So i have taken my 550 to a guy who builds race cars yesterday to design a rop for it, but i need some help. First off he said that he could use some 1 3/4 inch 120 seamless steel tube and i was wondering if you all think that this is enough. he said that he could use some 2x2 or bigger square steel, but he wouldn't be able to bend it and would have to do some welding up at the top. I had posted this at another discussion forum and someone suggested i use 2x4 or bigger. The other thing that we found out was that the pto lever comes back and hits where the rop would go up from the axle. He said that he could take it around it a bit but it might be a knuckle buster..... so is there a way to reconfigure this lever so that its out of the way (maybe putting it up front? So what is the best thing to do here? What have you all done? If anybody has a digital camera and could take a picture or two and shoot them out to me at gelder@rocketmail.com that would be spectacular.
This guy does good work, but we just need some ideas.
thanks matt
