Crenlo cab information

[Hoeyboyx4]

Couple of questions here if I can...

1.) Does anyone have an information on Crenlo cabs that would have fit a JD 3020? Were there different Crenlo models? Have called the company and they do not keep any information from "ago".

2.) Would said cab from a 3020 fit onto a 2020 without re-inventing the wheel?

Thanks in advance,

It could be made to fit,but it will be alot of work. The 3020 has a flat platform, where on the 2020 you straddle the trans. You will have to cut and fit a lot of sheet metal,and probably doctor the mounts to make it work and maintain some head room, and maintain some amount of serviceability if you need to get to the batteries, dash area or lines.

Are you thinking of maybe a Hiniker or Year-A-Round cab instead of a Crenlo model? I don't remember them making cabs for Deere Ag until the Sound Guard style came out in the early seventies. Crenlo also built the similar looking cabs for the White brand tractors.

Nope, I already have the 2020, that is the platform that small-time haying will be built around and I'd prefer to plow snow in the relative comfort of a cab. I'm no shrinking violet, so if this is not a good fit, the sun will come out tomorrow.

This cab came off of a JD 3020, I am just wondering what if any modding will need to be done if it is to be fit to the 2020.

Thanks, the flat platform vs. straddling made sense to me.

Maybe I should just get a 4020 and be done with it? If I did, then I would need a couch to sleep on as the Mrs. would surely boot me...

JOHN Deere factory installed 2 cabs before the sound guard body came out. One was a big old box affair manufactured Stopher Co. and the other one was Crenlo Co.

Actually, there were several cabs available before Deere's own Sound Gard. I believe the very early cabs might have been made by Egging. There was also a Crenlo version or perhaps two. The early cabs were all green. I have pictures of them when they were introduced. I'm not sure if Crenlo was who made the BIG box cab or not. In the late 60's Stolper made the first Roll-Gard cabs and then in '71 Hinson made their version of the RG cab. There were many cabs before SG. Mike

Hey while you guys are on the subject, I have a "72" 4320 with a rollguard cab. What cab would that have and how to tell the difference. Thanks, Denny

That would be a Hinson cab. None of the 4320's would have had anything else on them. Easiest way to tell the difference between a Hinson and a Stolper from a distance is the yellow roof on a Stolper is tapered from front to back just like the canopy on a regular Roll Gard. In fact, that is what it looks like. The Hinson roof is parallel front to back. Mike
