It is interesting how much simpler the ROPS for the very similar 187 is. It makes me wonder if the engineers decided they didn't need all those brackets or if they beefed up the transmission case.

Can't get a pic, JD is at a kubota dealer, being repaired, (Go figure). At the rear of the side mounting plates wasa a plate that went across the rear jost above the pto. A JD dealer should have info for mounting, and dimensions.

Dan,

Thanks. Those are good shots. I think in the 3rd picture I am looking at the bar from the inside (the side that attaches to the tractor). I'm not sure what all the other brackets are for but I guess there are mounts for them on the 187.

The picture did answer the question of wether or not I could just weld a 2" square pipe to the plate with 3 holes that mounts on either side of the pto. You can see that is what they did. They must be OK with this set up. I can also see the crossbar just above the PTO are for reinforcement. Very interesting.

I also am one of the few that like the rice/ag? tires full time. I do get occasional printing, and a rut or two when hauling/or blading.... but I love the traction..

Here is an image of a ROPS mount that uses the top 3 point mount to spread the forces. I welded a plate with bolt holes in it to the top 3 point plate. The ROPS will unbolt from the tractor and does not connect to the axle housings. The lower mounts bolt to the side of the differential case. I had to buy some metric bolts ;<( The tractor is a 1500D
