Shade canopy on old tractor with jungle gym/pipe loader?

50-something Ford 8N tractor, Wagner jungle gym/pipe loader...I live just outside Phoenix, so the sun gets pretty strong during the summer here. Been thinking about fabricating a canopy for it, but wondering if this going to ultimately make a difficult to mount/unmount tractor into one that's much more difficult to get on/off of?

I've gotten pretty good at climbing over the 3 point even with implements mounted, even looking at it as a positive - keeps me moving and limber, lol. At least in my head, it seems like if I fabricate the vertical support beams to go out wide enough, such as over the rear tires, it _shouldn't_ make it too much more difficult to get through it...but there's been a few times that things make perfect sense in my head and on paper, but end up being collosal failures once put in action, lol.

So figured I'd ask the group...figured at least a few have been down his road before...
 

Would be helpful if you could post a photo of your tractor/loader setup.

Someone here will have a suggestion. And everyone likes looking at tractors.

Get one built that will hinge at the front, and go up and down at the back on a pair of gas cylinders
