Refurbishing a Sims Cab for a 3000 Series
I just picked up a Sims cab and a snow blower for my 3225. The cab is in decent shape but I'd like to fix a few things before assembling and installing it. The prices on the Cabdepot website are insane. Any advise on other sources for parts?
On one of the exterior chrome door handles, the handle itself broke in half, the previous owner put a piece of metal behind the two pieces and screwed it together (door on right in the pic, but not easy to see). Cabdepot wants $135 for a new handle. I found another website that several handles that looked the same ($20-$30), but not sure which one is correct. All the seals that mate the cab to the tractor need replaced, as well as the seals around the door frames. The seals around all of the windows are good, I'm only referring to the seals around the perimeter of the cab and doors. If I'm looking at the correct seal, Cabdepot price is $7 a foot. There aren't any swing stops on the doors, and I don't think they were ever put on the cab since new. There's no holes on the corner posts or doors where they would have been mounted, and the hinges on one side of the cab are bent back a bit from the door being overextended. The installation instructions are vague on how and where they're installed. If I could find a picture of them on a cab that would be a big help. I tried googling it but couldn't find anything. The cab has an interior light and a yellow strobe light on top. I'd like to replace the interior light with an LED light and also put a curved LED light bar on it. Will the tractor be able to handle an LED light bar? The wiper motor works fine (PN WWF12C19-1010) but the swing is short, maybe 45-65 degrees. It has an on/off slide switch on it and doesn't park, it just stops when the switch is turned off. Does anyone know if the swing is adjustable? Should the motor park when it's shut off? That's what I've come across so far but I'm sure there will be more when I start assembling and installing it. Thanks for the help guys. EDIT - sorry for the sideways picture, it's not that way on my PC. I guess I should have resized it before uploading.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
