721 Bobcat help on flipping the cab over

[Mnfish]

I just bought this 721 and the cab on this thing is very heavy and pretty much impossible for me to pull back by myself. I hooked up the ATV winch to it and pulled it back but is there another way to pull it back so I can see the hydraulics under it? And how do you keep it from going too far in case you do? I put a steel bar across it in front to prevent it from going too far but is there another way t hold it there? I'm guessing I'm missing some stuff on it? The manual shows nothing on how to move it

On the back lower corner of the rops you'll see some bracketry welded on, this was for a hydraulic jack type lifter similar to those used on COE trucks. Most of the jacks are long gone, when I need to raise my cage I use a come-a-long from the top bucket edge and a piece of pipe to keep it in the right position. I also string a safety chain along side the winch; only takes a couple minutes and really adds a comfort factor.
Here's a pic of what they are supposed to look like...

Ah.. Yes long gone I'm sure. I may just weld a cheap quick disconnect atv winch bracket to the back of the bucket and when I have to pull the cab just hook up the winch and run the cable up around the cab top and pull it up that way. I'll also run a wire to the battery with a quick disconnect. And then a safety chain like you have for safety

Cab jack on my 722 is long gone too. I just hook a chain to the front lip of the cab and the other end to my truck. Works great and it's not going to fall.
