Long ( did I say long ? ) cold winter ahead in the mid west. Next tractor project will be a cab for a 4110 John Deere. Read a couple build threads and want to pick out the best details in place of my usual trial and error methods. In depth details like wiring, heater examples, fresh air intake locations, door flex problems, interior room ( if adequate ) are good topics. The search method on this forum isn't the greatest or maybe I just don't know how to access it. At any rate if anyone with information on a cab build that has proven to work out please add your remarks.
Basic designs have not changed much. I am going with two detachable doors and possibly a removable rear glass. Unsure of roof.... metal or wood covered fiberglass, but room for a circulating fan, switches, and a radio. Due to the tractor size I feel 1" 1/8" wall square tube will be the frame material. Glass in place of popular lexan. I would like to see a shelf in the rear for my favorite four leg companion but haven't measured out the size required. Also how to hold the glass in place..... rubber molding or windshield setting adhesive. Angle or flat stock to hold glass in place. 16 gauge material to fill in where glass coverage is not present. Lighting inside and out.
I might have skipped some details. Any information is appreciated. Thanks in advance !
