Yanmar & ROPS

[Soundguy]

All the ford tractors from the 1939 9n and up have a retrofit available. it is a certified rops and last I checked was available thru your local NH dealer. ( NH doesn't make them.. but buys them from the manufacturer. ).

The model for the 9n, 2n, 8n, NAA, and most hundred series is the same.

Soundguy....does it look like this? I don't recall where I got this picture but it is an aftermarket ROPS........I have a small collection on my other PC but it is in for repairs and this pix just happened to be on the laptop.

It very well could be. The pic I say was from a right side view.. slightly canted to see some of the drivers seat.. but it had those distinct swept back features... I guess to stop the rear rollover very early before much weight would be on the rops.. etc.
