I am restoring my John Deere 2510. I also have a John Deere ROPS and canopy that is getting restored as well and will be going on the 2510. Can someone share with me how the foam pad was installed underneath the canopy from the factory? Was it simply stuck up against the underside, and forms over top the two cross member member supports that stick up an inch or so? I was thinking of making a flat plate with a formed flange on four sides, putting the pad on that, and fastening to the plate to the cross members so the pad would look nice and flat. But I prefer to put the pad on how it would have come from the factory. Any help or pics would be greatly appreciated.

The underside of the roof was sprayed with some type of glue and the pad was then stuck on. I have removed the remains of a few with a hi-pressure washer. Tom
Also, check John Deere parts. I see two isolator strips and
several bolts and screws.
I have often wondered how effective the JD solution was
against noise and vibration. You may want to ask that
question on here.
I hope to try a product called HushMat at some point.

Just to chime in paul. A lot of cars have stuff like that if you want to dig around in the junk yard. There are very heavy felt pads under carpets in the higher end cars. Also if you look along the side pannels in the bodys you find what almost looks like a very thick black roofing paper squishy pads that are glued in. With some patients you can peal them out. An easy way to find them is tapping on the pannels of the vehicle. It will sound dull instead of a metal can. If you can drop the noise DB level just a little it can really make a difference. Sponge ear plugs are the easiest!!!!

I wonder if a rubber horse stall mat could be glued on for sound deadening purposes?

I have thought about doing something like that to our JD 4600, I put a canopy on out of 11 ga steel and it makes it noisier, I wear hearing
protection almost all the time.

Too heavy. Dense foam works best, ?-1", "rubber glue" aerosol cemented per directions on the can. Yes it helps immensely. Ever wonder how much
sound is reflected by your canopy, just get out of the seat, stick your head out from under it and listen!

I'm sure it had some type of adhesive to help hold it up there. While your restoring, most folks don't know that JD also provided a rubber floor mat for the 20 series tractors. I've only seen one in my time and it was on a 4020. It's possible that it was aftermarket but I don't think it was.

I am not sure the purpose of the foam was to reduce noise. Ever jump on a tractor with a roll guard in the fall or early spring with a heavy dew outside? It will give you a very cold shower of water that collects on the underside of the metal roof. It is not just a few drops but enough to really make you wet. The padding is an insulation that prevents that. Tom
Glad I could help. What a lot of people don't understand is tractors, trucks, vehicles in general.....most of the loud noises are very LOW frequency. Those heavy thick pads keep things from vibrating. Sympathetic harmonics and metal flexing like a speaker diaphragm. Even though that mat is expensive it might just be your best bet. Especially the roof of a cab that is a GIANT speaker diaphram. Those thick felt pads if you put them in the side walls and screw pegboard over to cover and protect it. One more...ask your local HVAC guy where the joint is that makes the duct work for your home. They have some pretty awsum black very thick surfaced fiberglass sound mat they use to quiet the vents. Some very carefull fitting and some well spent time will yeald you rich rewards. Here is a video of a guy who usually does a pretty good job. Look around on Utube about sound proofing a truck or even a diesel truck. Beleave it or not even the HOOD of your tractor makes a lot of noise. Good luck!
