Read articles →This is a narrow how-to, not a tractor review: it shows how to remove the side engine panel on a 1025R or 1023E after a Curtis cab has been installed, since the cab changes the normal removal steps. It's a short demonstration covering unbolting the front, sliding the panel to disengage the rear, and reversing the process for reinstallation. Useful specifically for cab-equipped owners needing engine panel access for maintenance.
Posted by Curtis Industries LLC, a cab manufacturer, so the video is a practical support demo tied to their own product rather than an independent review.
Open the hood, pull the front bolt, slide the panel back to disengage from the rear, then keep pulling the back out to slide it right off.
The steps are the same as without a cab: pull the front bolt and slide the panel back to disengage the rear, then slide it off.
Installation is the reverse of the removal process.
