While you are designing a roll over cage, consider putting fluid in all four tires to lower the center of gravity, then get some insurance policy that also would cover a roll over accident (?). Or if it can be done, widen the rear wheel stance a bit. I am serious, not kidding. I helped design a cab structure years ago for a 80000lb tractor. You don't have to have no bending, just enough strength to prevent collapsing into the operator's zone, however it is a moot point if the operator does not stay in his zone.
Roll over protection or sunshades can cause a roll over on a small tractor if working around trees. Also think of counter balancing if you are using a mounted sickle mower.
I am not a registered engineer and these are suggestions you could ponder yourself, you know how this unit is going to be used and none of us on the board knows that! Leo

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
