Wire Protection for Moss Road

   / Wire Protection for Moss Road #11  
I was thinking more along the lines of bending a 1/2" I.D. pipe to match the curve of the ROPS tub and tacking it to the ROPS with a MIG welder. I really need the armored route for the wires.

I ended up drilling a hole in the ropes (between bolts at connecting point) and up the center and another hole on top to the lights.

I remember that. I would do the same thing, however, as you may recall, I welded a square tube under my canopy to hang my lights from (I didn't want bolt heads protruding though the canopy)I want to mount several switches in a box up under the canopy that will require several wires running back down to the tractor. I don't want to make that big of a hole in the ROPS tube.

I tried a variety of different things (protective coverings) but they never stayed in place or got ripped out due to my blackberry and branches issue.

Here is the solution I came up with - a plastic wire cover channel I found at Lowes. I glued and screwed it onto my ROPS because I didn't want any large holes in the ROPS, but I can still open both pieces to insert more wires if I need to. I don't know if it would stand up to what you guys run your PT's into, but it has worked for me in brush even before I had the windshield. Obviously the windshield even protects it more.

Sorry about that 1st picture, thought I had rotated it. Here is the rotated view.
