Darren: After looking at your tractor here are some of the problems and criteria we used in positioning cab on the 656. We hung cab from ceiling on chain blocks and backed the tractor under it, with fenders removed. The back window being too close to operator was not the only reason for choosing forward-rearward poistion. Had we moved it more forward it would have had to go 5" to clear and place the fuel cap inside the cab. I didn't want the fuel cap inside the cab.
Second was up or down position. We first thought of straightening the plarform where it rises at clutch and brake pedals, cutting a section out of those forward floor panels to allow the padals to come up through. Then positioning cab so door sills were level with the complete floor. Doing this would have required cutting portion out of cab cross member below the back window, so the 3 point hitch could raise to full height without striking cab. Problem with this lower position, some 3 point equipment I used were going to interfere with back of cab. Didn't really want to cut any material out of cab cross member. Then we hoisted cab so door sill was level with ends of floor where pedals make contact, hitch came up under cab cross member to just inside, view was still good all the way around as well as up and down. We fitted completely new mounts at rear between axle and cab, clamped around axle housing as opposed to bolting down like the fenders. For front cab mounts we used 1/2x3x3 angle iron coming out at an angle from the clutch housing. An upright bolted to housing, then a flat piece of angle went back at an angle to cab. We put a gusset in the angle of the two angle irons.

The legs of inside calipers are curved outward at the extremities to facilitate measuring small holes, while outside caliper legs have a large curve inward to increase their capacity for large work. Firm-joint calipers are adjusted approximately by the hands and then set to the feel of the work by tapping them on a metal surface. It is a common practice when opening calipers by this means to tap the top of the joint. It is better, if possible, to tap the inside of the legs, as repeated blo
