Cover for a 620

My father, who is mechanically reclined, purchased a 620 JD and has had it completely restored. Jokingly I suggested that he get a cover for it to protect against bird poop. He has now seriously decided that it is a good idea. Can anyone direct me to a place that would sell such a thing? He is willing to have one custom made if necessary.

Brian,

If your Dad enjoyed restoring his 620, odds are he'd enjoy putting together his own cover. Besides, when you say things like "custom made" -- the price usually escalates dramatically.

We've got 60 to 70 barn swallows -which is great- except when they bomb the tractor seats. Got 9x12 (green, no less) tarps for around 9 bucks each. They have grommets ever 2 or 3 feet, and already had a bunch of bungee cords around. There's enough to cover from the seat back to the front of the hood. Plenty on the sides. Not a custom fit - why spend a lot on something that'll be covered with bird droppings in a week or two. But with scissors and more grommets you can customize to taste. The swallows don't dive bomb -- just "death from above", so just worried about the tops of things. Works great. If you want custom, I'd try a boat supply place -- lots of 12 and 14 foot boats, basically the same dimensions as a 620 row crop.

As an aside, despite the poop, I can't recommend barn swallows enough. They are just great! They follow the tractors everywhere in the fields -- swooping and diving as you kick up bugs. I've got my own personal air show whenever I go out. Cuban 8's, Immelmanns, hammerhead stalls, Split S's; they know enough to teach at Top Gun school. When you add the bats in the loft, we've got 24/7 protection from mosquitoes (no west nile panic here) and other flying insert vermin. Seven broods of split tail aerobats have fledged so far this year, and we have another group coming along nicely now. I'll endure the poop and mess with tarps any day so long as those guys stay around.

I believe I have seen covers for JD two-cylinders advertised before. It might have been in Green Magazine, so you may try there. I believe that JD used to offer a water-proof paper tractor cover, so maybe somebody has one of those in NOS or something. If all else fails, an upholstery shop or tent and awning place should be able to make a nice cover. Heck, a three dollar plastic tarp from the local hardware store is certainly better than nothing and would be easy to clean, easily and cheaply replaceable and possibly easier to remove and install than a fitted cover. My two cents.

Think you're right, G-Man; jogged my memory. I can't find the ad but have seen something like that. I do find a Ford 8N custom cover that goes for 200 bucks. Wow...
