ABSTRACT:
A tractor canopy attachment system includes a pair of vertical mounting brackets which are attachable on respective upright posts of a tractor roll bar and a horizontal mounting bracket which is attachable to a cross member of the roll bar. A canopy attachment frame includes a cross member attached to the canopy near the rear thereof, with a mounting flange attached to the cross member which cooperates with the horizontal mounting bracket to hold the canopy in place on the roll bar. A pair of angled braces are attached to respective ends of the cross member, with each brace being removably attachable to a respective one of the vertical mounting brackets. A plurality of easily removable pins hold the canopy mounting flange in position on the horizontal bracket and a single pin holds each angled brace in position on its respective vertical mounting bracket. With the inventive installation system, the entire canopy structure is easily installed or removed in a few minutes by a lone operator.
