I picked up my Curtis Cab from my NewHolland dealer yesterday. My son and I started the installation about 5:00 pm
and had it completed by about 8:00 pm. We havn't got to the windshield wiper, defroster fan or heater yet. That is probably going to wait until the weekend.
I was fairly impressed with the quality and fit of the cab. The installation instructions were clear although some of the pictures seem like they are a photocopy of a photocopy so that are not as good as they should be.
All of the holes lined up nicely so I didn't have to use a punch to help get the bolts through and the company sent a few extra bolts. That helps as we dropped a few.
On the TC40D cab you remove the warning/tail light fixture and attach it to the side of the cab. The holes are pre-drilled for this. Unfortunately, the holes were 1/4" instead of the 5/16" and they weren't spaced properly so a little modification was necessary.
Probably the only area I'm a little disappointed with is the canvas pieces that attach around the break pedals and the hydro pedals. The snaps aren't positioned properly so I can't get a tight seal. I think I will contact Curtis to get a replacement at least for the hydro pedal side.
I was pretty impressed. Of course like most add on cabs there is more noise but it was windy last night when I went for the maiden voyage and couldn't believe how comfortable I was. I can't wait to get the heater going.
I was planning on some pictures but the spouse has the camera somewhere. I will get some pictures hopefully this weekend.
