I have to apologize for being such a pain for the past few months with all the little things I had wrong with my tractor. I have finally fixed all the problems with my tractor and most on the cab and I want to show you all what I have done with all the help and Info you guys have given me. And you all have been asking for pics, so here they are!!! What do you think???

dirtsaver Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Mark I think that's the first small frame tractor I've seem with a cab. Looks like you've done a good job adapting the Bolens cab. As time goes by I'm sure you'll make more improvements to the setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanhamm Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 the cab looks nice mark. how did you end up attaching it? self drilling screws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksA-C Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 No, not at all. I actually made a set up that had studs in my hood and fenders so all I heed to do is bolt it down with 1 locknut on each corner. I drilled the hole and fed the bolt up through the hole. I added a locknut and a standard nut and tightened it. the I just put the cab mounts onto these "studs" and added the washer and nylon lock-nut. Works really nicely and its easy to take on and off.

MPH Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Looks like it'll keep the snow off of you too me, that's what matters the most with a blower on the front. Don't look half bad either. Nice retrofit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksA-C Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 Here is the bolt pattern I was talking about. [IMG]http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m290/mccarronm04/BoltPattern.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN_FISH Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 You'll be really proud of it when you put it to work and you are nice and comfy ^inside. One thing left to do is get some white duct tape to put over the Bolens:D;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksA-C Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 quote: Stated by-MN Fish One thing left to do is get some white duct tape to put over the Bolens;):D Why should I do that? I like it the way it is, it works and thats the bast part. I have to be careful not to take any hills wrong because my pivot point is in the middle and the cab is mounted to the front and the back.

SimpleTom Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Mark, You're welcome for the pictures. It was nice meeting you and your brother and seeing your collection. I wish I could have stayed longer but with the cold weather and the cold that I currently have I probably shouldn't have been out as long as I was. Next time you come over to my place and check out my heard of Broadmoors. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjouelle Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 In my book, function beats appearence every time. The one detail I noticed (I'm surprised nobody said anything about it) was the little American flag in the upper corner of the cab. That made the whole thing perfect for me, enjoy ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksA-C Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 Finnaly, your the first to notice the flag. I still need to patch it up then I'm ready to go! Well, and get my set of rear rims fixed and get the chains on and wait for Wminmi to come to WI. Can't wait for it to be finished! Thank You All!
