Curtis cab removal for the Summer

[stu19511]

I am planning on buying a 1025r John Deere 2015. It has 85hrs and has a Curtis hard cab installed.
I would like to remove the cab for summer mowing and loader work.
How big of a job is it to remove the cab?

If it's anything like mine (hard cab, steel doors), it'll be a major project.
You can remove the doors, front and rear windows...might be a better option than complete removal of the cab.
A picture of yours might help....a picture of mine is below.





BTW, I didn't get an installation manual when I bought the 4520...I hope you do.

I remove the doors, rear panel, electrical connector and heater hoses. Then unbolt the cab from the tractor and lift it off with an electric hoist and store it on the second floor of my barn. Takes about an hour on and off. I flip it on its roof and put it on a furniture dolly so I can move it around. I used to disassemble the complete cab and store it in pieces. Took several hours.

Thank you Labrat for your input! That's what I am going to do.

I just take the doors off mine, they just lift off. This gives me shade to work in through the summer.

I thought I would remove the cab but found I didn't need to.

I have a heater and lights, full hard side model.
