Looking to possibly take the cab off of a 4440, just curious if anyone knows of a good kit out there to make everything outdoor material instead of indoor, or if a person is better off just finding a different tractor or what the case is. Thanks in advance. |

Parts are scarce my friend. I am currently converting from a cab 4430 to an open station. Trust me you would believe how many little things are different. I know 4440 where all cab tractors, but i would imagine an earlier one would probably except 4430 parts. Me personally , next time i will just find an open station tractor. I still need a platform. Are you pulling this 4440? Polk equipment has a complete kit for sale, but you might want to sit down when you see the price. |

Ya it's for my friends tractor, I'm just trying to convince him to take the cab off of it. It's hard as hell to find anything, that's what I've found too. |

I've seen a few cab that where taking off, stripped down and the put back on. They looked pretty good, with enough time it can be down and almost look like a factory open. I know a 4440 early with the 3 3/8 axle are real similar to a 4430. Im a puriest in the sense that mine has to have factory parts........ never again will i do that. Not a big faan of wet clutches either. Found a 4320, that's gonna be the new winter "hot farm" project. |

Ya we were kinda thinking we wanted to make it look as factory as possible but if we got caught in a rainstorm, it wouldn't mess up anything. |

What is one of these complete open stations worth? I have one that I took off sitting here, figured it could collect dust for a few years before I decided what to do with it. |

Complete with all the brackets ? Ive seen them any where from 2500 to 5k depending on condition. Take a few pics and price it to sell, i guarentee it wont take long. 30 series stations fit a quite a few tractors. |
