BX25 Full Cage Rollbar

[NHmitch]

Thats got to be very frustrating, I would try TSC if you have one near you. I believe that Valspar has Kubota Grey, and if they still have it in stock, you should be able to get it. They may even have it in a gallon, if you have a sprayer. I also found a few on ebay that you may want to look at:

I also found this article on Kubota paint that has the part number. They have pretty good information on this site:

Agent Blue, indeed ballasting down low would be smart and I
think I eluded to it in prior posts. I have a few thoughts, a good
heavy skid pan, maybe attached to the MMM lowering arms,
so maybe I can hinge it and lower it to replace my trans filter
would be good. Or some bars. I have another thread where I am
looking at receivers front and rear, great spots to hang weights.
That rear cross bar is heavy, maybe 22lbs, I "may" lighten it w/ a whole bunch
of .625 holes...I dunno...we shall see.

Here is the skid plate you need.

Thats a great idea, and should help lower your center of gravity a bit as well. I am going to have to look at having one made for my tractor, thanks!

VIOLA! Ask and ye shall receive! Great minds think alike ehh? Very nice LeeJohn,
good job! So am I right here, you can unlock the front pins and then
Lower the MMM mount w/ controls? You gotta do a YouTube!
Do you have an IPHONE? Easy to do w/ an IPHONE. Very cool!

Thanx for posting the pics. I didn't see this till this morning.

I have another thread going, on second thought I probably should have
keep it here regarding my Enclosure / Cage? that I am building.
Seems a couple children wish me to fail, HERE.

I will move it back into this thread.

I decided to anchor the cage to the rear ROPS w/o welding or drilling anything.
In this picture I show where the anchor will go. The anchor is 3" x 3" square
tube. I radius cut the ends and box welded them up as well. The 2 UBOLTS
you see will be replaced and 6-8 .5" Diameter X 6" long pro-UBOLTS, fine threads,
tall nuts, extra thick washers will be used.

Here is the rear anchor. PS = Passenger Side - DS = Drivers Side - Up is up.
It is a lil confusing because it is in the vise kittywamphus.

I wanted more than just a butt weld of the round tube to the anchor so I came up w/ this;

And this is a rough sketch to try to get my rear anchor posistioning across.

I am going w/ my inner slug idea, it will substancially increase
shear strength. Additionally a gusset will add a LOT of volumn
to the unit. Were good here.

I own three welders but were going to hire a professional to
weld it all up. You will remark at the weld quality when it is done.
Greg Sexton of Sexton welding in Ontario, Ca is an insanly good,
off the chain GREAT welder. You shall see.
Parts ready to go to welder;

That looks like a very good plan, you did a nice job fabricating the bracket! Did you find the paint that you need for it? Are you going to leave the canopy in place, and built around it? Anyways, its looks like you have a good design, and good auto cad drawings to represent the project!
