8. Take the 4” piece of 180° weather seal and slide it the edge of the sheet metal at the diff lock
pedal opening.
Standard Cab Installation Instructions:
1. Disconnect rear flasher light harness and remove two-post ROPS from machine. Save
fasteners to re-use later.
2. Locate the two bolts in the loader sub-frame shown below and remove. Ensure that the sub-
frame members are properly supported.
3. Take the left front bracket along with the factory hex bolts and nuts and loosely attach the
bracket to the sub-frame. Do NOT torque until after the cab is installed.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the right front bracket.
5.Return to the cab to install lift brackets next. To remove the gas shock on the left cab door,
slide a flat screwdriver underneath the small clip on the end cap that must be pulled UP order
to pop the shock off of the ball stud. The shock will release very easily when this is
accomplished. Lift the door assembly straight up and off of the cab and put aside for now. Take
one cab lift bolt, a ½” x 4 ½” hex bolt and fasten to the tab with weld nut at the top of the b-
post. Repeat for the other side.

6. Using a chain or lift strap, connect the lift bolts to an over head hoist or forklift.
7. Un-bolt the cab from the front and rear shipping brackets and lift the cab off of the shipping
pallet. Lift cab over tractor. Slowly lower down until the front and rear isolators contact the
mounting plates. The cab should be lowered straight down so that the rear brackets fit onto
the location where two-post ROPS was mounted.
8. Using one 5/8” x 3” bolt, heavy flat washer, and flange nut, start the front bracket isolator
fasteners. NOTE: the heavy flat washer is used on the bottom of the isolator underneath the
bracket.

9. Once all isolators are started, torque the isolator fasteners to 200 ft-lbs. The M12 rear nuts
should be torqued to 98 ft-lbs. The front bracket M14 fasteners should be torqued to 130 ft-
lbs.
10. Remove lift strap and lift bolts.
11.Route the wire harness from the front left A-post towards the battery. Connect the 10GA
red wire to the positive side of the battery with the provided 1/4" loop connector. Shorten
wire if necessary, install connector, then solder connect to the wire. Connect the 10GA black
wire to the negative side of the battery with the provided 1/4" loop connector. Shorten the
wire if necessary, install connector, then solder connector to the wire. The cab options are
individually fused behind the switch plate.
12. Take the flasher lights from the 2-post ROPS and attach to tabs on rear of cab. Re-connect
harness to tractor harness.
13. Take the SMV sign from ROPS and attach to rear of the back-hoe.
14. Remove off the factory fuel cap. Take the pre-assembled fuel fill assembly inside of the cab
and check for tolerance to install onto fuel cap. If the hose is too long, loosen clamps and
shorten as necessary to required length. Re-install hose and tighten fuel cap down onto fuel fill
nozzle. Tractor fuelling is now accomplished outside of the cab on the left side. The rubber
washer MUST be between the steel ring on the weldment and the top of the fuel neck on the
tractor. THIS will ensure that diesel fuel will NOT leak into the cab.
