Cab question.....

[Gary Fowler]

I have no issue with high noise levels in the cab on my LS, it seems to have plenty of noise deadening material in the roof and tight seals on the doors.
Even on the Kubota B26 with 4 post canopy there doesn't seem to be any "ringing noise" like others have reported. It does have a piece of low density foam glued to the top which I think is more for heat insulation than noise. The foam is deteriorating after 6 years and I will have to replace it someday but for right now, as long as I don't touch it, it doesn't shed on me.

For your "factory" cab, I would look at sealing up the door seams, foaming under the bottom might also help. You should had insulation in the ceiling already, if not glue in some foam. I think most of your noise is coming from gaps between doors and other areas that need to be sealed.
Plexiglas is not the best material for windows due to ease of scratching and crazing which makes it hard to see thru. It looks like your cab has seen lots of abuse if the front, rear and main side door glass have been replaced with Plexiglas. For the cost of replacing all those with glass, you could likely buy a new cab.

I would not have thought that sealing up the doors would make a big difference....will definitely try that as so many of you have suggested it.

With that mentioned I think the door getting replaced and the front glass for now will make a big difference.( have those on order now)

Driving today I did notice there was some fumes coming in that I could smell....not a lot but it was noticeable...anybody have that problem.

As far as a new cab.....Canadian dollar is going down so that idea of buying a whole new cab would be like 8k!!!

Sometimes I notice it a little but normally I think it's if I had the door open in the fumes came in. I just cut a piece of scrap carpet for the floor tonight thinking it might help make it even more quiet. I'll report back results.

8 G's is what I paid for my cab in 2012.

That 8g was just off the dealers head...probably more once he sat down....the door is 650~ to replace

There's not enough wrong with the cab to buy it all new....I will slowly replace it and get sorted out with all the great advice from here

Is there a piece to cover the center between your feet...as in you don't see the wires and other bits?

There was a time, maybe I'm guessing five or so years ago when I saw some really nasty insulation work on a Kioti cab at a farm show. It was just double sided foam stuck into openings. I could not believe that was factory or even dealer provided. I think they corrected this quite quickly, but maybe you got one of those. Maybe the sticky got unstuck and blew away.

In one word, yes.
