Here are some new pic BigBri, I am glad you requested them, I have been meaning to put some new ones on but haven't had time.

Anyhow, as you all can see the cab is progressing well, I am doing wiring and finishing up the door, I hope to get the door and wiring buttoned up this week and then I can call the glass man to measure up for my glass.

I also still have to run my hoses for my heater and put the ROPS back on after I install the rear glass, I will still have some things I want to do to it but they will have to wait for next year, I need to get some firewood cut.

thanks for the update. . . i can't wait to see the finished cab, it's looking great

I installed the heater and heater hoses tonight, I will try to finish up the rest of the wiring tommorow as well as get the door painted, I will post some pics as well.

I cant wait for pictures! I really want a cab for my Yanmar 169D. I drew it out already too. I just need to figure out how to get a loader joystick into the cab through the glass.

Looking good !!! Just wondering about the hinges for your doors
Loved the wiring photos !!

 

[mcd176]

The hinges I used are standard 4" steel door hinges, They worked out great and I saved alot of $$ over buying factory type hinges.

I am still waiting on my glass, I did some last minute changes so I held the process up, Other than me making the interior panels which I wont do untill spring the cab is done, I will post some other pics this week.

I recieved a call from the glass company today, I can pick it up on Friday. I also have ordered the urathane adhesive from NAPA. I will take some pics of the process.

I just found your cab project today. Looks very good. I built one for my Kioti CK25 last fall. You will love being in it. Does your heater system take air from outside? This is quite important. If it does not your windows will fog up on the inside. Anyway, here is a couple pics of mine. Unfortunately I did not take any photos while building. You can search my other posts for more stuff.

Excellent cab you made for yourself Deon.

 

[SLOWMANDOWN]

was wondering if you had build pics and deminsional drawings for your cab. I have the same tractor as you. Sure would appreciate some build direction.

Forgot to mention...Wow that is some neat cab!

Slowmandown,

As I stated earlier, I did not take photos while building. Taking dimensional drawings of everything would be difficult as everything is round on these tractors. Email me if you would like more photos and some measurements.

Deon, very nice cab, what are you using for a door latch/opener?

I purchased the tractor with a Sims cab. I didn't like it because it was all steel plate and very little glass plus it was fastened to the floor and jumped up and down all the time the tractor was moving. I saved the roof panel, heater, one wiper and the door latches. This is a photo of my tractor with the Sims.
