Toolcat F series dirty cab

[yellowdogsvc]

Anyone have an F series that leaks a lot of dust? My B series wasn't nearly as dirty.. After just a couple of hours moving dirt or grading, my F series is covered with dirt on the inside.
I know they moved the air conditioner filter to under the front, passenger wheel well.. That doesn't seem to be a good spot!

Anyone have the same experience or offer any suggestions? I didn't want to tear into all of the compartments and start taping things up but I may end up doing that if I want it to stay clean. My Bobcat cab, when running a mulcher, stays cleaner than this thing!

No problems with dust when mowing or moving dirt.


Our problem is that mice got in the cab over the winter, while not being used.

I wonder how the mice made it in there? That would be an entry point for dust for me.. I can't believe our dust would be finer than yours..
I literally spent hours upon hours looking for and sealing up my M series S750 cab and was hoping to avoid that with the Toolcat but it's either going to be that or hours getting the dust out and keeping it clean. One thing I did notice is the blower for the F series seems a lot more powerful than my B series or 750 for that matter. Not sure if it is, but it feels stronger. Maybe I'm pulling in the dust versus pressurizing the cab.

I think the dust would have to be coming in around the filter. My wife does most of the mowing and said "no problem with dust". She used it a lot last fall when it was dry and dusty in fact the air conditioner quit cooling because the coil on the left side completely filled with dust and dirt.

The mice had a nest in the central frame and followed the hoses and wiring on up into the cab. They ate the poison and went back to the nest to die. Sure does stink under there!

I've had mice nest in my chipper... luckily the wires were out of the way. It's always something! I try and start the machines often and keep a cat or two around.

Could dust be coming from under the center console? I would lift rubber boot around joystick and see if it is full of dust.
My cab is so tight I often crack window open to make it easier to close door?

I also notice that my F is a lot louder than my B was? Maybe it's not sealed as well and I have to wear ear plugs to listen to the radio where I didn't need them in the B series. I'm going to have to get into it and figure it out. I bought it to do a lot of mowing around the ranch and I dread mowing in it right now.
I still have a slight lean to the passenger side with a full bucket or attachment on and have to figure that out. I thought maybe the machine wasn't fully balanced with the motor on the passenger side? I have about 84 hours.. mostly just riding around carrying buckets of base and rock and doing some mowing in it so I don't think anything is damaged.

Still jealous of that dirt.

My "D" Series is the same way.
