just wondering if when I order an umbrella from Caterpillar if it comes with the stand to mount to your cat? the new cat part number is 187-6649?  with it being really hot this summer and show season coming around. I was thinking about getting one. cat's website doesn't say.

I believe Femco and Snow-co are one and the same as umbrellas go and come with a so called universal mounting kit that is a tube, a couple of rods with adjustments and mounting ends and that is it.  Someone else on the board made a bracket to mount his umbrella by welding a tube on a plate and bolting it to the seat.  That would be the simple way to go.

About 25 years ago I bought a yellow umbrella with "Caterpillar" on it but I don't know where.  My Cat dealer had one displayed in their parts store a few years back and it was a plane Jane snow-co yellow with no logo.

Umbrellas can be found at Tractor Supply, Shoup parts, and other places but I believe they are all without logos. I know Shoup sells replacement canvas for about $40.

Hi All,
I picked this up yesterday after doing some research I found the part number and Cat had it in store, so I brought it.

Wow, that's great!

I'd love to see a pic of how and where you mount it. I'm assuming the short length of tube is a mount with some stabilising ties?

I was common to find a 18 inch piece of pipe standing up on the deck of farm Cats in California. Some very half axx, some real neat bolted on some welded forever. Was not that uncommon to see the J of the pole bolted direct and for the off season the center bolt of umbrella was remove to let the arms and canvas be store away for next summer.

But a long time since I have seen a working tractor with umbrella.

I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
