Shuttle used "D" in 300 series. Shuttle used "S" in 400 series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeES Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I thought it was the "Deluxe" with the electric lift and electric clutch?? By looking at the above chart is doesn't look like the D was "Deluxe" Original Tractor Cab made a cab for (as they called it) 300/400 Deluxe which did not have the offset/cutout for the manual lift handle in the front windshield. I had one, and it worked great on my 917, with electric lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
