The challenge with ROPS on old tractors is that the connection between the ROPS and rear axle housing is the weak point. The axle casting itself can break if the tractor flips on its back, allowing the engine and front end to crush the driver. This is one reason why ROPS are not currently available for the Farmall H line of tractors: the axle is the weak link.

Commercial ROPS are tested to destruction using sacrificial tractors for this reason. No one I know has that kind of money to do that on your own.
