[QUOTE="thetool, post: 25766, member: 1534"] A little late, Don. I've done it a few times. It's harder to get it back together than it is to install and tilt, because of the front cab mounting bolts. They just do not want to line up when the cab swings back down. They are designed to lign up with the cab dropping straight down at assembly is my guess. If I had a 442, I would intsall the tilt kit and leave the hinges in place, remove the studs at the front corners of the cab, and forget about the front mounts. I think. I don't see the cab bouncing aroung without the front mounts, if the hinges are in place. It should be standard, IMO. Other than weird fittings(DIN Heavy), a girly thumb, and some prone-to-melting plasticy stuff in the engine compartment that is too close to the muffler, I don't think the 442 or it's Terex/Schaeff IR Volo equivalent is a bad machine. The owners and operators I have chatted with like them. Yeah, parts are a killer.... [/QUOTE]
