Combines K2 cab upholstery

I replaced the interior in my N6 a couple years ago and it does take time and effort to do a good job. Scrape as much of the old interior off of the steel and then use glue remover to clean it the rest of the way. Outside with door and window open is best taking many breaks(fumes). My kit was precut and only went a couple inches into the console area so sliding it in first seemed to be the best before applying the glue. There are several grades of glue, get the strongest_best or you won't be happy in a couple years. Apply the glue as directed and make sure everything is lined up the first time, the glue doesn't give second chances. Set in place then roll with any device similar to a rolling pin to attach all areas of the new foam_vinyl. I would not recommend carpet remnants for the floor. Combines work in way too much dust and dirt and carpet will hold the dirt where the rubber_foam will clean much easier. And I found from experience that the carpet doesn't deaden the sound as well as the rubber_foam does. My kit came from "Hy capacity" and looks identical to original. I am very pleased with the way my install went and has lasted. My dealer did an excellent job of instructing me on the process. Good luck!

I did it the hard way, cutting my own from Shoup kit to save $$. looks OK but I like perfection. Buy the pre cut kit, it will save you time and gnashing of teeth. Take out seat(pop vein in neck)and get fan to push glue fumes out cab...they are pretty strong. Do not need to mess with console above. You do FIRST plots with the K2 don't youIJ I run plots with a K2 for lG Seeds.The upholstery I have not had any problems. Good luck

Yes, I manage the FIRST plots in Central and Southern Illinois. I have a 1977 K2 shortback that I have been running since 2000 - I really like it. I have a couple of 1978 K2 I trying to get setup for plots as well and they both need cab foam. You don't know where we could find a good K2 diesel do youIJ

I have a 81 K2 Corn Plus long back gasser. looked for diesel never found one. On occasion they show in FarmWorld paper. Most seem to be in OH for some reason. They sold quite a few over there apparently. I do plots at another farm with a 77 K short back, which has given me the least maintenance problems. Both are great to run plots.
