How were umbrellas mounted?

NickatKY · Mar 21, 2013

Just wondering how the dealer umbrellas were mounted.I have not been able to find much info on how the Flambeau Era Case umbrellas with the dealer name on them were mounted.
Do any of you guys remember or have pics of the mounting brackets?
Thanks Nick

I have a vague recollection of the main vertical tube mounted on our SC. I know there were two small angular brace tubes off the larger vertical tube the umbrella slid into. These braces attached to the right side foot plate at 90 degrees from each other I think but I just cannot picture how it all mounted up. Its been a long time, 40-50 years or so, and I really wasn't paying that much attention of how Dad did it either then. John, Loren, Tom, et al...??

Been looking for an hour, I knew I had some paper work, but sorry mine is from 67 two tone. It is pretty interesting . Fender mount or axle mount. Dealer price $12.30 add $1.30 for dealer imprint. Standard buggy top $19.50. Jombo buggy top $21.25

Yes, that is the one we had on our SC. after more pondering I am thinking the vertical tube mounted on the axel housing maybe because when Dad put it on the fenders were not on the tractor.

Good photo Tom.
