Modifying Massey 1010 Cab to Fit Lawn&Garden Tractor, Pictures included, help needed

Well,

I was considering buying this cab, but am thinking agenst it now, I thought I could mod it to fit onto one of my tractors, Here are the pics

Massey's measurements are as follows

Wheelbase: 50.8 inches [129 cm]
Length: 85 inches [215 cm]
Width: 41.9 inches [106 cm]

That is of the whole tractor, So judging by the photos, You can get a rough idea, The width still stands as the width for the cab though.

Will post measurements for the sears in a min

Width of my tractor 30 1/2 inches

Total Length of my tractor 63 inches.

Should I still go ahead and buy the cab? Its 100.00 even no tax

ROFL, Yeah that would do it TG :banghead3: lol.

I am gonna build something to rise it a bit, Then put in a radio and hook the lights, Now the question, Will my alt withstand a radio and the extra lights?

Ran into a problem, Muffler is in the way. and there is not really a place to mount it. If I measure from front to back the clutch pedal also gets in the way when depressed. And it appears it will be a tight fit when i get the front on as the dash is quite wide. Not sure what I am going to do.

Not mounted yet, Was just test fitting it on my sears with no engine, Same frame and clutch pedal so I can fit it.

Ok, Another issue, Seat is to far back, And I am not able to move it foward any, Either I have to extend the "fender pan" or something. Also, Gas tank filler will be in the way as well. Any ideas guys?

Ok,

The sides are bent in that have that angle for the riser, They now go under the cab. It was mounted to the Massey that way. Should i straighten them? There is no bottom if I make them straight.

Also how can I make one of the bottom angle parts?

Thanks KC & Tudor. I am slightly considering changing the body/frame that this cab is gonna go on, if I only could find a complete body/frame for a garden tractor to drop my engine in and maybe trans
