Abstract

A folding roll-over protective structure has hinges that may be attached weld-free to the folding legs of the structure. Selectively removable locking pins may be used to lock the structure in its fully upright use position or a collapsed folded position. Strategically located cushions within the hinges take up slack in the system to minimize rattling when the structure is locked in its use position.
