1992 743B

i just upgraded from an old 720 to this 1992 743B. been looking it over. trying to figure out how to get the cab raised. the po had spayed foam around the cab to seal it. do u just lift the cab from the front and how does it stay up?

Remove the nuts inside the front uprights of the cab(one on each side). Then lift the front of the cab up and over center. The older 743's had springs on the pivot shaft and the newer one had gas shocks to help raise it. If the bucket is not on it you'll need to put jack stands or blocks under the rear of the machine to prevent the weight of the cab from tipping it back on it's butt.

Eat a bowl of Wheaties and lift. It will will only stay lifted when its all the way lifted and the highest piece will be quite high.
