hoist ideas for cab removal

[Redbug]

How can we make something so simple so hard! I think what Iron says is simplest. Then you can lower it to the ground, (or a dolly), to store away. Even use your loader to lift it after taking it off to move around.

Otherwise, I vote for the trackhoe!

Maybe for safety sake , a small chain hanging from the beam a couple of foot to one side of the rope pulley . It could be slung under the cab roof and onto a hook on the beam on the other side of the rope pulley .

Thanks for all the advice and reminding me of safety.Igot it done.Itook one of the posters advice and put a pipe to span several trusses.Iused my chain falls ,with a blanket on the roof to catch the spinning chain,and was able to hoist it high enough to clear the hood.Ithen reached in started the tractor,and pushed the hst pedal and backed out from under it.Ithen lowered it onto a large pallet,now i can move it around with my pallet forks.THANKS DAVID!!,a pipe is light,and easy to get up there,but distributed the load,good idea
The hoist worked so well,when i brought my new 3 point blower home ,i backed my truck under,used a sling and did the same thing,drove out from under it and then lowered it to the ground.Ithink ill leave the chain falls there its pretty handy.
