spoke to guru (dad) about the cascade thing and he said you cant get 1000rpm out of a non cascade box, not without revving its nuts off. but if you do have a cascade box it doesnt matter what gear the cascade box is in, youll have 1000 rpm. :)

 I just found that in the manual. 2.2.8 - 540/1000 only in conjunction with cascade and/or cascade housing... how do you get the housing without the box?!

from what i understand, when it says "cascade housing" the gears are in the box, but there is no selector there.

 Well that's just daft! Why would you put all that engineering into something and then not put another basic bit in so it will work?!

as daft as it sounds, coz its easier to put it all in and leave a bit out, than put some of it in and then have to add more to it. plus its easier to put a bigger price tag on for a handle than half a gear box :D

 I guess it's good from our point of view now as the fitting is easier!

 Is it much of a job to tilt the cab? The only thing I've read about it is to make sure the strap is fitted so it doesn't try to go on over and break/bend stuff? But how much do you have to disconnect before it'll tip?

not bad, the early ones you have to make custom brackets, but the later ones (such as castos) have tipping points on them, the brackets are often missing and are hard to come by, but you can make them. there are a few things you need to remove, the air intake pipe that goes to the rocker cover, the cab mounting bolts (including the front one), its all fairly obvious when you look at it, then as you lift the cab you just keep an eye on everything to make sure nothings caught or still attached. and have a rope attached the cab cab and rap it around something (to act as a snatch block and also to apply friction), we usually use one of the tipping balls, and apply tension to stop the cab going completely over.
