Most Helpful Favorable Review

Pay close attention when picking between the 2 sears sunshades.  This model fits the 2009 model and the other one fits the 2010 model.  Sears changed the manufacturer from AYP to MTD this year.  I bought the wrong one originally because the flip book at the store says the other one is for the PGT. ...

Installed this on my lawn tractor as per the instructions ( it's a direct bolt on part ) and 15 minutes into mowing the welds on the mounting bracket broke and down it came first on me then fell to the side and got under the rear wheel taking my fender in the process. I would not recommend this product...

I knew when I bought it that I would have to cut a semicircle out of the cross brace at the rear because my Sears Revolution Tractor has the gas tank filler cap beneath the seat.  This, the snow blower & bumper I had to adapt for this Tractor -- too bad they had to design this one differently than all the rest.

Sun Shade was easy to attach and does a good job of providing protection from the sun.  The only thing is you must be very careful around trees and shrubs, the slightest snag will damage the shade.

Goodbye Sunburns!

This is perfect for anyone that needs to spend more than 10 minutes mowing, and who doesn't like sunburns!

This assembles fairly simply and does a great job - keep the sun off of you so you don't get burned!  Thank you Sears!

After getting sunburned and seeing this sun shade on my neighbor's tractor, I decided to purchase one.  Easy installation, and as one review said, it was pretty solid.  However, as another review mentioned, it is noisy.  As it sways back and forth it squeeks, very irritating.  I did notice the neighbor had wrapped the uprights with a bunch of bungie cords.  I decided to try something more permanent.  I drilled holes from the side on each horizontal bar, right behind the driver's head, and ran a threaded rod across, tightening with nuts and then a threaded cap to prevent the canvas from wearing...

I bought a shade for my new tractor and liked it so much I got one for my old tractor

Good shade, but squeeky!

Bought this due to my wife having skin cancer and wanting to provide the family with every extra bit of shade.  Looks great, but the set of screws for the springs are not long enough to fit...so harsh ride.  Also, the yard is kinda bumpy and this thing squeeks badly.  So, serves it's purpose, but wear ear plugs or an iPod.

tractor canopy

Got mine today. Assemby is easy. The Monster is really overbuilt to say the least! It also covers a huge area. Originally I was concerned about it flopping around but to my surprise it is pretty stabil even where I am using it with potholes and ruts. The only thing.. if you are used to running your tractor around close to the trees, keep an eye out for low limbs.

I bought the canopy and installed it, that part wasn't to bad.

The top cross bars don't sit right and the whole thing tends to wobel.

It makes allot of noise when your riding.

Use with CAUTION!

I love the fact that I have a shade for my rider, especially for Louisiana; however, this shade was not designed very well. I kept having to put the canvas back on the frame as it was constantly slipping off. Finally, the inevitable happened: the canvas slipped off the front of the sunshade frame, fell off the back of the frame, dragged on the ground and was run over by the mower and caught in the blades. Thankfully, it did not damage the blades/deck! It was replaced by Sears w/o any problem, but I bought some velcro to apply to the front flap of the shade so that it will (hopefully!) stay...
