HI Alex
Your work on straightening the cab frame is impressive. I tried with a 10 ton Porta power and several Jacks to straighten the cab frame on my Pat 12 without success even with the sections needing to bend heated to bright red with a large carbon arc tourch. It just never occurred to cut out one side of the angle irons. My cab would still bee crooked if Bob C. had not brought me a straight cab frame. Very informative set of posts. Cheers Phil

The cab frame on my cab 11 was or is still bent . The drivers side wing would not sit level- it sat at a upward angle . I had to make a wedge shaped riser in order to level out the wing . I really could not work out why or how it became bent.... I think these frames were bent from new. The jig at the factory may have had a misalignment problem.
BTW your welding is excellent ..wish I could weld like that
