 Topic: 180 Factory Canopy
Posted: 17 Aug 2011 at 11:58am |
This may be a total long shot... I would really like to get my dad a canopy for his 180. We live in central Wisconsin and he has retired from dairy farming but we still grain farm. His 180 is the first tractor he bought when he started farming. And he is super proud of it (as he should be - I have seen few nicer that have been used this much).
Anyone know where one may be sitting for sale?
Thanks - Alex

the operator manual has instructions of where to cut the holes in the fenders for the rops to pass thru.

you can put spacers between the fenders and the fender brackets, sandwiching the ROPS post and keep the fenders the way they are. However, you loose the narrowest wheel setting.

I assumed a canopy was used with ROPS, and cloth material was a sun shade only

I would really like to find a ROPS with the steel canopy. Fenders would be nice too - or at least a pattern of the cut out.

I'll look in my manuals and see if I can find the drawing for the fender cut-out.

Here is a link with a 185 for sale. Indeed they have cut-out fenders. Isn't it possible that these fenders and canopy are for available on junk-yards?

The original ROPS and canopies were few and far between, I don't think it will be an easy find. In the 70's when AC started offering them, farmers were more likely to spend the extra money for a cab rather than a ROPS and canopy. The same was true for all brands. There was a big push to retrofit older tractors with ROPS in the 90's. You can buy new ROPS for old John Deeres and Fords but because AC is gone nothing is available but used. Aftermarket mfgs shy away from building these because of the limited market and the liability. The only thing I've found aftermarket was a full rollcage and it would cost about what the tractor was worth. It's to bad, I've seen a D19 that was fitted with what looked like a factory ROPS and canopy that was probably for a 180 - 185. I'd love to have a ROPS on my series IV D17 and one for a 170 - 175 would more than likely fit. Before anyone asks, ROPS = Rollover Protective Structure or in other words a rollbar.

I wish I was closer to the one in KY on Fastline. Measurements and drawings would be nice to have!
