My opinion is that you should get a "snoopy and the red baron" sheet and install that.

It would look snazzy!!!

Be careful on a windy day, you might get whiplash from the sheet!!

Don't get me wrong.. I've done quite a bit of down and dirty engineering as well.... usually to get out of a pinch, or to get a job done / meet a deadline, etc.. Ocassionally I even go back and retrofit my monstrosities to be more aesthetically pleasing... some stay cobbled up because they work, and like you point out... I just don't care. Kind of like the 6' frankenstein disc I use.. it is an oldoldold ford disc... I have cobbled on it and welded, chained, bolted on it to the extent that it now works good.. but I would be embarrised to loan it out.. etc.

In fact, if i get home early enough, i'll post a pic of it... just don't laugh.. it is a real POS.. ( but it works!... and was free! )

Superb! Having been to places like Saudi Arabia I can say I've seen much more impressive improvising to escape the sun. There you'll see a Bangladeshi strap a matress to the top of his ROPS to keep from getting baked...temp is about 130 F. Try that...you'll make the evening news!

Seriously, I like it and understand it. Recommend a piece of plywood and a can of red paint to finish the project. As a matter of fact I'm thinking of putting one on my Farmtrac 60.

I hear ya'! I have been to the arab desert many times, some of the engineering I have seen over there makes you wonder how they survive very long!

Chet, It looks great and you'll probably keep from contracting a melanoma on the back of your neck.... Nice Job!

BTW, when are you going to build me one??? I'll put a thick piece of painted (say, some kind of polarized color) plexiglass over the top /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.

Thanks for sharing!
