Oh and I just noticed Ken, you asked where I'm located. I live in Cape Breton Nova Scotia Canada and we get tonnes of snow here in the winter. We have had snow already -- just two days ago.
Hi again Ken,
Some progress today. I finally found out from the dealer (who called Kioti) that you don't use the spacers if you have a loader on the tractor. The instructions do not say that. I guess they want you to try and try to figure that out on your own. So now, the cab is bolted down and securely on the tractor both front and back. Also, they don't tell you that you must reverse the hoses. In other words, you take them apart at the quick couplers outside and off the bottom of the tractor and reverse them putting the angled ends under the tractor versus being outside by the loader arms and when you do this, the mount on that side will fit without using the spacer. Another thing the dealer found out by talking to Kioti. And thanks to you, I now know that there is a kit that you use to mount the hydraulic hoses in a different place that is supposed to come with the cab and did not in my case - the dealer is sending that to me so I'm very thankful that you mentioned that in your previous post. Now, just when you feel you're over the hardest parts, there is no section in the instructions to tell you where to hook up the heater hoses or the electrical. I hate to keep asking but would you have any idea where those connections are made on the engine? If I can find those spots under the hood to make the heat and electrical connections, I would be done with it. I looked today and I can't see where any of it goes on. No heat and no power in there would be worse than having no cab at all. I can't see out the windows because they are steamed up. I know this, that this is something that I would never tackle again. That being said, I know it would be easier now after doing it. Also, decent instructions would have saved many many hours and a ton of frustration. Thank God for you guys here. People like me would be lost without you.
