BODY IB-43
Fold the Everseal over edge of glass, apply No. 30
weight motor oil on the outside of the Everseal and
press latch onto the glass. If it is necessary to use
mallet or hammer to position latch, tap lightly. Too
hard a blow could chip or break glass or cause the
clip to open up slightly thus reducing the grip on
glass. The Everseal should be allowed to setup a
few hours before too much pressure is applied to it.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The tilt cab bodies are of all steel welded construction
fully surrounding the engine, and can be tilted 55 degrees
to expose engine for servicing. The cab tilting mecha­
nism is integral with cab front mountings and tilting is
accomplished by means of a torsion bar extending across
cab front hinge mountings. Raising or lowering is virtu­
ally effortless since the preloaded torsion bar counter­
balances the weight of the cab. The cab is retained in
lowered (operating) position by a positive locking mecha­
nism located at rear of cab (fig. 100).
Access for minor engine servicing, such as oil and en­
gine coolant, is accomplished without tilting cab, through
access doors in panel at the rear of passenger seat and
on top of seat back riser. A central island control panel
(fig. 101) is located between the seats.
Control panel contains transmission shift lever, hand
brake lever, ignition switch and choke.
At upper rear of cab a seat back riser extends entire
width of cab.
The underside of cab is completely insulated to deaden
sound and prevent corrosion.
