After working with my tractor a few times, I realized that I needed to add some protection for the tie rods and weight to the front end. Grill guard is 1/8 thick SS and powder coated. Bumper is 4x4 x 3/4 inch for a little extra weight. Added a D-ring for a tie down point.
Protecting the front end

I have a L3901. I had to move the bumper forward 1 inch as seen in the picture to make sure that the tires didn’t hit it. The total length is 36 inches to allow clearance on the loader arms.

Yea your Ag (R1) tires are much taller than my R4 (industrial) tires, I don't think my tires would touch. On the other hand, your dealer used the tie-rod protector (gray chunk of metal) that so many of the early dealers just left off instead of getting longer bolts to mount the brush guard.
I didn't know mine was missing until after my dealer went out of business.
This will also serve to protect my tie-rods... thanks, again!
