I see the pen which you pull out. Then do you have to screw out the two bolts to fold? Anyone know size of bolt? I am sure this must be easy so sorry for asking a dumb rookie question. Cleaned out garage and I am ready to store the tractor. Measured at 90 degree tops bend and it will fit. Thanks

Welcome to the forum. Yes once you have pulled the 2 retaining pins that go through the bolts you remove the 2 bolts, you will then be able to fold down the ROPS and reinsert the bolts and pins with the ROPS down.

Good luck with it.

You may have to loosen the bolt on which it pivots. Be prepared to slow it as it goes down, it's kind of heavy.

On my BX, I loosen both hand screws (think there for rattle reduction), pull pins to fold ROPS.
