Description of the pictures will be later. I have to post pictures with cell phone so they're going to be turned every direction. When I get a chance later I'll use the computer to describe the pictures.

I don't know how much of this will help because I haven't had much luck with comfort covers. That's what they're called around here. When I first got the 2510 I bought a Femco custom made version. The frame was pretty good but canvas was no longer available. All that could be bought was vinyl. It ripped out in a couple years. My tractor sits inside when not in use. People bragged Burch Heat Housers were the best so I bought a custom one of those. It was still heavy canvas but the frame was a joke. Nothing came close. I was going to send it back but found out they have a large restocking fee. I used part of the frame from Burch, the Femco I had and had to make some of my own mounts to make it work. The instructions from Burch were nothing more than a piece of paper that looked a 5 year old drew pictures. They then copied it off till their ink quit and sent me the last copy before the ink completely gave out.
The first picture is a bracket that holds the cover away from the brake pedals. It came with the Femco. Burch didn't have anything like that. I guess they let the canvas get caught up in the brakes. You just take a bolt out of the step and put the bracket on and bolt back in.
The third picture is a Femco bracket I leave on year around. It helps support the Burch some but is handy during summer as well. It uses the console bolts so no drilling. A GPS monitor and turn signal remote I made for a hay wagon fit perfectly on it.
The second picture is where the comfort cover frame bolts to. The flat one fit the Femco but has no purpose now. It's out of the way and I haven't got around to taking it off yet. The bracket on the axle is where the Burch bolts to. Didn't know which yours might be like.
The fourth picture is a hole in the platform where the Femco bolted to on the clutch side. I didn't drill that hole it was there when I bought the tractor.
The next picture is how the Burch mounts. As you can tell I had to modify that. Their frame wouldn't hook to anything. I have the bigger steps and I would highly recommend getting some. For a while I just put a board under the original step to extend it. Getting off and on is a lot harder squeezing through the cover.
I also used my umbrella mounts I have to help support the frame.
You will also want to remove your engine shields so more of the heat from the engine running gets funneled up to you. The Femco was pretty good about that but this one doesn't fit tight enough around the tractor that the heat has to many places to bleed off. All this one does is keeps the cold wind off you if you're going the right direction. The door just lifts off or on. I left it off right now. The rest just gets strapped or bungee corded anyplace convenient. To check engine oil you have to unstrap and disassemble part of the cover. Forget checking hydro oil. Also as you can see from the last picture that's your view from the seat. You can't see your front wheels unless you stand up. I have to be very careful feeding cattle because if they're up close to tractor you can't see them. That's just a couple reasons I hate them. I'm sure my descriptions are as clear as mud but I hope it helps. If you like yours I'd be interested in a review and pictures. I might keep an eye out for one like yours. I kept the old vinyl from the Femco and am considering buying a good heavy tarp and a cheap sewing machine from an auction some day. I'll then try my best Martha Stewart impression and make one.
 
Sorry about the way this came out. I had it spaced out some but when I posted it for some reason it all got bunched up into one big paragraph.
 
Thanks for the detailed info. When I first joined the forum I'd expressed interest in outfitting my tractor with something similar. Now I'm glad I didn't.
