eddeere Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I got the cab off today it went better than expected. Thanks for all the good advise.I would like to remove the kick panels to remove the door hinges. I also dropped a wrench behind one. All the bolts that I can see are out but the panel will not come out. Any suggestions. Thanks.

hicrop10 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 You may have some rust holding it fast.Also check that theres not a spot weld holding it.I didn't remove mine but I can check on MOnday and let you know what's mine is hold in by.I see your from OHio are you going to have the cab dipped.The reason I ask is I think there is a company in Ohio that does that.Your cab looks to be in great shape.

eddeere Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Thanks Mike I opened the hinge looked inside found one bolt really hidden, that was it. Spent over an hour with this simple thing. I am not sure if I will sand blast the cab or have it dipped as I am going to have other parts , battery boxes ,fenders, and others dipped. American metal finishing ,Forest park, OH. north of Cincinnati is close to me .I have had a lot of tractor parts and plows done there with good results. However I understand there can be some problems with this on sheet metal where two parts are joined.

Popular Post eddeere Posted December 1, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2014 Albert the walls are 2x6 insulated. It is heated with a large add on wood stoves and celling fans to move the heat around and cool in summer. I also have a large window a/c. After 38 years in the paper industry working 7 days with the only day off you could count on was xmas I built this as a retirement present to myself. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37926-b-61-cab-removed-and-a-question/#findComment-268802 Share on other sites More sharing options...
