welding repairs complete. cab blasted clean. Sprayed in galvanized paint and finished in two paint satin black should be good for a few years now

 

[aleary5a]

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?

 

[REStracTORATION]

I agree
I'd build up the majority of it 1st as it's easier to work on
Sika flex or tiger seal for the bonding and tape them until its gone off

You can lift them on empty but it's a pain trying to route things up high than comfortable working height I find

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

Surely their is a neighbour with a handler?

 

[essexpete]

If you can find a telehandler locally to help out that might be the best option. Save a lot of messing about.

 

[colhonk]

NAH, watch youtube, lift the 360 up on the forklift to get plenty of height

 

[aleary5a]

Think I found a handler I can get a lend of. Safest option I think

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!

 

[Renaultman]

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…..

My local propshaft man would just make another one to pattern, I bet loads do. Major and Aspinal is mine.

What length is the top link on a 674? Anyone got a link to an aftermarket one please?

New boots ready to go on, getting wheels blasted, then painting, gonna paint hubs just to tidy it up for a while,

New to me 2nd hand roof, typical IH broken at mid point due to roof hatch seizing up, all corners were 95%, I’ve glassEd the roof hatch solid, reinforced the stress points, filled numerous holes that had aerials etc, all ready for primmer now, then to swap over,

 

[essexpete]

The whole XL roof design was poor. First the recessed hatch and drain tubes causing the interior cladding damage, the weakness in the hinge area and to compound it the possible ingress of water through the badly designed air intakes.
