I've about convinced myself to add a ROPS to my 1967 International 424 tractor.

What supplier or manufacturer makes a kit to install a suitable ROPS to this tractor?

Thanks,

I have never seen anyone who has made them.
In fact I would think the engineering and liability would out pace the potential profit.

All it would take is one claim against them and the company could be in bankrupcy

Yes, there are several manufacturers of after-market ROPS for older machines.
There are 3 listed for your tractor (see link below).

I installed one on a 1973 MF years ago; it was a very well-made device, and wasn't ridiculously expensive.

Here is a recent link to ROPS makers based on tractor type:

Very happy with the Saf-T-Cab brand put on my Ford 4000 and another on a Ford 7600.

Wow, that surprises me, I should have done a search before spouting off

I am not familiar with the Farm Bureau in your State of Texas, but NCFB offers this program. Perhaps your Farm Bureau has a similar program? NCFB -

One problem with putting a rops on a a older tractor is the cost. You might as well sell it and get a tractor with a rops, you would farther ahead. Some tractors like the Ford 8n may not be safer with a rops. I have heard that if you put a rops on them on roll it the axle trumpets can break off, which would be the same as no rops.
