used to have sheet metal brakes to form ducts. They might gladly do the bending for some cash.
