Be careful of your clearance to get it out of your garage! Looking elegant!
I made sure it will fit in the barn and that i can get it out of garage. Thanks for the complement.

I finished the roof frame work. It tapers in to match the foot board. I have included a picture.

This is what the back canvas window will look like. I plan to use JD yellow to border the windows.

Awesome looking progress. Please keep posting as you go. I am interested in building/buying one for my tractor. The new hard cabs are great but not priced where I would invest in one. Had thought of something like this but it wasn't occurring to me how to attach it. Now I got some more ideas. :thumbsup:
Thanks man. Much appreciated.

Thanks, I have spent 44 hours on the tractor so far. Most of that time I was pondering how to mount the cab. I was planning to build a mount for the bottom of the front hoop, but with it mounted as it is it is very stout. i used 1/4" X 3" flat bar for the mounts to the loader and for the ROPS plates. I will post demensions and materials list when I am done.

I'm surprised a HF tubing bender will bend square tube. Pretty nice, I might need to get one of those...

I was surprised how well it worked also. I just used the regular pipe die, but was prepared to build a fixture like the one I found on the following link. File:8-53 Crush rod.jpg - The Scratch-Built Hot Rod
I think if I had to bend any tighter of a radii, i would have had to build the die that is on the link attached for my HF bender.

Thanks for the compliments. Progress will slow a bit as I had to go back to work. Trying to plan and build the hinges for the doors from stock I have on hand,
