Food for thought.....I cut off the bolt just above the nut that extended into the fuel filler area. You'll find that the knuckles take a beating if you don't also file it down to remove the sharp metal after cutting the bolt.
Looks like a good installation....you'll be happy.

Thanks
Thought about cutting bolt, but that is one of two studs for the grab handle. I may take the cab off in the spring and would like to replace the grab handles, because I mow some pretty steep banks. I don't think I can mow the banks with the cab on do to being top heavy. I should get a rubber cap to place on the threaded stud.

Check the local electrical supply house. The larger gauge electrical wire has caps on the end of the wire when shipped. I also have found them on bolts at Lowe's & Home Depot in the department that sells the hardware for deck post. The guy there gave me a couple of them when I asked about buying them without the bolts. Then there is the vinyl liquid that you brush onto the tool handles that when it dries is soft and pliable.

Thanks for the pic's! It's quite similar to my Curtis. You should be really happy with this in the crummy weather! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ok, I'm very confused: why does it say, "This cab fits bare tractors (without a loader)." but the picture on Sims website clearly shows a Sims Standard Cab on a BX2200 with FEL(LA211)?

Like a lot of other companies they use one picture for many applications and put in a disclaimer. If you look at the very bottom of the page it displays the proper description and part number for the BX series with loader.
