Roll-over

I've been wondering about putting a rollbar of sorts on my MF 135. Anyone done this?

By law, our tractors are all supposed to have roll-over protection, but then laws were made to be broken......
These are factory made and govt. certified roll bars, some of them hinge down and some of them lift off for going into low sheds.

Not sure what you mean, "by law." As I understand it, when my tractor was made in 1969 there was no requirement for rollover protection, not even seat belts, and when the laws were introduced, all existing tractors were 'grandfathered in.'

There is no law requiring me to have rollover protection on my 44 year old tractor. That said, it's a good idea. So, in your pictures there was a 135 with a rollbar. is this a custom creation or a factory modification?

Check with a tractor salvage. Almost all the MF's in the same HP range have the same axle mounts so a newer rollbar from a 230, 235, 245, etc. would bolt right on. A rollbar from an industrial model should work as well.

Sorry, our laws in Great Britain state we have to fit roll over protection. The roll bars in the pics are all factory made. As stick welding says all these small drum braked masseys are the same axle mounts.
