Removing Cab from a Grand L 40

[Workerbee]

Can anybody point out a thread that deals with this? I tried the search function, but it says ‘cab’ is too short a word and not included in results.

The 3240HSTC-1 is starting to seep pretty good from that weep hole in the clutch housing, so one of these days we will have to split it to replace seals.

What would be the general procedure to remove the cab?

Do you have a gantry or overhead crane?
That's the best options for removal.

No, but do have acess to a smaller truck mounted crane. Where would lifting points be?

If you look at pages 2-S11 to 2-S20 in the WSM, it tell you every detail you need to know to split it, and has pictures of the cab being lifted with straps.

I had a look at the wsm regarding the cab removal.
It looks like a frame is used to support 4 lifting straps? Has anyone here done this , and could comment if its a neccesity to weld up a frame, or can 4 longer equal length straps be used from one ring?

To borrow and use the crane, itd be neccesary to complete the job in 2-3 days. We would do whatever dissasembly we could before bringing the crane in.

So does anyone have a list of which parts should be replaced? The tractor has approx 400 hours and no other issues noted except the hydraulic leak out the bottom. Clutch seems real good, etc. Id like to get all likely parts on hand before starting.
