I want to purchase Side Mirrors for my C series. I like to see what is going on around me when operating equipment at all times. Is there a cab mirror available for windshield mounting as well? Can I purchase side mirrors without the headlamp kit that I see in photos?

I installed an automotive type mirror on my C and again on the D. They are the glue on kind that fit at the top of the windshield. If you buy one make sure it has the special glue in the package or buy the glue kit.

They work great but do vibrate a little at high idle.

You should be able to order them through the parts dept. I don't know if the base is a special part welded to the cab.

The mirrors, both outside and inside are available through bobcat, but as i recall, they are not cheap. They do come with brackets and install hardware.
The inside mirror can be a glass mount or older type automotive that installs with screws to the windshield header. I couldnt keep the glue on glued on in hot weather, so I found one at a junk yard that attatched with screws and it works very well.

I have the mirror in the center of the windshield on my 'A'. Not sure if it came with the unit new. It was marginal at best before I mounted an SMV sign on the rear window guard which made it useless. I haven't asked the Bobcat dealer about side mirror options yet. I have searched the web a little and found aftermarket mirror kits very similar to what comes on new Ag equipment that might work. They can get perty pricey though.

I put in an automotive mirror like dakota did, and it does the job well. If you go this route, be careful not to mount it too high on the windsheild since the rear window sits a bit lower and you could find that you are unable to see straight out the back window. I almost got mine mounted too high. :eek:

I have the automotive type mirror and it seems to do the job. Wish it was a bit wider. Haven't looked at side mirrors but they would be helpful in some applications.
