Steve> Thanks for the inquiry.We hunted a cab for the 706 with out any luck. Found a cab from???? what ever over in North Dakota. Took a day and drove over to the dealer who had it laying apart in a heap.Parts missing and was basically a bunch of sheet metal with doors??And tin riveted to the whole carcass.All the glass was there, but the rubber seals were shot around glass openings. Brought it home and disassembled what was riveted together.Started working on making panels. The back panel(original) was home made and cobbled then riveted together.That we made new. Front panel that covered the hood was missing, so we template d a cardboard pattern and cut out a formed panel from the template.Next we made a battery set back (part way back inside the cab)that was sealed from the interior of the cab. Made a series of floor panels (templated then cut out new sheet metal)sealed around edges,riveted to the cab frame. Last piece that was mad from a template was the cab visor. Steps were made along with the loader valve plate. Re-worked the window hinge assemblies. Made new lock knobs for the window frames.added a new cab heater and have the new fan here (but not yet installed) along with us doing the upholstery. I am sure some of this information may be of help but knowing your work (pictures you showed) if it is at all possible, you can template each and every cab part necessary to seal out the weather. The only part we didn't manufacture was the door frame and the roof. The rest we made. We even went to the expense of re-tubing the Swartz loader arm with Stainless steel,tube /fittings and a bending tool line holder blocks ,new hoses etc. We are delighted to share what information we have on the 706.We even made our Slow moving vehicle sign for the back of the cab (matter of fact we made 2 of em . Here are the pictures. Warmest Regards LOU & VICTOR.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
