I have been fabing up the 2 post canopy for my Case 831C. I have only a bit over 9' of ceiling heidth, so I couldn't just lift the frame up with the cherry picker and set it on.
I built a lifting gig that lifted it and also controlled the angle of dangle with a ratchet strap. It worked perfectly to set the upright strut onto the axle. I temperarly camped it fast with some 1/2" bolts to make measurments for the roof assy. Still need to fab up the bottom brackets out of the same channel iron that is welded to the bottom of the struts. I will use 8 3/4 bolts to secure the strut to the tractor.
When seated on the tractor, I will have 11" of clearance over my head. The roof assy will be fabed from 16G sheet stock and reinforced with a 2x2"x.188" tubeing frame work.
