Finally purchased a 305 loader for my JD 3032E. Should have my tractor back from the dealer ready to use on Wednesday. Also, I was able to purchase a used JD factory fiberglass canopy from my dealer. It's in pretty good shape. I gave $100.00 for it......I thought it was a good deal. I have a question about the canopy...does anyone know where I can purchase the plastic edge trim that protects the fiberglass edge? I have found a few sites that sell rubber and plastic edging but it is pretty costly.....any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you can't get the edging from the dealer; then I suggest McMaster-Carr www.mcmaster.com

They won't be the cheapest; but I'd bet they'll have what you want.

Hiya,

Could always do what we did, get some vacuum or small rubber fuel line, split it down one side, open it up and glue it on with silicone sealer. Cost about a buck a foot and lasts about 3 or 4 years before it peels away and you have to glue it back down.

Autozone and Orielly Auto Parts sells it for about $10.

ditto on the blak fuel hose. I've built some metal boxes and used fuel line as a rubber edge.

makes good grommets inmetal for wires to pass thru as well.
