A good project, will follow with interest.

This type of Secura cab, as fitted to David Brown tractors, was actually marketed as the David Brown 'luxury' cab and is the same cab fitted to Fords which they called the 'AP' cab. The standard cab had a higher roof panel but a lower, flatter roof was offered as an option to make it lower profile.

Quite true but David Brown were using the luxury Sekura cab in the 1970's, along with John Deere, Deutz and International. The same cab became an economy version in the 1980's with the Ford AP/LP cab and Deere LP cab.

Looking forward to the finished model.

Only just spotted this!

Good look with the job, you might have to take the tank back out as the sekura tank was different and the cab structure wont clear it.

The cab was also fitted to John Deeres as the OPU and Internationals such as the hydro84
