DESIGN CONCEPT
Curtis Cabs feature an assembly of parts designed for your vehicle which require
adjustment and alignment of components to accommodate vehicle variations and
provide proper weather protection. For accurate installation, proper operation, and
years of satisfaction, please read and understand the installation instructions.
From all of us at Curtis, we thank you for choosing our product.
CAB INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOU START
HELPFUL REMINDERS:
A. Leave all bolts loose for later adjustment unless otherwise specified.
B. Read and understand all instructions before beginning.
C. Plastic washers have been supplied to provide a weather seal around
all button head exterior fasteners. The plastic washer should be installed
under each bolt head directly against the outside cab surface. Care
should be taken not to over tighten the fasteners and damage the plastic
washer. Also use metal washers as required.
D. Apply a clear silicone sealant to seal any minor gaps that may occur due
to vehicle variances. E.G. front legs to bottom of unitized frames.

111 HIGGINS STREET, WORCESTER, MA 01606
MODEL: JOHN DEERE 2305, 2210 HARD SIDE & SOFT SIDE CABS
CABS/BLADES/ SPREADERS/ACCESSORIES
NOTE: This cab is designed to fit the 2210 and 2305 tractors
with 210, 200X or 200CX loaders. It may or may not fit with oth-
er attachments or aftermarket loaders.
1. VEHICLE PREP
1.1 Remove SMV sign and bracket. On 2305 models r-install the turn
signal light with the hardware removed with the SMV bracket.
1.2 (See figure 1) Remove and discard bolts from the tractor floorboard
as shown. There are 2 bolts on the left side but only one on the right
side.
1.3 (See Figure 1) Remove seat belt holder bracket and the bolt next to
it from the base of the roll bar on both sides of the tractor. Retain for
later use.
1.4 (See Figure 2) The plastic floorboard of the tractor must be leveled
before installing the cab. If the tractor is parked on a flat floor meas-
ure from the ground to the top of the floor board just in front of the
rear fenders. If no level surface is available block a straight edge up
against the bottom of the tractor frame and measure from it to the
top of the floorboard. If the right side is lower than the left have an
assistant lift up the right side of the floorboard and stack fender
washers from the hardware kit between it and the mounting bracket
where the bolt was removed in Step 1.2. Add washers to make the
measurement the same as the left side.
2. FRONT COWLASSEMBLY
2.1 (See Figure 3) NOTE: Part descriptions can be found on pages 7
and 8. Assemble the left and right front legs to the cowl with a 5/16”
X 3/4” long button head screw at the inside holes only. Assemble so
that the cowl is on the outside of the front legs. NOTE: Use a nylon
washer in addition to the steel washers on all exterior button head
bolts as explained in helpful reminders on the previous page. Align
the outer edges and tighten the bolts.
2.2 (See Figure 3) Install one of the pieces of 1” flat bulb from the
hardware kit along the inner sheet metal edges. Trim so that the bulb
ends even with the bulb already installed on the bottom of the legs.
2.3 (See Figure 4) Place cowl assembly onto the tractor. The 1” flat
bulb should point forward. NOTE: On 2305 models the cowl co-
vers the operation decal. It is highly recommended a new decal,
part # LVU14471, be purchased from John Deere. Install the
decal on the inside of the cowl above the old decal. FIGURE 4

3. SIDE FRAMES
3.1 With assistance, remove doors from side frames (for easier han-
dling) by unlatching and sliding up and off the hinge pins.
3.2 (See Figure 5) Assemble left and right rear legs to the left and right
side frames with 5/16” X 3/4” button head screws in all but the top
holes. Cut the remaining piece of 1” flat bulb from the hardware kit
in half. Install along the bottom edge of the rear leg and along the
contour of the frame. Do not trim rubber at this time.
3.3 (See Figure 6) Install the left side frame onto the tractor by in-
stalling the bolts and seat belt holder removed in step 1.2 through
the base of the rear leg. Attach to floorboard with 5/16” X 1-3/4”
long carriage bolts from hardware kit.
3.4 (See Figure 6) Trim the 1” flat bulb at the bottom of the contour
even with the bottom of the tractor floorboard.
3.5 Repeat for right side frame.
3.6 (See Figure 7) Check that 1” flat bulb on the front cowl assembly is
still pointing forward and attach the cowl assembly to left and right
side frames with 5/16” X 3/4” button head screws.
4. ROLL BAR BRACKETS
4.1 (See figure 8) Install roll bar bracket mounts to left and right rear
legs with 5/16” X 3/4” carriage bolts.
4.2 (See figure 8) Install roll bar brackets to the mounts with 5/16” X 1”
carriage bolts. NOTE: Carriage bolt heads should be on the bracket
side pointing toward the center of the tractor.

CABS/BLADES/ SPREADERS/ACCESSORIES
5. HARD SIDED REAR PANEL (Optional on soft sided cabs)
5.1 (See Figure 9) Tilt the tractor seat forward and have an assistant
help pass the rear panel through the front of the cab and position the
bottom of the panel against the base of the rear legs. Pivot the panel
up and into position against the rear legs being careful not to tear or
pull off the rubber gasket at the bottom of the panel.
5.2 Bolt the rear panel to the rear legs with four 5/16” X 3/4” button
head screws in the bottom four holes only. The top holes will be
used when bolting the roof on.
6. WINDSHIELD SUPPORT
6.1 (See Figure 10) Install the windshield support to the side frames
with the bent flange down. Install only the bottom two 5/16 x 1”
long button head screws. NOTE: The top holes will get fasteners
once the roof is installed. Align the edges of the windshield support
with the outside edges of the side frames and tighten bolts.
7. WINDSHIELD
7.1 (See Figure 11) With assistance, install the windshield to the wind-
shield support. Use four 5/16 x 1 3/4” long flat head screws and two
3/4” thick plastic spacer blocks placed between the plastic hinge and
the windshield support.
7.2 (See Figure 12) To install windshield bottom latches into the cowl
brackets, open windshield slightly. Grasp and squeeze the spring-
loaded tabs and cradle latches into cowl brackets, aligning tab boss-
es with their respective mounting holes.
7.3 To close, grasp the windshield bottom edge and lift slightly while
pushing closed. Fully close latches. Align sides of windshield with
side frames and tighten hinges. HINGES ARE PLASTIC COMPO-
NENTS. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. TORQUE TO 7 FT./LBS.
MAX.

8. ROOF
8.1 Use a Phillips head screwdriver or other pointed instrument to poke
holes in the roof headliner at each of the bolt holes. Puncture from
the headliner side to the outside.
8.2 (See fig. 13) Install roof with 5/16” button head screws using 1”
long screws as noted and 3/4” long screws elsewhere. If installing
the hard sided rear panel install a 3/4” long bolt in the center of the
rear flange.
9. REAR CURTAIN (SOFT SIDE ONLY)
9.1 Install rear curtain by snapping to the inside back vertical edge of
the roof.
9.2 (See Fig. 14) (NOTE: adhesive backed Velcro should be applied to
a clean, dry surface at room temperature.) Using the curtain as a
guide apply self adhesive hook Velcro, as needed, along the inside
of the rear legs and the corresponding line along the tractor. At-
tach rear curtain to newly applied Velcro strips.
10. FINISHING TOUCHES
10.1 Tighten bolts on front cowl assembly, windshield support and rear
legs, lining up the edges of the sheet metal with the outside corners
of the unitized frame tube. Tighten the bolts in the roof and rear
panel (if equipped). Next, tighten the bolts attaching the base of the
rear legs and seat belt holders to the roll bar followed by the floor-
board bolts. Finally, tighten the roll bar mounts and brackets. Install
plastic nut covers on all the nuts on the inside of the cab as well as
the roll bar brackets.
10.2 Install doors onto hinges. Work the doors back and forth until the
hinges are completely seated. (NOTE: the hinges, inside latch, and
striker bolt can also be adjusted for proper engagement.)
