Overview

The Kubota B01 Premium Cab (p/n: 1KB01PR) and Standard Cab (p/n: 1KB01ST) are aftermarket enclosures designed to fit Kubota tractor models B2301 and B2601. These cabs provide weather protection and enhance operator comfort.

Function Description:

The cabs enclose the operator's station, offering protection from the elements. They feature various components such as a roof, windshield, sideframes, doors, and rear panels/curtains. The Premium Cab includes additional features like a removable rear panel and a front wiper, while the Standard Cab utilizes a rear curtain. The design allows for adjustment and alignment to accommodate vehicle variations and ensure proper fitment. Safety warnings emphasize that the cab does not provide protection from rollovers, flying objects, or lightning.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Approximate Installation Time (excluding accessories):
    • Experienced Dealer Technician: 3.5 Hours
    • Average Dealer Technician: 4.5 Hours
    • Do-It-Yourself: 5.5 Hours
  • Approximate Product Specifications:
    • Floorboard to Roof Height: 62 inches
    • Weight: 290 lbs. (Premium Cab), 221 lbs. (Standard Cab)
    • Cab Width: 41 inches
  • Hardware: Various SAE and Metric fasteners are used, with specific torque specifications provided for different bolt sizes and property classes. For example, a 5/16-18 bolt (SAE Grade 5) has a torque range of 17-20.5 pounds-feet (23-28 Newton-Meters), while an M10 bolt (Metric Property Class 8.8, Course Thread) has a range of 34-40 pounds-feet (46.1-54.2 Newton-Meters). Plated Grade 8 bolts require a 15% torque reduction.
  • Wiring Harness: A switched power wiring harness (P/N: 9SV-WH-00004) is included, rated for 10 amps and two accessories maximum, featuring a 10A fuse.

Usage Features:

  • Pop-Out Windshield: Both cab versions come with a pop-out windshield for ventilation. To open, the latches are lifted and rotated to rest in the over-center position.
  • Lift-Off Doors: For added ventilation, the doors can be removed without tools. This involves disconnecting the gas shock, rotating the door 90 degrees, and lifting it off. Hinge washers should be stored safely.
  • Pop-Up Roof: The cab features a hinged and gas shock-supported roof, allowing for backhoe operation on B2301 & B2601 models and providing additional ventilation. To operate, press the yellow lever on the quick-release latches and pull down slightly on the grab handles. To lock, pull down on the plastic grab handles until each latch double-clicks.
  • Removable Rear Panel (Premium Cab Only): This feature facilitates backhoe operation. To remove, lift the pop-up roof, detach the underseat filler Velcro, release the two lower latches, and lift the panel from outside the cab. Reinstallation involves aligning the top pins with receivers and pushing in the lower corners for double latching.
  • Removable Rear Curtain (Standard Cab Only): Similar to the rear panel, the rear curtain can be removed for backhoe operation. This involves disengaging snaps on the rear panel header, detaching Velcro from the underseat filler and sideframes.

Maintenance Features:

  • Lubrication: Periodically re-apply lubrication (preferably grease) to door striker pins, door latch assemblies, and door hinges.
  • Hardware Check: Check and tighten all hardware after 40 hours of operation, and then periodically inspect and tighten for the remainder of the unit's life.
  • Cleaning:
    • Painted surfaces should be washed with commercial automotive cleaning products.
    • Glass windows can be cleaned with glass cleaner.
    • Acrylic windows (some cab windows are acrylic) must not be cleaned with harsh chemicals; use mild soap and water to prevent damage.
    • Vinyl components should be washed with a mild solution of warm soapy water.
    • Clear vinyl can be easily scratched; exercise care when cleaning frost or snow. Avoid rolling curtains in cold weather as they may stiffen and crack.
  • Seal Kit (Premium Cab Only): The seal kit includes flex brushes for sealing around floorboard mounts and differential lock levers. Proper installation involves ensuring the flattest side of the brush faces down and bristles butt up against each other without gaps or overlap.
  • Wiper Kit (Premium Cab Only; optional for Standard Cab): Includes a wiper motor, arm, and blade. Wiring involves running the loom through the windshield support and cowl, securing it with P-clips and self-drilling screws, and connecting it to the switched power harness.
