I just recently purchased a used 1975 Allis Chalmers 185 Diesel tractor. I was hoping to find a used ROPS for the tractor and was hoping someone could recommend a manufacturer of knew of a used one I could pick up. Any help would be appreciated.

Dave, Thanks for the reply. I am probably wanting the entire package, ROPS and fenders. Most likely I'd have to get a canopy separately unless they came with metal canopies. |

We have the ROPS and canopies available new, patterned after the original solid upwright design. We have nothing for used though. ROPS and canopy available separately. Will be a palletizing fee if cannot pickup in Milwaukee, WI. ------------- www.awtractor.com A&W TRACTOR 920-598-1287 KEEPING ALLIS-CHALMERS IN THE FIELDS THROUGH THE 21ST CENTURY |

| I just purchased a new ROPS for my 185 from IronBull in Indiana. This is the first ROPS for an AC tractor that they have made. I love it. Call me at (740) 817-0137 if you have any questions or want photos, etc. Thanks! |

Iron Bull doesn't make ROPS for A-C tractors. The only place you can get them is General Backhoe Service at 414-651-9017, we get them there, located just outside of Milwaukee. The ROPS & canopy is copied from the original A-C solid steel design, complete with hardware. ------------- www.awtractor.com A&W TRACTOR 920-598-1287 KEEPING ALLIS-CHALMERS IN THE FIELDS THROUGH THE 21ST CENTURY |

Iron Bull makes canopies for all AC tractors. They used mine to copy to original specs. 170/175180/185 and 190/200 and 210/220s. So the guy is correct. ------------- Education doesn't make you smart, it makes you educated. |

| Just received some advertisement from iron bull. They do have the ac roll bars. I don't understand how they can be so expensive and not certified. |

ROPS is rollover protection. More than likely, the product Iron Bull is selling is a canopy support, not certified for rollover and not saying it is. Two completely different items. Would it be helpful in a rollover, very much so. But if your injured, you would have no claim with them. I have 2 200's with Year-A-Round cabs, all glass removed. We use them as utility tractors. Better than a canopy for rollover but it's not "factory". Still keeps the sun from bearing down on you. Occasionally someone here will post an aftermarket cab for sale for a 185. If you're not in a big hurry and just want a roof over your head and spend lots less, it is an option. Good luck.

| You are correct, it is not a certified ROPS; however, after touring the facility at IronBull, I am confident it is very close to being certifiable in my opinion. Anyhow, all I was after is a really nice looking ROPS type of canopy to keep the sun off me. It helps tremendously with that, and it is very well made. I would never sue any company if I rolled over the tractor with or without an approved ROPS system, so I guess I really didn’t care about that. Take care. |
