B3200 cab build

*Update*
I finally have got around to cleaning up and painting my door and window frames. I installed the glass in the side and rear windows and put the rubber seal around them. I made some templates and ordered the last two sections of glass for the door today. I will need to make something for the seal on the rear window to hit on. I have some ideas of how to do this. It is still a work in progess but I am gaining.

Looking good.

I think I'm finally going to start planning my own cab build. Laurin is too expensive, and though I might be willing to sell my machine and buy a new cabbed version, not looking like a sale of a used machine is going to happen. I'll be ready to get working on it next spring after another winter of snow removal, especially since I added a new 3pt blower to the arsenal for this season. May even get started on it this fall or winter, but not planning on having it for this year, so if I get it done before the season is over, that'd be a bonus.

I had retro fitted a Joedale Perry cab from a f series kubota to my kubota b7500 here is the thread.

I just about got the cab done, then found a Laurin cab built for the the b7500 at a very good price. I ended up selling the Perry cab to footer200's brother and putting on the Laurin. I'm sure footer will put the pictures up of the finished product when he's done. Keep your eyes open, you never know when a deal will pop up.

*UPDATE*
I went out and used the tractor today. All was going just fine. I was hooking onto my pallet forks and climbed back into the cab and looked out the right hand window and saw a odd impression in the snow. Upon further inspection I found that my lower right cab window had fallen off and was laying on the ground. Now I am nervous. that window was one of the first few to be installed. I sure hope they all don't do this.
