1070 making one out of two

Determined · May 4, 2017

Spent the day pulling tires and cabs off of a couple of 1070's.
One was a standard that was in a fire and the other was a power shift with a bad engine.

Couple of questions

-One of the full/low glass windows was leaking on the burnt tractor.
How do you remove these glass bulbs in one piece?

-Got the burnt cab off with a bale spike, the good cab is ready to lift off, should I chain up all 4 corners of the cab or will it balance reasonably well off the front 2 bolt holes?
I am removing cab, fenders and console as one piece.

those glass bulbs shoould take a socket and screw rite out ,,.or so i have been told ,.mine on my 1070 need cleaning too,ritey -
titey , and leftie Lucy , simple pipe plug so dont get anxious about breaking the glass ,. if you are one piecing the cab
,fenders ect, the floor will have to come with it the way i see it ,,. if you have ever had sumthin precious fall and go to
ruin on you,,.i think this is one to make sure you do it rite ,.besides you are gonna have helpers under there,unless you are
like alot of us here that do EVERYdamTHANG by themselves . at that rate you still must be careful that you or someone you love
dont become a statistic ..

All 4 corners is how I did mine. They are heavy and do not balance where you think they should.

On removing the cab, I agree use 4 points. Using 2, the weak point is with the threaded holes.
Use good lifting eyes or brackets. Cheap eyes that size are at their weight limit.
