The OPU isn't that good. I've got one!As above that’s rare bearing in mind how good the OPU was. Never liked Duncan Cabs that much but would be very happy to spend a day on yours reminiscing!
Good point, well-madeIt is compared to a duncan or a sta-dri..
i think it was earlier on bigger ones, i know of a 1974 4230 with an opu cabWould have been an mid term tractor probably came into UK without a cab. Early 30 series came with 20 series bonnet
Duncan was the dealer fit option . Opu was the first factory fit option .76 onwards.
The Duncan cab was a cheaper option than the OP cab, but not very many went for it. Quite rare in that configuration.
It would have been far better if it was rear-hinged. It's bad enough having to clamber of the clutch pedal around the dash, without the door swinging back around because the grab handle is on itThe OPU was a Thousand pounds more than the quiet Duncan on a 2030 in spring 1976.
But worth every penny!
Ah the memories☺. Worse thing for me was knocking forehead on the heater housing up on the cab roof everytime l went over a bump.It would have been far better if it was rear-hinged.

hated the Duncan cab on 2130 I used work,but step up to get 2140 with sekura cab,was a pain tripping over clutch pedal indeedThat is true, and the channels for the sliding rear windows filled with dust on early examples.
But, it was a credible first generation Quiet cab from a small Danish company and in many respects far better than the in-house first offerings from the mainline tractor manufacturers.
