Argghh!

This thing is fightn' me every step of the way.

Started on it at 7:30 this morning and except for a run to town to get a milk pail full of bolts, I�ve been working steady on it all day long.

Stripped 'er down to parade rest; pulled the fenders and yanked that old floorboard.

At 5 pm I finally had the wide floor bolted down, inch pedal and brakes hooked back up and am just now starting on the pedal stanchions. And, I don't even belong to a darned labor union neither! :>)

Fight me or not, that gizmo is going on there; I don't care if it hair-lips every Holstein bull in Wisconsin! :>)

Looks like a lean mean cow feeding, snow pushing machine.

Allan, what are you using for insulation and floor mat material? I have some foam I picked up that I was planning on using for my cab project but I may change my plans if there is something better out there. The cab I bought off YT and shipped using the shipping schedule (again off YT) came off the same tractor so it included the mounts that will bolt right onto mine. The shipper set it on the ground without even so much as a broken window. Total investment so far is $450 including the shipping bill. That didn't include the road trip to Iowa but that included the family so it didn't count. It also has the AC condenser unit on top but I will have to adapt a compressor later. I have enough cars around that wouldn't miss the AC units much. I have been eyeing up the better half�s unit :) I thought of going after it and painting it up but since its going on a working tractor I am after the function more than the look at this point. Looking forward to sitting in a shaded summer/heated winter tractor by spring. Am making it my winter project and will post project progress after I get going. Keep posting so I know possible problems to expect and what you did to take care of them.

You are going to love that cab come winter. They usually keep you a lot cleaner in the summer too even if their not air conditioned. If I spend all day on the M out disking I get pretty filthy but if I spend the day in our cab tractor I actually stay pretty clean, and a lot less sunburned! My neighbor cut the cab right off his 1066 and put on fenders. In this cold wet year I bet he wishes he had it back. Good luck.

Yep, I sure would love one for my 666. It gets mighty cold up here! Everyone leaves them on here. Only one I've ever found that didn't have a tractor under it already went for over $1000 at an auction.

Not Even,

One tip: Take the darned seat and seat frame clear off the tractor before you start.

It will save a heck of a lot of time, and that wide floor just will not clear with it on.

Good Luck,

Allan

How much of an acrobat do you have to be to get in the cab once mounted. Just curious. chris

Mornin' Chris,

The tape, unless it was lying to me, says I'll be gaining 14" at that front access area. The door opens and folds inwards and towards the seat across that left loader strut.

It certainly was a bearcat the way it was with the fenders. Even with a heat houser, these things are no picnic to crawl on and off of, that's for sure.

I should know for certain this afternoon.

You can type in italics and in bold and even underline if you want to. Heck you can even do all three!!

The trick is to use some simple html tags. Here's a link to an html tutorial site....just one of many on the web.

How do you type in italics here on the board? Never seen that before. Can you type in bold type too? Do you use those F-keys up top?

OOPS! I tried to reply to your request for information on typing in italics or bold, but I accidentally put it as a response to Hillbilly.

Scroll up a little and you'll see it.

Allan,
Looking good, while it is still not to hard to get at. Check the foot & inch pedal linkage adjustment if you haven't already done it. Looks like a different platform. Need to be sure the foot & inch pedal don't come back solid against the platform, will hold the foot & inch valve partily open & will loose drive pressure. Adjust linkage so pedal is about 1/16" from platform

Yes Sir,

This floor is a touch longer and it is holding it cracked now.

I'll adjust it as one of the very last things I do after everything is buckled down and staying where it is gonna live for good.

The adjustment on this one is real easy to get to.

Thanks,

Allan

Allan,

Hey, that's progress. I found in this mostly mild climate that a cab dosen't have to be heated to help. Just getting you out of the cold, wind and rain is a big help.

Interesting pic on your irrigation well. What's the corn yield on that land?

Guys I'll bet he don't spend a great deal of time on that tractor with that seat on there. The old rear pockets will be kinda thin after sitting on that hydraulic valve body for about 4 minutes. Harley
