Bobcat 632 F series door

[cdmccul]

So I have an older 632, and I'm in the process of updating it.

I bought it with a dead hour meter showing 3148, but I knew the previous owner before he died. I bought it from the estate. I know it got a new motor (1.6 Ford Kent), and it new Firestone ave a new Bobcat seat at that time.

I rebuilt the carb on it, several times, before finding a gent on YouTube that showed how the carbs warp. Milled the carb flat, runs nice now. New electric fuel pump, away go!

Now I'm wanting to install heat and a door. The cab already had a pair of plexi side windows and a back window, and I added a top window of the same material.

So now a door... I bought a set of door hardware from skidsteerdoors.com so I have hinges, a handle, and strike bolt. I will make a door out of plexi to hold the hardware and add a door seal around it.

But - I need the filler for the bottom of the door. I found a salvage yard that claimed to have it, but they sent me the wrong part. Refund on the way, thankfully.

I need part number 6555060. Anybody got one? They should be the same on round/rectangular light 520, 530, 630, 631, 632, and 732 machines.

Or does anybody have any good pictures of them they would share? I have access to hand tools and a welder... Possibly a sheet metal brake. I'd like to know how high above the cylinder guard I have to be to miss the door.

Pictures to come later!

Well, I built my door. I screwed up some math, however. But, nothing a little redneck engineering won't fix!

Here's a few preview shots.

Happy to answer any questions.

One consideration for building a door is "emergency" exit.

I built my own door out of old Lexan from a police station remodel (3/4" thick, bullet resistant). One of the considerations that I made was to make sure that I could remove the door from the inside.

This came in handy when I had the lift arms up and a tilt hose blew out. The door kept me from being sprayed with high pressure hydraulic oil. The problem was that the blade I had attached was now in the down position and the arms could not be lowered enough to get the door open without flipping the skid steer.

Luckily, all I had to do was lift the door off the hinges to get out. If I had not designed the door this way I would have had to pop out the back window and then replace it.

The door hardware kit I used came from "skidsteerdoors.com" (was overstock or otherwise unused hardware). It included half barrel hinges. So yes, all I have to do is pop the door latch and then lift off.
