Quick Bobcat Fix Makes Entry/Exit Easier TRACTORS Modifications Dale McLaen has a quick fix for older Bobcats that makes it easier to get in and out of the cab “I have an old 743 with a cab and the bottom of the door seals against plates to either side of the tilt cylinder ” explains McLaen “It seals tight but those plates get in the way when you’re climbing in or getting out especially when wearing winter boots ” McLaen removed the plates and fabricated two 1/4-in thick semi-flexible flaps from a piece of rubber matting to match the gaps in the doorway “I spot welded 2 small pieces of 1/2-in angle iron to the bottom of the door ” says McLaen “Then I attached the vertical flaps across the width of the door with 1/4-in pop rivets They fit nicely and seal the openings when I close the door ” He found another benefit to the door flaps after installing them “Removing the steel plates also makes it easier to clean out the dirt and residue that builds up around the foot control pedals ” says McLaen Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Dale McLaen McLaen’s Service 13756 Hwy 11 Rutland N Dak 58067 ph 701 724-6232; mclaen@drtel net
