No I don't tonight, but I can take some tomorrow if you would like

That would be great! Thanks.

Are you looking for any special pictures or just want a general view of the outside with various angles. I will shoot anything you want to see!

Just a couple of inside and outside pictures. I'm thinking of buying one, but I want to see what it looks like installed on the machine.

Thanks

I will take some tomorrow night when I come home from work, and will also show you a step that I fabricated for that tractor, and my heater modifications, and ROPS bar modifications I also made on this tractor. I can now put this tractor in my garage that has a 7' door, and I'm loving it

Well I just came in from outside and took some pictures of my Curtis cab, I also have some pictures of my step that I fabricated, which can be quickly removed if need be. Notice on these pictures that I have lowered my ROPS bar, so now I can get in and out of my garage without having to lower and raise it. I also have a magnetic mount quad strobe this is wired with an external waterproof connector. If I want to remove my strobe in the summer, and use the power supply for other items such as a rear tank sprayer etc... I am all set to go. Hope this helps.

Thanks for pics Dale! Looks like a real nice set-up. Couple of questions for ya:

1. Does it feel cramped inside the cab?
2. Does the cab amplify the engine noise inside the cab?

Thanks

The cab does not feel cramped at all, I was very pleased by the overall room in the cab. I am 6' tall and 375 lbs and feel very comfortable in this cab. The engine noise is amplified a little bit but I can deal with it. In the summer I will remove the doors, etc.. so that will help. I usually wear ear protection most of the time, and listen to the radio with my headphones, I purchased at Lowes for around $50.00. I did add a hand grip so you have something to hang on to when you enter or leave the cab. I also removed one of the pieces of clear plastic in the front of the cab and replaced it with a piece of steel plate, that I ground to the same shape as the glass. I then bored a hole in the plate and mounted my snow deflecter cable in this hole. I also had to lower my heater 2" so that I would have enough clearance for my deflector cable. (The glass was useless because the heater was in its way) I am pretty fussy and love to fabricate items. I also machined a set of shafts so I can store my mower in the off season and roll it around the shop if its in my way. I was very impressed with this cab, I had a X485 before it also had a Curtis Cab, and it was a nice cab also. But this one is a little more polished. I couldn't see buying the hard side cab for $1000.00 more, I would rather put the money on some attachments. I am in the process of building a set of forks for this unit now

Nice cab and nice step Dale. I won't let my wife see the step or she might start bugging you to take orders!
