Does a ROPS for a Super A exist?

Claven2 · Aug 3, 2015

Anyone know if there are ROPS add-on kits for Super A's?

An open cab (basically covered 4-post ROPS) was offered from the factory for the Farmall 140 which is essentially a Farmall Super A with different sheetmetal for this purpose.

Anything can be fabricated.

Great, so something does exist that can be fitted or easily adapted to fit.

I'm having a hard time finding a picture though. Anyone got one so I know what to look for?

I doubt it, you will likely have to make your own or modify an existing ROPS. Demand for a ROPS for a 60-70 year old 15hp tractor is just not there.

Remember that you should add a seat with a seat belt in conjunction with a ROPS.

Good grief. That thing would make an A even harder to get on. It's like a trapeze act as it is!

I once owned a 4 post canopy that came with a 140 that I acquired in the 1980s. I still own that tractor, but sold the canopy with the Super A
that the 140 replaced. I think the canopy was factory, but looked different than the one in the link below. The canopy bolted to the outside of
the final drives on the drawbar attachment points that are threaded all the way through the final drive housings. I don't recall it making it
anymore difficult to mount the tractor. I sold the canopy because it made the tractor too tall to go in my shed that had a 7 ft high door. Wish I
had never sold it, as it would be an unusual item to display. I don't recall ever seeing another one. The tractor that it came on was originally
the grounds tractor at a local hospital. It was used in the winter to clear the parking lots and the canopy had a beacon light, a wind shield and
even a wind shield wiper!

Thanks for that, now if only they could be found for reasonable $$
