I just had a look at mine and it doesn't look too easy to replace, i had the same problem with a siku tractor and when i tried to replace it i broke the other one as it split in the same place as before, so if i were you i would perhaps email universal hobbies, tell them what's happened and then maybe see what they can do about it, someone may have a better idea but that's just what i'd do.

Tractorman810 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 from memory , when i took one apart a long time ago, the cab arms on the atles are glued into the holes on the floorpan/platform area, so if you get a good sharp knife and remove the bits on the underside of the arches the remaining bits of the arms will drop out, you may need to remove the rear wheels to do this, but they are just hold each side, and twist opposite ways to eachother, while pulling them apart, you may also find a small screw that attaches the front part of the cab to the underside of the bonnet, a lot of uh models are like this, but i cant remember if the atles is sadly ,where a replacement cab can be sourced i am not to sure, a lot of these early uh tractors were taken apart for the front linkages or wheels / tyres, so someone on here may have on laying around, i will check and see if i do , but can not guarantee it mind, must have been a good 6 years ago or more i destroyed mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
