Hi all,

Here are some install pics of my cab. Just for a little background, I got this from a friend who makes racecars. When he moved from CT to TN where it doesn't snow, I took the cab off of his hands. The idea here is that some of you fabricators might get some ideas from this.
Start with the 2210 (For now I have to change from the foldable ROPS to the OEM one, but when I get a chance will make some modifications):

Install first upright (all sheet metal is aluminum):

Upright uses (4) 1/4-20 bolts to attach to back of ROPS:

And two bolts to front/inside of ROPS for rigidity:

Little aluminum brackets close in lights:

Second upright installed:

Rear window is plexiglass and attaches with dzus fasteners (1/4 turn aircraft fasteners). Not rear light too:

Front upright goes on and attaches with single bolt through the plastic operators platform:


There are going to be a lot of pics so I'm going to split this over several posts.

Cheers

Continued.

Support piece between front and rear upright is attached with two dzus fasteners:

Another view:

This upright is a little more complicated, as it includes the heater core:

Hoses are routed through footpedal opening (note ball valves):

Here's a good view of how the front upright fits into the hood gap:

Second support on:

Windshield is the heaviest part with the safety glass and wiper motor:

Go to 3rd post.

Continued.

Front view of windshield (again attached with dzus fasteners):

View of heater box and fan unit:

Heater hoses tap into 2210 cooling system with quick couplers:

Hoses are almost hidden with engine covers on:

Roof goes on with dzus fasteners:

Doors slip into hinges and have real automotive style latches on both; windows are plexiglass:

Unit barely fits in shed (I wasn't as smart as some of you who built a big-enough shed!):

Pic from the only snowstorm last year that was plowable:

Install/removal only takes ~ 15 min's.

Ya-know, you might have a money maker there if you could reverse engineer it into a marketable kit.

gunmaker and kennyd,

Thanks for your kind words. I'm a businessman with more ideas than time. Sometimes it is just better to share ideas than try to capitalize on them.

I bet if we cut you down to just one vacation a year.
and we came and stold your golf clubs.
we could get a cab design laid out on paper.
and a new shed build.....
and maybe even a new hoe....
