I was wondering if there is a universal sunshade, for the b and bx"s I would like to see how it works on a bx 24 if you want to use the backhoe, do they make them with work lights built it? thanks for the pics JOHNTHOMAS

Very happy with my SunGuard sun shade...Price is right. Decent quality, Nice size for the B and BX series. Easy mounts. and can be removed in 1-2 minutes by a single person. or romove 2 bolys angle it and fold the rops 1/2 way down. Working on making wick clips/bolts for faster angling and removal as well as light mounts...The free lettering is a nice touch too

For the enquirer concerning hard canopy for Kubota.

I think you have the brackets on all wrong. The brackets should be mounted to the vertical sides of the ROPS. I see you have 4 U-bolts in the parts picture. And the slots if you mounted it that way would allow easy adjustment of the angle.

I think you are right, I looked at the pics several times and looks to me like the part of the bracket clamped to the top of the ROPs should be clamped to the side of the rops. The bracket that he has on the left looks like it needs to be clamped to the right outside of the ROPs with two of the U bolts and the one on the right side now goes to the left. Then the top would bolt to the two angles similar to the way he has the angles attached now. I think printed directions with pics would be helpful.

May be like an arm chair quarterback guys or the guys in the Pentagon emailing orders to the field. It ain't all on paper or in pictures.

The 4 ubolts threw me to but there's only one way the brackets fit on the attached pieces on the canopy/top. Then there's only one way the brackets can attach to tractor and that's on the top of the rollbar. The brackets are of a universal type and have some adjustable slots to move brackets in or out for different tractors and that's what I figure the 2 extra ubolts are for, Suspect you've looked at the other post concerning canopies that have the brackets attached to the upright part of rollbar but mine is a different brand. As you can see on the bigger tractors for sell on the owner/buyer section. They almost all hook across the top as did the one installed by my dealer on my L3240 and as did this one on my tractor installed by me.
