L48 soft cab

[LarryRB]

Still isn't fully finished, however the majority is done. First pick, no welding, holes drilled in ROPS or other, he made the windshield frame, then a bracket that uses the factory bolts

 

[LarryRB]

He made a steel panel that completely covers the valve area. All of this BTW, is removable He also made a steel panel with safety glass for each side. The soft covers snap on between the windshield frame and those side panels that go from top of fender to roof sheet metal.

I know it isn't Kubota orange w/sheet metal or canvas type material. He does state tractors and as such, they demand this neon yellow for safety reasons. So, pick of canvas color wasn't an option. In fact, it may be a hair safer for me having it this way to begin with. I picked the machine up because we are told another 7" of heavy wet snow starting Sunday afternoon. I have to have the machine here to do a very long driveway... He will finish the rear next week. It will be aone piece canvas with huge window,, As I may need to move hoe controls, He is sewing in a zipper style flap that I can just reach out and get to the controls. He also has to install the windshield wiper motor...
