Abstract
A wheeled work machine has a cab that is assembled with side panel assemblies that are each formed from two mating die formed side panel sections so that smoothly curved shapes, and recessed cross sections can be made. When the two panel sections are rigidly joined together, they form strong, bend and torsion resistant box sections for structural members around an operator access opening, as well as around an accessory opening. The inner one of the die formed panel sections includes flanges that extend inwardly toward the center portions of the cab for supporting cross panels such as seat supports, a roof, and a dash board assembly. The side panels and cross members are spot welded together to form a quickly made, smooth appearing, and very strong operator cab.
