Finally put on the canopy!

That looks REALLY great. One whole *&^% of a lot less expensive than my Kubota canopy.

Here are some updated pictures of the easy on /off mounts. The brackets of the canopy just slide into the larger tube. I siliconed a piece of 1 x 2 x 1/4 inch thick rubber to the inside of the larger tube. That took care of any vibration or rattles. When the canopy is off, the mounts will double as hand tool holders.

LS MT 125 Owner That looks out standing! Can I ask where you got the canopy brackets for the top? I think I can come up with a top....just curious where those brackets from?

The square tube, square u-bolts, and 90 degree brackets, and nuts/ bolts all came from Tractor Supply. The bent square tubes (mounting the top) were from a golf cart repair place. That is where I actually got the canopy.... it is an EZ-Go top.

Slicker than snot on a doorknob. You definitely have some skills. Looks great.

I like the OP's thought processes. Saw the golf cart top and immediately knew how to make it work on his tractor. Good show.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. My kids always jokingly called me “ MacGuyver “. They would say give Dad a box of stuff and he will make something out of it!

Only thing that has been added were some small rubber squares on the inside of the larger square mounting tubes. At certain engine rpms, there was a rattle... I cannot stand rattles or squeaks. And, just to hold it firmly in the tubes, I cross drilled and put a removable pin through each side. I had envisioned hitting a big bump and the whole canopy jumping off!:shocked:

Are we not going to address the level of organization of this man’s shop tools? I’m mesmerized

Oh, the canopy looks awesome by the way!

Looks great!

Is there any concern of safety in a roll over situation?
