B3200 cab build

[NH-Rob]

what are you going to use for the door latch and where did you get them? Cab looks great by the way! Ken.

I got them from http://WWW.DEALSINAPINCH.COM/masseyfergusonslamlatchcabdoorinteriorrha-sl1448.aspx http://WWW.DEALSINAPINCH.COM/massey...5mkii10851155125026202625264026802685272.aspx
I only used this handle for the door there will be no way to open the windows from the outside.
I felt the price was good but the shipping was a little bit steaper than I would have liked The latches are not exactly what I wanted but I think I will still be happy with them.

Thank you. I have the outside handle that looks just like yours and think the inside part would work great! I will check into them.

Just wanted to tell you the cab looks fantastic. Bet your glad you already had the hoist for taking off your jeep top ?

Thanks,
I am planning on putting a heater in the cab but I want to wait until I have it done before I order one. I think I am going to buy it from sportsimportsltd.com 12, 24, 36, 48 & 72 Volt Auxiliary Heaters & Blankets I bought one from them to put in the skid steer at work and it works very well. I hand built the one for our other skid steer but it does not work well because the fan I use is not big enough.

I noticed that the heater you are looking at has a 30amp draw. How do you know if the tractor can handle that? I'm not saying it can't, I am just curious because I am looking for one myself? Thanks

Thanks. Actually I built the lift for the cab and I hope to be able to use it on the jeep. I must have owned a jeep for close to 10 years and every year I have to find some one to help lift the top off in the spring.

I am not going to buy the electric heater. They have coolant heaters with a low amp draw fan further down the page. I am not sure wich one I will use yet. My dad tried the electric one in his first cab build and it did throw some heat but the charging system just could not handle it. He was using it in on a kubota L2550. He has since built a real cab and installed a coolant heater. He makes sure to rub it in how nice and toasty his cab is while he is out plowing snow and my cab still sits on the shop floor.

If you were to build a few more and get paid for them your wife might be much more receptive. I might be in the market for one for my John deere 770
Just a basic model, windshield, lexan side glass, no heat or radio. I have a canopy to buld from. If your interested?

Very nice cab. I just finished mine and posted on this site yesterday, was looking for handles so I will look into the site you provided here. Thank you for the info.

You would have to be willing to wait and wait and wait because I am real slow at building. I just don't have the time to spend that I would like to. I would think a basic cab with no frills could be built in a short amount of time if you had a good place to work on it. I don't know where you live but if you are close to me I would not mind helping you build one this summer.

Thats the same fan I used in the skid steer. maybe if I used two it work better. It is supose to move 106cfm. Let me know if it works for you and if it does I will upgrade that heater.
Rob

Hey Rob,

this Fan i have used is rated up to 193mｳ/H witch is something around 113cfm.

i have finish my Cab and also the Heater but i am not very happy with the heating power.
The two fans do the Job very well but i think i have do design the Heater Cover in another way and look for an lower mounting place on the Cab.
It looks like they will get air pockets in the Heater circuit because of the high mounting place and so the Heater Core will not heat up enough.

but at all the two fans have enough power so that the windows get not steamed and i think if i can fix the heating problem i can also heat up the Cab very well
