D 69u new to me and going back to work

Hi Dan,
looks good 😊 That canopy looks to be an original Cat style - wasn't aware they made them in D6 size - it'd look really good with new wood and canvas. There was a thread or two on here about folks restoring the canopy back to like-new status. I'd like one for my ag D2.
Cheers,
Neil

The ag canopies do look nice and offer decent sun and rain protection but remember they will not give much protection for falling trees and none for rollover protection. Not sure what the fence line clearing consists of, but something to keep in mind.

Neil, I purchased a ag canopy for a 9U and seen a few more for the D6s all on the left coast. Must have been more popular there.

Do those canopy's have a small extension off the front? It looks like the side timber goes forward on one side-other side rotted off?

They have a short overhang on both the front and matching on the back.

Old Iron - definitely not a ROPS : ) But for discing flat paddocks in the blazing sunshine, priceless!! : ) I'm one of those guys that likes going round and round using "most" of the available power - nice steady long pulls so consequently over the years I've had my share of sunburn. Sloooowly getting wiser (quickly getting older) so like to stay out of the sun these days.
Of course, I have to get the tractor going before a sun canopy will be of any use 😊
By the looks of the construction, it could probably be "fairly" authentically reproduced. I must look up those plans if they were loaded on to the BB.

Cheers,
Neil

i will be rebuilding the canopy and on the under side adding some steel to give more protection but i like the look of the old style canopy too.we will be using a excavator to push down the big trees. thinking about a root rake anybody have photos of one on a D6?

I have a question about the umbrella typs shades. I have the framework but the materail is gone.Is there a vendor or supplier tht does re-pops or sell the material to redo that is in the cat yellow and has the word printed on it?
