806 with a Diamond Cab

[Rick G.]

Found this pic on line. Looks good. Also notice front fenders. Also notice side windows that open. What brand of cab was this? 

[brewcrew]

Looks like aftermarket, but in those days there were many companies building them, some of which were regional only.

Pretty neat. Lower door area/window looks wider than on a factory Diamond, or hiniker, or year-a-round 

[fudwayne]

Looks like the cab has mounted fenders

I believe the cab was built by the company who built the 'diamond' and 'custom' cab for IH.  Looks very similar to the 'custom' cab on my 1066.  Like the opening windows.

[stronger800]

certainly close.

Although the window  wiper is parked to the  Left, mines to the Right, totally different

White duals wheels would be aftermarket also. Not sure when DMI started but their duals were white. Were M&W wheels white?  I know their adapters were.

They were on Dad’s D-21. I would guess the cab is an Egging made in western Nebraska.

That tractor looks mean with those duals.

Similar to this . Several brands that look close to each other . Hinker was still selling them in the 80s . Least I have the pamphlet

Never saw any with fenders like that . Almost look like Oliver remanufactured.

i have seen many variations trying to find used parts or something that might fit the one on my 706, ansel, hinson, hiniker, cozy, diamond wasnt a brand it was a style, excel, year a round, Saf Tee and i cant remember the one that made the ice box cabs, what i can say is there are more that were small lots and some had different style of heaters up in the roof and some had AC options on top or in the rear like the 1066 cabs 

to find pieces/parts is a little hard and you will likely need to fabricate your own from pictures or just fitment on the job

some of the cab bases allow for factory fenders to be used and the cab slides between them, some have fender extensions on the sides, some have bolt on extensions, its a hodge podge of styles and options. 

the steps availble for all these styles of cabs are about as different as the rubber seals, latch styles, and sheet metal cover variations inside

Now you guys are really making me want my 806 back.   It had a Full Vision cab.

I stand corrected.  It is close but no cigar.

I actually like the 'custom' cab.  Too bad mine is rotting out so bad.  It has holes rusted in the roof of the cab...

An exel

That rear window on Rick’s is pretty neat the way it turns out
