ROPs Help - CK2610

[ODZD]

I’ve made a few posts about getting my fluid and filters changed and received a ton of help, so thank you kind internet strangers.

Well now I’m finally ready to put the tractor to work and unfortunately I have to fold the ROPs down to fit into our garage. I bought it from a gentleman, not a dealer, and he had them folded down already.

Can anyone help this smooth brained city kid on how to properly put them in the upright position for my safety?

If you have pictures of yours up, I’d love to check them out. Seems like I may be missing a bolt on each side?

The bolts and pins have been moved. The bolt goes into the bottom middle hole and the pin holds it up, angled back, or down..

How are you enjoying the machine so far?

Good to see you got some quick help; I was looking at your photos knowing something wasn't right, but it's almost 0100 and I wasn't going out to my tractor to try and compare. Great job @Midniteoyl.

Welcome.

It looks like the previous owner removed the top hoop altogether and just pinned it back on for the sale.

FYI: the angle I have mine at allows me to get into the pole barn with a less than 7.5' height opening. I'm on flat ground so not really a concern to have it all the way up. I don't remove it completely 'cause it keeps me from getting whacked in the head by branches while backing with the bush hog
