Am currently in the process of building
my own. Cost is about $75 in materials for
each. I'll finish the JD400 Backhoe ROPS this weekend (flu willing).. Then have a MF 165 and 245 to do. At any rate, here's what I'm using for the MF.. Verticals - 2 x 4 Rectangular Tubing with .250 wall. Mounting plates - 1/2" bolted to top of
axle, sandwiched underneath fender mounts using
existing bolts. Top Cross Piece - 2x4 Tubing as above Extention - toward the front over operator's head 2 X 2 X .180 wall tubing. Will be tall enough to stand up on the floorboards and run the tractor
standing up. Could even make a roof to keep the

heavy 132 "Mill" chain that would form dandy
hinges for same. Perhaps I'll ponder that.... If I can borrow my buddy's digital camera, I'll
take some pictures of the projects and post same. bbott
