anyone have any tips on taking the roof of an xl cab, got the screws at the back out looks like it is still secured at the front but cant see anything, does the heater box have to be lowered to get to a hidden bolt?

 

[SuperTwo]

My tip is don't.
Pretty much everything has to be removed to access the bolts.

Why has it got to come off?

Its a while since I've done one, but I think there is 2 bolts at the very front as close to the windscreen as possible. They are a bitch to get to but it is possible to remove them without removing the heater.

I'm on with a roof swap at the moment, all out from inside, not that hard really

found the bolts at the front . Came off no problems then. Painting the cab after welding is done. Top of cab at the back needs a patch so thought it would be easier taking the roof off. Might not be so easy putting it back together

repairs done to cab. Not perfect but stronger than what was there

new pieces made for under the rear side windows with the shrinker stretcher

shrinker stretcher

Amazing tools to use

new piece welded in. Not perfect but glass fits so happy with that. Body filler will sort the rest. Hardest bit to do yet. Plate was curving in two planes. Took a couple of attempts to get the creases out. Had to cut it into three sections to get it bent round neatly

Cab is from an 885 and is going into a 4240. Gear linkages on opposite sides. Next job is to sort this. There is a plate behind your feet and under the seat needs fitted to allow the linkage to work. Hoping nothing else under the cab is different.

[aleary5a]

No it tight. Feels fine

Going Through Our Case 844XLN, Got to the cab heating and the blower works perfect, but the temperature gauge (think its called a vaneum gauge i think) was snapped when we got it. Trying to find a replacement. Checked online on parts diagram and so on.

Would anyone know where I could get one of these please?
It’s off my 1255xl
The flange bolts onto the shaft that comes out of the gear box and the splined part slides over the end of the prop shaft that goes to the front axle.
Tried a few of the usual international part guys but no luck yet.

I do know someone who is good at machining , he is a one man band but whether he can help you I don't know, there's only one way to find out if you can't find what you need

Do you think it’s the same as a side drive 956? We bought a whole UJ and spline assembly from someone ages ago (Bepco?) and had it welded in…..
