little knobs on bx rops - what are they for?

[J0be269]

I hope those little knobs aren't all that important. Mine didn't even come with them when I bought the tractor new. I did substitute with a stainless steel socket head cap screw though. As I never plan to fold my ROPS and it make the ride quieter that way.

I have no knobs on my B620 but I have two nuts welded on where I could place a few bolts. I actualy wondered what they were for until now.

My Rops were rattling upright so I put 3 layers of electrical Rubber tape on the arms and pushed them back up and pinned to stop the rattle.

It will wear out but has worked so far. Next I will go for small pieces of intertube.

This was just my fix on a new piece of equipment.

Actually, One rops mid bracket is weleded off center from the other one. It has kind of a tilt to it like it wasn't leveled when welded.

But since you all say the rattledit probably wouldn't make a differnce how it was welded.
