Ls G3038h
Got a golf cart top and some steel tubing for less than $100 and welded up a top for my G3038H and it fits in a regular single car garage. The way I welded the frame
makes the top come on and off and the rops pulls back and have about 1 inch clearance to get in my garage. added a hyd. top link and gives me the same travel
with a box blade both directions. just did the 50 hour service, found a few loose bolts, but went pretty easy. Got a quick release from harbor freight and spent a day
going over their welds and adding some supports and put 1 1/2" steel bushings on grade 5 bolts so there is no slop in the lower arms. did the 1 1/2" bushings on my
bush hog, box blade and landscape rake. all pick up very easy and quick and no slop at all . took quite a bit of custom fitting but was worth it.

Nice job on the Golf card lid. Two tool boxes that just isn't fair!

Yep, nice job. Around here, any permanent modifications (welding, holes) to a ROPS makes it very hard to trade or sell. They figure a new ROPS replacement into the cost most times.

The mirrors are very stable. Very nice when grading a road

What paint did you use? Seems to match the LS blue very well?

Found it. Thanks! About how much was the gallon you bought at SW?

It is industrial quality and was about $100 per gallon, but if
you can set up an account with them it saves about 50%. It has not
rubbed off the bush hog or boxblade and you know what they go through.
It is much better than I expected.
