Deere 318D Cab Door

[kroog]

I bought a Deere 318D with cab heat and A/C. Nice little machine. I would like to remove the door to run in the cool weather, but need to know how to bypass the door switch. the OMM states you have to have the door to run the hydraulics. Any suggestions?

We had a Deere 323D and they broke the top hinge pin. We just disconnected the wiring and the door closer. The machine ran fine without the door. I think when it's disconnected the system no longer looks to have the door latched.

Yes. I read in the OMM if you disconnect the wiper harness, it diables the door sensor. I will give it a try this weekend. Thanks for the help.
