Nifty Portable Tractor Cover
“I have to drive over my lawn to get my 9N tractor out to my woodlot. So I decided to park the tractor in the woods for firewood hauling. I hate to leave it outside so I came up with a simple way to cover it,” says Mark Yax, Solon, Ohio.
  “I made some uprights out of aluminum tubing. On the front end, U-shaped brackets fit over the axle. At the back, I added a short piece that fits to the top link. Another piece runs from the front bracket to the back. The 3 pieces come off easily for storage. I cut a pool noodle in half to slip over the front and back to keep from tearing the tarp, which is held in place with a couple 2 by 6’s and cement blocks on either side. Bungee straps hold the front and rear, leaving openings so air can circulate.
  “The tractor stays nice and dry and it only takes a couple minutes to cover it. My uncle, who bought this tractor 77 years ago, would be glad that I’m taking good care of his baby.”
