Not to bad its the qd cab made the tractor awful to drive the customer reckons, it needed abit of work here and there all 4 bolt that hold the lift off bit on had snapped in the inserts bit of welding on the mudgaurd tops under where frame sits
Will be far nicer without cab and quieter

Really?, the QD cab should be reasonably quiet, providing all the padding is still fitted?
It's the high windscreen and opening battery flap that spoils that cab.

Be worth more money with the cab on as there is not many about with the QD cab.

My "dream" is to get a good enough finish on one of my tractors that people will ask me to paint for them

I hate to see things like this. Should have a cab fitted, it left the factory with it, and all part of the history.
But, up to the owner in the end, it is his or hers tractor. Just my preference.

I agree, the 188 would be so much better with just the cab frame and keep compliant with safety regs.
