I actually has a pretty decent gaurd around it.Only the bottom half of it is installed in the pic.See the plate around the pinion?That is where the rear if the gaurd mounts.Kinda hard to make out in the pic.It is made out of 3/16 plate steel.Think it could come thru there?I am admittedly broke and don't want to spend more than I HAVE to,but I only have one set of feet ,too.
Budget dictates alot,but I don't cut corners on safety AT ALL.That is why I am asking for suggestions on this.And thanks everyone.
