Sg2 cab roof removal JD 3350

[marco]

How do I remove the top off the cab on my 3350? Need to get in to the heater valve.

 

[Dingle]

2 big bolts, 1 either side of the hatch and 3 or 4 screws under the front edge. It hinges up up from the back

Otherwise you will be drilling out rivets to get in any further.

Yes as above, push the roof hatch right up then pivot it over the back of the cab out of the way then you can stand on the seat to get access to the bolts mentioned above. From memory think there's a stay to prop the roof skin up.

Find ladder
Climb ladder with socket
Climb back down ladder to get the right socket
Climb back up ladder
find bolts siezed
Climb back down ladder to find WD40
Climb back up ladder to spray WD40
Climb back down ladder
Move ladder to undo screws
Climb ladder with screw driver
Find screws also seized, spray with WD40
Move ladder to original position
Climb ladder with socket
Snap bolt that's still siezed
Unscrew remaining bolts.
Drop one of the bolts on the floor, never to be seen again
Climb down ladder and reposition to undo screws
Some of the screws undo, one snaps, one screw falls on the floor
No one is nearby to help remove the roof skin, press on regardless.
A gust of wind blows the second the roof parts company with the cab, cracking the 35 year old plastic as it hits the floor.

I think that's about covered it

This but also with some rounding of the cross head phillips screws & not being able to overcome the strength of the glue/tape sealer between the layers while wobbling on steps which will all add to your anguish

Best just to forget it entirely, scrap the tractor and sell it to me for £500

That's a Very generous offer Pete.

To my amazement none of the studs were seized and the all came out. Even the Philips head studs. Not bad for 34 years old.

Drat.
