Matt,
As Rick appears to have the engine that came with the vehicle when he got it, I assume another engine is now fitted. If it is not a 28hp, then is a later 216? If so then there would be no reason to raise the cab. A few photos of engine would be good to see what it is.
Does not look like cab is lifted as it would not fit against front wings and bonnet. Would have to look at another to compare rear cab mounting.

regards, Richard
