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

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

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
