    Are you referring to €1234 on the ad, don't know why they put that on but it means nothing. bet you it's not the price.
    Loads of ads have that price up

    Do they fit a 165?
    They look grand - just price what a cab refurbishment would be to compare with the preprepared cab.
    Are you tidying all the tractor when you are at it or are you just going to slap the cab on it?

    When we were looking a cab for an old zetor we were told that they were dismantled in Poland and then shipped over as the shipping costs were so big. So it might be that getting parts and letting a local restorer at it may work out cheaper.

    If it is a decent construction of a cab, you could get it resprayed along with your tractor before mounting it.
    Get a quote from your painter (if you are not doing it yourself) and then decide if cab+ respray is still sufficiently cheaper than the C&G cab.

    Is your current cab beyond salvage? 2200 would go a fair way on a cab refurb - especially that style of cab.

    Maybe it’s me out of tune but is €1600 not an awful lot for a cab when you’d a tractor for maybe €3k.

    It is, but when the new C&G cab is €3500 and upwards, it doesn't seem that bad, assuming it's solid of course.

    Don’t suppose that would go onto a 699, don’t know much about MF at all.

    I doubt it.... It would certainly require a lot of modification if it was to fit. The cab sat much higher on the 600 series (hence the flat floor) as opposed to the 100 or 200 series which is what that cab was made for.
