I welded a few pieces of flat stock to each half’s framework so that the two halves could be bolted together when installed on the tractor. Additionally, a couple of “tabs” were welded to the inside of the top rear half to index it in place when it rested on the alternate roll bar top. Some...

As usual, the hardest and more time consuming part is figuring out what to do. Once the front mounting points were established the rest started to fall into place quickly. In wanting to meet the goal of “easy on” & “easy off” I decided to build the cab in three separate pieces: rear half...

Unfortunately, I don’t have pictures to show my initial measurements, string lines, clamps and levels used to determine the layout and outside dimensions of the proposed cab. It took a few days just to determine what was needed and a few more to decide how to go about it. Then the real fun...

Here is my winter cab build for my new B2650 tractor. I wish I would have taken more pictures but with a mere two week timeframe to get the main structure completed, documenting every step with pictures wasn’t in the plans. Hopefully there’s enough to show what was done and if anyone wants...

Gosh, Muzzy, I don't know offhand. They were whatever the dealer recommended for this tractor. In fact I think it had the R4s on it when it was delivered and the Turfs came later. I'll try remember to look tomorrow and post back to you the sizes of each. One thing I found real interesting...

Thanks for the welcome, Jay! I agree this is a wonderful group of intelligent and fine people. I hope I don't lower the standards to much with my new membership. You guys set the bar pretty high for us newbies. :) I enjoy the pics as much as anyone no matter what the subject is also. I'm...

Thank you! I agree. I have about 18 acres here to take care of, and some land in a few other places. Couldn't do it without a compact tractor and a multitude of implements to go with it.

Thank you!

Sorry, I can't claim to have any actual bird dogs. I can only claim to have a Norwegian surname that some former coworkers had trouble pronouncing (even after many years!) and long ago one of them hung this nick name on me and it sort of stuck. I was happy they didn't come up with something a...

Thanks for the warm welcome! Much appreciated!! I'll have to gather some pictures and put them together and post a few additions I've made since my new "friend" arrived. I'm sure some of the B2650 owners would be interested especially.

I had been looking for something to replace my older JD750MFWD that I had purchased new in 1985. It still runs strong but it's front wheel assist was starting to give me troubles. After quite a bit of thought, looking at different brands and finding this great website....I took delivery of this...
