New Curtis Cab 70 series BX25 , will it fit 60 series BX25?

No interest to anyone else in this topic?

I'm very interested...both in terms of the BXxx and the B-series.

But I don't have a Curtis Cab, or know of one who does.

Thus, I *Bump* in hope of further, relevant commentary.

I got to see a brand new 1KBX70AS in person today, just installed on a BX2670 today at the dealer. Very nice. There were no 60 series around the dealer to compare and unfortunately I did not have a tape measure with me but didn't see any reason why it would not work on the BX25 60 series.

Are there ever any sales/specials/discounts/deals on these Curtis cabs or is it full price all the time?

BUMP... As I'm investigating a Curtis Cab myself.

I have a BX25 60 series. Days like today make me wish 100x over that I had bought the 25D they had on the lot when I got mine... instead I chose to save like $750 for the "old" model... what a waste of saving money (plus the seat really is much more comfortable on the 25D).

Literally might upgrade to a B3350 now just because I DO NOT like the old cab compared to the new one - so it makes me re-think EVERYTHING.

Unreal.

Yes the new cab is much nicer, with the larger doors and the hard rear panel. If I am buying a hard cab, I want it to be hard on all four sides not just three.

I think it will fit just fine. The lower part of the ROPS is the same part number. The upper part of the ROPS is different, it tilts forward on the 70 series.

I think if you install the new cab on a 60 series all that would be askew is the ROPS wouldn't nest into those two brackets on the cab, it will be laying back. And I think that can be fixed either by buying a 70 series upper ROPS or just making some extension brackets for those U brackets on the cab so they reach the ROPS.

Still no help on this topic? Any dealers out there that are ready to install the 1KBX70AS on a 70 series that have a 60 series BX25 available to quickly hold the side frames and the front cowl piece up up to it to see if it seems it would fit?

 

[Jeff H]

Amazing. I must assume this to be a forbidden topic to speak about. Maybe Curtis would punish a dealer that would admit the 1KBX70AS can be adapted to a 60 series BX25.

Anyone?

Not sure if this helps, but I think the Curtis cab #1KBX25SS (soft-side) or the #1KBX25AS would work with the 60 series(bx 24 & bx25). The ROPS are angled back on these versions and this cab has a angled filler glass?
Here is the link to the literature. There is a vendor selling that version on eBay for $3600

The #1KBX70AS or 1KBX70SS would be for 70 series (25D)
