8. ROOF
8.1 If installing an optional hard rear panel, remove the
six soft rear curtain snaps pre-assembled onto the back
surface of the roof. Discard the snaps.
8.2 Use a Phillips head screwdriver to punch a hole
through the headliner at all of the covered bolt hole loca-
tions (10 places). Punch holes from the inside out to
avoid having the headliner pull away from its glued sur-
face.
8.3 With assistance, install the roof oriented so the re-
flectors are towards the rear of the tractor. If installing an
optional hard rear panel, the back of the roof must go
over the tops of the rear legs and the rear window panel
so they are contained. Slide the roof as far forward as it
will go. Per fig. 8.3, use the following hardware in the
front corners: one 5/16-18 x 1” long button head bolt,
two steel washers, one plastic washer, and one locknut
(locknuts on the inside surface). Install the bolt through
the roof, windshield support, and mounting tab.
8.4 The rear corners and the middle side bolt locations
use the following hardware per side: two 5/16-18 x 3/4”
long button head bolts, two steel washer, and two plastic
washer. These bolts are installed into factory installed
threaded inserts in the top of each side frame.
NOTE
:
use caution to avoid damaging the internal threads on the
factory installed threaded inserts.
8.5 The remaining four holes use the following hard-
ware: four 5/16-18 x 3/4” long button head bolts, 8 steel
washers, 4 plastic washers, and 4 locknuts. Locknuts to
be on the inside surface. Note: the two middle rear bolts
(see fig. 8.5) are used for both hard or soft rear panels.
When installing the standard soft rear panel, the bolts
serve only as weather plugs in the existing roof holes.
8.6 Tighten all roof and all cab bolts at this time. Note:
do not overtighten the two M8 metric bolts on the fender
of the tractor. No need to overcompress the 1/4” thick
rubber washers.
