    Lifting cab

    If the cab latch is leaking you probably won't be able to get the cab lifted, as hydraulic fluid will be pumped out of the cab latch. You have to lift the cab manually by crane or forklift or something.

    Door handle ? What to do ?

    Check your door catches, often they get worn, damaged, or dirty and put additional stress on the handle. Fixing or replacing the handle without addressing the root cause will result in a broken handle.
