MF150 without ROPS canopy or umbrella

[crowbar032]

I still use my MF150 in the hayfield. It gets really hot and would be nice to have a canopy like I have on my JD5065 with ROPS. Being an antique, the MF150 doesn't have ROPS to mount a canopy. I've been looking at other options, but I can't see any pictures of how they attach. There is also the issue of the toolbox on the left fender to work around. Does anyone have an umbrella or canopy on their 100 series? Should also be similar on even the TO Ferguson series and the N series Fords. Links to the canopies I'm referring to. I would really appreciate pictures.

I also put this in the antique Massey forum.

Those canvas canopies are pretty nice, better than nothing. There are aftermarket ROPS systems out there, I'm not so sure if a 200 series tractor wouldn't use the same ROPS. At one time I think there were AG grants/programs that would cost share with you on adding them to tractors without them.

I found a set of plans for a MF135 ROPS from some government agency. I don't possess the welding skills and didn't bother trying to find a custom shop. This tractor is used in a hayfield so I'm not sure it's worth the effort to put a ROPS on it anyway.
