Is it just the 4 visible bolts holding the roof on the 2600 series models? I want to upgrade the work lights on my 2665 to LEDs, and the connectors are inside the headliner in the cab. Roof removal seems the easiest. I see 2 up front and 2 more in the middle of the cab, just forward of the cab filters. Any more I need to find?

Since I seem to answer most of own questions on this forum, I thought I'd share there are 5 bolts, 2 each on the front corners, each side at the door seam, and a fifth center rear, under the rubber shield. The latch block for the roof hatch comes off with 2 screws, then the 10 buttons holding the headliner in the hatch opening. The rubber hatch seal lifts off, it's a press fit. Roof is free after that.

Bought a set of these off Amazon
Nilight - 60002F-C 4PCS 36W 6.5... Amazon.com. The connectors on the tractor are common 4.5m bullet connectors, you can buy a bag of them cheap off Amazon as well. Lights come with their own brackets, crimp and heat shrink the connectors and it's plug and play. Huge step up from the stock halogens. I might actually see where I'm going in the dark.

Next up, high output LEDs for the headlights. And maybe adjust the horn so I don't giggle everytime I use it
