Here is a photo of my 440 with what the PA Forestry Dept thought was a ROPS in 1959.
It won't do much good as there never was a seatbelt.
At least I won't be a target for the birds.

Jack,
Thanks for the look.
The reverser is thus far only a lever and a spacer between the clutch and the trans.
The bolt the linkage pivots on was broken off long ago and never fixed.
Someday I will pull the canopy and fenders, as they are all welded together, drill out the bolt, replace the linkage, and see if the reverser will, well, reverse.
The three-point is cool though.
I overlooked a few other flaws when I saw that hitch on the back.
