Jd 4720 woods canopy build

Spent a few hours this afternoon working in the front grill guard , put on a grab handle and put the roof panel on to see how it fits and looks. Tomorrow I plan on mounting some tabs for lights, a hanger for my headphones, a place to hang a gun and a chainsaw

You don't let any grass grow under your feet.

[dieselcrawler]

Paint is real progress... Good show!

 

[andy1981]

Paint prep is a pia, the painting is the easy part

 

[dieselcrawler]

^^^^

Agreed. I hate prep, but its the key to good adhesion and a nice finish.

Beautiful work . Maybe drill a few holes in tubing at lower points to let moisture drain .

Now you guy's need one of thees, New U.S. Military Surplus Truck Mirror, Coyote - 592254, Military Truck & Auto Parts at Sportsman's Guide
I can't believe how handy it is, especially on the roads. It will swing back with a big enough limb, but acts like a extra hand keeping the one's that "get in" away from you before the back post catches them. I think I saw them down under $15 in their last mailer. I bought an extra one for the eventual replacement, so far, it's very tough.
I know, it needs paint:laughing: I hate painting!

Waiting on paint to dry, it's torture

Very nice work. Looks like a good strong design.

 

[andy1981]

Well it's together here are some pics

 

[dieselcrawler]

Looks great! Nicely done.

 

[andy1981]

Thanks , I am very happy with how it turned out, took some more time than I thought and I still have to put lights and a gun rack on it.

The winch is great , pulls hard although I had to adjust the clutch from the factory setting as it would slip with a heavy load and had way to much free play . You had to pull the rope what felt like 3 ft befor it would engage, after some adjustment it works a lot better. But overall it is an excellent product

Andy-

Can we get a close-up photo or photos of the connection point at the mid-point. I can see the front at the grill guard and the rear at the ROPS. Just looking for a bit more detail at the mid point.

Thank you for taking the time to share!
