Well after some sipherin, I chopped off the rear bars. Will be able to shorten the bottom bars some. Tacked in some supports and plate that the spool will mount to.
The mounting tabs that came with the JD's garage spool are too short for how I'm mounting it on a flat surface. I made 2 new brackets 1-1/2" taller and set the spool in place. Tomorrow I hope to check everything for level and tack it in place.
Ok so I was able to get out in the garage today for a little bit. Bent up a rear bar and got the top joint mostly fitted. A little more tweaking and it'll be ready to tack in.
Was able to get out in the garage for a few minutes. I was able to finish cutting and tack in the driver side rear bar. Spool sitting in there not tacked in.
