fender deck bracket for soft side cab

Recommended Posts

Anybody have a picture of the tube bracket on the fenders and brackets from under the seat springs that support the back of the soft side cab? My cab I bought is missing them and I am guessing I will have to fabricate something to take its place. A pic would help me visualize what I need to find/make. Thanks Mike

I have a "parts cab" and it has a solid bar that gets screwed into the seatpan that looks like this;

The later ones have this almost exactly but it has two flat pieces welded on the tube towards the center, aligned for the seat holes, that have a dog leg on them so that no new holes are required in the seat pan.I should mention this is for RBT, not FDT.

Mine must be a later set up. I actualy think the cab came off a Sunstar. It has a square tube that is bent in the shape of a "U" that goes under the tractor to support the front of the cab. I see no way that would ever work on a large frame. That being said, I have adapted it to work with some extra plate brackets to tie it to the frame. I used a treated 2x4 across the fender deck to support the back of the cab. Just need to make some spacers to tie into the uprights that the doors latch to. I am almost there getting it mounted.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
