ft-lbs, 5/8” hardware 177 ft-lbs.
1. Remove seat from seat platform, and
two-post ROPS if equipped.
2. Before cab installation can begin,
some holes must be drilled into operator
platform. Use Figure 1 as a guide and
drill two 9/16” holes into the left of side
platform as shown. Repeat for the right
side.
3. Take the left front bracket support
and position it inside of the operator
platform. Take the left front bracket
and line it up with the holes drilled in
the platform, and the support bracket.
Using the ½” x 1 ½” hex bolts provided
slide the bolt from the outside inward
and use a ½” flat washer, ½” lock
washer, and ½” hex nut to fasten the
bracket. Ensure that the head of the
bolt is on the outside of the bracket near
the brake lines as shown in Figure 2. Be
sure to only loosely fasten the bracket at
this point. Locate the top holes in the
support bracket, and using it as a guide,
drill two 9/16” holes through the top of
the platform. Use the ½” x 1” hex bolts,
flat washers, lock washers, and hex nuts
and fasten the support. Ensure that the
bolt heads are on top of the platform as
shown in Figure 2. Repeat for the right
side.
4. Take the left rear bracket and
position it against the two hold bolt
pattern in the chassis, directly behind
the fuel tank. NOTE: Keep the the cab

outside. Loosely fasten the bracket to
the chassis with ½” x 1 ½” hex bolts, lock
washers, and hex nuts provided. See
Figure 3. Repeat for the right side.
5. Take the seat prop rod attached to
the seat plate and remove. Take the
shorter prop rod provided, and install it
with the factory original hardware. See
Figure 4.
6. Now you are ready to start working
on the cab. Remove the front and rear
cab shipping brackets and lift the cab off
of the brackets.
7. Place one rubber isolator over each of
the cab brackets installed on the tractor.
Take the ½” x 3” hex bolts, 9/16” x 2 ½”
steel flat washers, rubber flat washers,
lock nuts, and ½” hex nuts, and prepare
to install the cab onto the tractor. Lift
the cab slowly over the tractor, centred
over the operator platform. Slowly lower
the cab towards the cab mounts. Be
careful when the cab reaches the seat, as
the cab will have to be maneuvered
around the seat to fit past it. Once the
cab is done, drop the fasteners into place
and loosely fasten as shown in Figure 5.
8. Once all ROPS fasteners have been
started, ensure that the cab is onto the
machine squared, and then torque up all
ROPS fasteners to the specifications
provided earlier.
9. Take the mower stabilizer bracket
and position on the mounts located on
the bottom windshield crossmember.
Use the 3/8” x ¾” flange bolts and nuts

x 2” hex bolts, lock washers, and 7/16”
hex nuts. Locate the holes in the lower

the tubing using the harware provided.
Use Figure 7 as a guide.
