SGC Roof Replacement

2510Paul · Aug 10, 2017

I have to replace the roof on a 4055 SGC. There are about 10 rivets holding various hardware to the roof. Does anyone know what tool is used to install the rivets?

I have to look more closely but I am assuming they are a Pop Rivet, but I have to confirm. Maybe someone on here knows? I have a smaller Pop Rivet tool but I am sure it would not do those.

Thanks.

Have replaced several cab roofs now and a regular pop rivet gun works just fine.

I put some in with a regular rivet gun that had 2 size bits. The Deere rivets are pretty much same as other rivets with a big flange, just get the right length. What I know now, I would have removed whole underroof and resealed with that black sticky cord, some people call it dum-dum. Of course if you silicone it down and pop rivet it will stay stuck and waterproof if the rivets corrode. When the aluminum rivets get corroded they give it up. Its a '90 2555, dont know if they changed rivets down the line.

Thanks guys for the responses. Yes, once I looked at the actual size of the rivet I realized the tool I have may work or at worst I may have to go to the hardware store and buy a $20 rivet tool. The size of the head was throwing me off as you said. Sorry it was such a wimpy question.
