[@BigRed-qe9zj]

How much did it cost to do this ?

[@jamesc2197]

How is this mounted to the tractor?

[@ChrisGagnonDIY]

i bolted pipe caps to the frame and then slide them down in like a coupling.

[@AFCOLONEL1]

@@ChrisGagnonDIY I would like to see a picture of what the pipe caps are and exactly how you fastened them to the frame. Everything else is displayed very well but this critical step is messing.

Hope you don't mind if I offer some friendly constructive criticism? If you're going to produce a video that features a certain product (in this case, those "AdjustAJoint" gadgets), please take a couple seconds in the intro to explain what they are, what they do, and why they're awesome for this particular application. Also, if this is the "second in a series" video that feature them, please add a link to the first (and third, once it's complete). I watched the entire video hoping to get a little education about these things, but got to the end and still had no clue. I had to view the video a second time to catch the 2 seconds where it appears that you quickly demonstrated the joints, but again, no explanation of what you were doing. Someone not looking for it might easily miss it, as I did the first time. I did follow the links to find out more, and was further confused about the amazon link because they seem to use a different name, or make. Overall great video, I have attempted a similar sunshade project for my old Snapper riding mower out of ½" metal conduit, but mine didn't turn out half as nice as yours, and I quickly regretted not using PVC. Hope this helps, and I apologize in advance if I misunderstood the intent of the video. I'm a gadget geek, and when I see something new and exciting, I immediately want to know more. Cheers!
