Some ROPS test photos I came across. I think they were out of a Case player we used at our open houses.

I have the J.I.Case Book and there is some info on this topic. Cool to see some more pictures from the test site!

Brian:

First photo brought back vivid memories; 47 years ago - back in the days BEFORE ROPS & Seat Belts - I took a sharp right turn a little too fast; fortunately on a dry, hard-pack, level surface, and pulled the tractor (not a CASE) up on its two left wheels. Traveled that way for about a hundred yards before I was able to flop it back down on "all fours", - only thing keeping me in the seat was the incredible power of PUCKER FACTOR. After I got it down on all four wheels I had to shut her down & get off because I was litterally shaking like a leaf in a wind storm.

Lesson learned! - The hard way.

They had a video that played in the tent at displays at fairs and the like, of cab testing.
