I went to their site and read, " Front windshield ihas glass coating so adding a wiper is no problem. "

Can you explain to me what "glass coating" means?
The front windshield is a little thicker than the rest of the cab windows. Seems to be a little more stiff as well. I’m guessing it has a layer of glass which allows the wiper to be used on it. I didn’t get that option.

There is a guy on FB that just built a really slick cab for his 2501. Took him around a week to build it, He even added heat and AC to it. IIRC, he said he had right around $600 in just the cab materials.

I wonder how long it took him to make?

Is it removable or a permanent situation? Curious. :D
I’m sure it COULD be removed but I doubt it would be a simple task. He’s got a dash built inside with EGT gauges and other stuff like a fuse panel, radio, etc. he built a turbo for it and upgraded the alternator to IIRC 130 amp to handle the heat and AC unit he ordered for it. I think he said the back of the cab was a bus window. He’s got several videos up on his build. He’s a very talented guy who does quick, very clean work. I’ve really enjoyed his videos.

I know some are looking for cabs for your TLB's. Our M62 has a cab. Easy to install, replacement parts are available, and they have quite a few for the different model TLB's. Cover My Tractor is great and it is a quality cab. Everything is made here in the US so there is a lead time. Just check with them what the lead time is. This cab is easy on and easy off. Comes with a storage bag for taking it off during the winter months.
I know you have only had your "cover" for a short time, just wondering if you have anything new to report?

Well I decided to buy the Curtis for my L47.
I like it so far.
It’s a little noisy compared to the open station, but I expected that.
No AC but the doors lift off and some of the windows do too.

It appears to be well made.

Pics of the right side from a few different angles. No one ever seems to post pics of that side. Even Curtis.

That has to be one of the best looking aftermarket cabs I've ever seen. Very nice! (y)

It is indeed a nice looking cab! Did you install it yourself? If so, how long did it take? any complications? Thanks!

I knew I’d need help lifting/installing some of the large panels.
I thought it best just to let my dealer take care of installation. They had never installed one before but did a good job.

It did take them a little longer than Curtis suggests, 14 hrs instead of 10, but that’s the way it goes.

Curtis did send the wrong panel for my rear remote kit, so that caused a short delay.
All in all I’m happy with the installation and glad I didn’t attempt it myself.

I wanted to install some sound/heat insulation under the floor. I would have had to hire that out too, so I decided to skip it. We’ll see how that works out.
