Any tips on refitting cab. Glass in before or after fitting. Probably build up most of it before I swap it. What's best/cheapest stuff to bond the glass in

@REStracTORATION might be able to advise. I would guess that cabs were fully fitted out before dropping on to tractor in the factory. It might depend with what you have to lift the cab?
Have a small forklift can lift to 3m so not high enough to lift from above using the proper lifting points on the cab. Maybe put forks in back window with timbers across the forks. Also have 3 ton 360. Again won't lift high enough unless have digger sitting on a pile of aggregate.just worried about breaking glass really

Could you take the wheels of the tractor and drop it down on some thin blocks to help with the height? May give you some inches to work with

Think the cab has to go up over the steering wheel so need a good bit extra. May think about that one. Only other idea is to hire a telehandler but will need to hire it twice as wanting to clean up chassis of tractor and do some painting while cab is off

Tidy up interior trim is another job. Has anyone has any success in cleaning the fabric material or do most just replace for new. The complete interior is very expensive!
