I have operated this tractor for 27 years and with the Good Lord's help I hope to operate it for another 27. I began on a C Farmall with the tricycle front and will admit that I sometimes put the C in places I had no business being. Maybe I should be worried about the ROPS itself but am not however I do appreciate your comments. I believe that a great deal of knowledge floats around this site and I was and am looking for opinions tied to working experience. As another poster said this unit is better than nothing which is what I've had for 27 years. I had considered the fired bolts as possibly being weakened and had considered new bolts and would likely have gone with grade 8. A comment above does make me pause and consider if grade 5 would be better. I will certainly try to replace with the grade that was on the original unit.
Thanks for all the comments, sometimes it just helps to have another's thoughts on the problem.
