how do i split the OROPES on a L565

[heatpumpproducts]

Hello, Kier here again,i love asking the hard questions ? has any one split the an enclosed cabin from the frame , is the only something a pro should do or is the more than a one man job?

If you go down to the [Reviews Forum]There is a thread The title is Ls160 The author is skidsteer ca. There is good answer too your question. That isnt the same model you have but the procedure for tilting the cab is the same.
Just a suggestion. When you get some spare time. If you read all three pages of threads and posts in the New Holland Forum. Theres a lot to be learned. Model numbers may be different but a lot about the machine is the same.Mike

I updated this with some photos
Remove any attachments.
Lift the boom and lock it in the up position.
Remove the fenders and all but the front large bolts (leave one on each side for a pivot point, do loosen them though) that hold the cab to the frame.
Unhook the park brake linkage under the cab by removing the 2 cotter pins (one on each side)

Unhook the hoses to your heater (if you have one)
Now hook a come along from the loader quick attach to the front tie down loop between the front tires.

Hook your chain hoist to the quick attach from above so when the come along pulls the cab over center the chain hoist catches it as it begins to FALL forward. Tape the hook(s) so the chain hoist cannot come unhooked.
Remember that you will be in front (hopefully only near)of the falling cab and loader boom and the chain hoist is holding the cab from falling on you as you operate the come along.
Now begin to pull the cab forward with the come along, you won't have to pull extremly hard, so if its not coming up find out why.

Once the rear of the cab is up 15" it is at the balancing point, just past this and the hoist catches the load and can be lowered safely down onto a jack stand/

Steve.
You can get a vehicle in front of the skid steer and one behind.A chain going from each vehicle to the boom thats locked in the up position. Use one to pull back while the one on the other side gives some slack but is there to take the load when the weight of the cab shifts over center. Then the boom can be supported with something .
This method worked for me in a field. I then took a come along and went from the boom to the cab to be sure it was held tight against the boom locks. Mike

The dealers use what is called a cab jack kit. Its listed on Messicks under accesorys. Not cheap. But it does have a bracket that holds everything in position. Whatever you do be sure it cant hinge down on you. [Safety First.] Mike
