I'm going to be putting a new liner kit in my K2 cab. I've seen 3 different manufacturers for the two piece kit. Has anyone done this to their cab? Where did you get a kit, and how was fit/quality? Thanks.

My dad did it to a K 20 years ago. You have to remove all the old stuff well, then you need to drop down the fan to put the new padding up. He did not buy the padding as a kit, he bought some foam rubber and cut it to shape. Still looked good many years later.

I got a cab kit for my 7050 that fit real good. From K & M manufacturing in MN. Price wise I don't know as I didn't shop around and that's who we dealt with when I worked at the CaseIH dealer. They are all over priced for what you get.

Thanks for the input all. I ordered the interior kit today. It is made by FEHR Cab Interiors. Check out their web site, quite impressive what all they have available and will custom make. Once I get started I'll try to post some photos. Jim

I got my K2 kit from Frehr along with their 3M adhesive spray can. One 3M can should easily do one cab. Procedure for installing the kit:

1. remove the seat & its frame at the floor.

2. remove the old torn upholstery pieces by hand.

3. using a 4" grinder with a wirebrush head, remove any foam that is still stuck.

4. size all your new pieces of foam to your rear wall & ceiling.

5. make sure you allow for an overlap at the ceiling/wall corner.

6. You do not need to remove the upper fan console.

7. When ready to begin adhesive, spray both the back of the foam & the surface.

8. I started at the top of the rear wall and worked toward the floor with new foam.

9. In doing the ceiling, start with foam from the wall working toward the upper console.

10. Don't glue the excess foam that folds into & under the upper console area.

11. Clean old floor out, rust proof with paint, then add new flooring over.

12. Re-install the seat & its frame.

13. KEEP MICE OUT, by cleaning out all of the leftover grain after harvest each year!!!
