RBT snow cab on a FDT?

[ridgerunner]

Anyone ever mount a RBT cab on a B-series (BigTen) type tractor? I have a nice condition complete orange cab & doors with the fiberglass top and all the frame work, for what I believe came off a RBT just sitting here in the barn. Thought I might put it to use. What modifications would this install require?

just start mounting hardware and see what happens, try not to drill holes til you are sure it will work.

I went the other way (FDT cab to a RBT) and did exactly like Noly recommends. In my case, I put it together and with the aid of some welding vise-grip style clamps and cardboard to protect paint, got it all mocked up before figuring out where to drill and bolt. I used plastic spacers from the hardware stores bins-o-goodies by the nuts and bolts to keep metal from contacting metal where it wasn't a great fit, like on the seat pan. I wasn't able to use the dash brace, unfortunately.

That being said, where are you located? Want to figure out a trade on a FDT cab for your RBT cab?
