Cab for ih 560 diesel

[waugh621]

There is a pretty good deal on an ih 560 at a dealer near me. Is there a cab that fits them that is pretty easy to find. I dont need on with heat or nothing just somthing to keep the wind off in the winter.

I know. I don’t even remember what show I was at when I saw them. Guy had 2. I think the other was a 460. Had to do a double take when I walked by. Pretty slick setup.

Have you called All States Ag Part to see if they might have something in one of their yards?

I have not. I talked to the sales man today and posted my question. A.S.A.P is on my list of calls as well as a local salvage yard. I have never tried a project like this and was looking for ideas and guidence. Thanks to all who have posted so far

I don't know what kind of fabricating skills you have but back in the 70s I helped design the cab mounts for Hiniker cab. The basic shell of any cab manufacturer is the same. The only difference is the mounts and the filler plates. Find yourself a cab, take the doors and windows out, hang it from your shop crane or tree limb with a chain hoist. Take the fenders off your tractor and let the cab down over the top. Now make some mounts for the 4 corners. Next fashion some filler plates out of cardboard and transfer them to some tin. There are holes all around the base of the cab to bolt the filler plates in. Then put the doors and windows back on and presto, cab on the 560.

Short answer to your question is "No."

Anything that was made "for" the 560 you wouldn't want anyway. Need to be a gymnast to get in and out, not conducive to stiff old bodies if that's your current status.

With the rearward seating position of a 560 adapting a newer cab like the Hiniker that Flying Belgian suggested, may be challenging. Those cabs are designed for the more forward seating position of newer tractors where the seat is more or less centered over the rear axle. On the 560 you're right even with the rear of the tractor.. Sure you can slide the cab back but then the doors are pinched between the rear wheels and there's no way to get in and out except to climb through the back window.

Another view of the back. Sold this tractor and bought a Kubota, easier to get in and out of.
