Looks like a genuine Cat canopy to me Dan, if you still have it and don't want it, I would be happy to help clean up your yard by taking it. I am not far away, Corryong.
That tractor also has split Idlers, not many split Idlers have survived. The tractor looks a lot more tidy than mine.
Regards, Wombat
Thanks Wombat
The canopy is long gone now mate it was that badly broken welded and patched I cut it up and put it in the scrap 🤦♂️not knowing what it was.
Another question would have it had timber slats on top ? Because I do remember there being bolts still through the angle iron up there.
I have since restored the machine and would love to build another canopy the same.

If it was constructed the same as the cab on my Sixty, it would have been timber (slats) overlaid with canvas. It would have been curved, the boards tapered to all fit neatly together.
Which side of Wagga are you on?

Cheers mate
I’m out at Coolamon. I would love see some pictures of your sixty.
Send me a email and I will give you my number I would like to have a yarn to you about your canopy.

Doesn’t look like Cat factory built here in the States , but might be Aussie built add on.

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. 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."
