I hope the driver came out in better shape. The Rops looks good, which is encouraging.

According to the lister, Junkman has the hood.
I'm still trying to figure out how he got a hold of it. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I am going to guess that the exhaust pipe standing straight up was added on afterwards...

What stupid idiot would drill his ROP's when a nice weld job would work so much easier? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The picture showing a half missing ROPS has been cropped. Just look at the first picture in the description. The cropping left off the top of the exhaust and the top of the ROPS. If you look closely, you can see the entire ROPS in the reflection in the tach/hour meter picture. I will wager that the ROPS did just what is was supposed to.

As for drilling into the ROPS, just another old wives tale. But that's a topic for another discussion. Oh, Oh, here comes the ROPS police. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It is called "road kill".... if it is the road, the Junkman will get ti every time. I will put up an auction for it after the tractor sells..... if it sells..
