Make Your Own Tractor Canopy

Make Your Own Tractor Canopy TRACTORS Cabs 30-4-35 If you're looking for a low-cost canopy to provide shade on your tractor, you might want to consider building your own, says Rex Gogerty of Hubbard, Iowa. He made one for his 1990 Case IH 250 tractor. Canopy measures 4 1/2 ft. long by 3 1/2 ft. wide and is supported on back by the tractor's roll guard, and on front by a pair of angle iron braces. The roof is made from plywood covered by screwed-on sheet metal. The sides are made from wooden 1 by 6's. The roof bolts to the roll guard using existing bolt holes. The angle iron braces are bolted to the tractor frame, in front of the dash. "My total cost wasn't more than $60," says Gogerty. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Rex Gogerty, 33475 K.
