My Iseki Bolens cab project

[ampa]

Thank you Amanda....I seen where one member made a cab where the front wing/windshield lifted up and out of the way....like you mentioned having the whole cab tilt upwards would work as well....

maybe another idea would be to install a coulple of regular hydraulic jack cylinders to ease in lifting the whole cab upwards using a rear hinge...I think that even though you used 1" sqaure tubing your cab it would still have some weight to it....

yes I also found it quite easy to remove the whole hood. when I painted mine coulple of years ago...needs redoin' now I have my new compressor up and runnin'....last year I was looking at an old Case International 255 that had a section behind the hood and the steering wheel....where installing a cab would not be in the way of opening the hood....but then again....

I like the short stubby look of the ISEKI....if and when you decied to modify yours would it be possible to share the info for us ISEKI owners?....Happy Holidays....take care Ampa :thumbsup:

Very nice cab build . I also have a 2wd H-1502 . I am in the process of retrofitting a 54" JD 4 way hydraulic plow onto it , hope to be done by the time snow arrives this year . I plan on building a cab also similar to yours with the high visibility as a priority .

Nice looking cab project. I have a rear 3pt blade for my 19 hp 2wd with turf tires. I tried it in snow on my driveway 3-4 years ago. I couldn't get any traction and just slipped all over. Perhaps wheel chains or narrow lug tires would have helped. My driveway is not flat but not a big grade either.
