Canopy 2615, 2816, 3015 Owners wanting a cab

[George2615]

I've been looking for a cab for my 2615 for a while. Most cabs I saw online were too costly ($1500 and up). I recently did a search and found a cab that is listed to fit a 2816. Another cab company claims their cab fits a 2615, 2816, and 3015 so I looked at the picture of the 2816 tractor with cab and its the same body as mine.
For those interested, I just purchased and installed a cab made for a 2816 on my 2615. The cab with the optional safety glass window was just over $900 including shipping. It fits perfectly. I also purchased a small electric heater with fan from another company for about $50. shipped.

I bought my cab from RJPartsco.com The 2816 cab is part#11767, the optional safety glass windshield is #10120
The heater I bought on Ebay. Its a RoadPro 12V direct wired ceramic heater w/ fan. Its only 300 watt but should be enough to keep the windshield clear.

The main thing is to keep the bitterly cold wind and snow on the outside so I can stay a little warmer.

I also added some new universal cab lights from NAPA and made brackets to support the magnetic flashing caution light and the electric heater inside..

I looked at this company also. I asked if it would fit My 2516 and was told NO!

Your 2516 has a different body / fender style. The ones I listed are the same.
A cab that fits a 2516 will also fit a 2415 but RJ's doesn't list one.

George, I am considering the same cab for my 2615. I trailer my tractor to my in laws to plow their property and was curious if you felt the cab would hold up going down the road on a trailer with vehicle speed 55 mph or slower?

It should hold up fine I'd think (I have the same cab) It is basically like a Jeep top so it should be fine.

George how does the front windshield hook in? Is it physically attached to the frame work of is it made into the vinal material then that snaps onto the frame work? I have the standard vinal windshield & was just wondering.
Also how does the windshield wiper motor hook on??

Bill, the front windshield frame is made of material similar to the top canopy (hard plastic). The glass is mounted in rubber. It tucks under the canopy at the top and mounts with a couple bolts through the sides.

Bill, Did you buy rear wheel spacers for yours? I contacted Woods and they don't carry them. Bro-Tek has them but are too expensive. I have a drawing of the spacers but haven't contacted a local machine shop yet for a quote. Other than Bro-Tek I could find no one that sells a 6 lug on 6" bolt pattern spacer.

Bob,
I have towed mine around many times at highway speed with no problems.

Yeah I bought the rear spacers from Neutron Equipment In Alfred Maine. I believe he got them from Woods. I remember him saying something about them being made for tractors recieving a Woods frame mount backhoe so there would be enough clearence. He ordered them for a different tractor than mine & I thought he did that is error but perhaps he did it on purpose because Woods didn't have a listing for the 2615 but he knew they would fit. The bolts that came with it were wrong though & we had to order some fine thread bolts (they came with corse thread bolts) I think they were around $100.
