As you all know(or at least the ones who own one) the 5110 is a very large machine and when I opened tis model up I noticed that the cab was not on correctly and as I took the model out of the polystyrene trays the cab fell off. At first I was very disappointed until I realized that there were no screws holding it on and that I could simply clip it back on. I soon found out that i could take the cab off just as easy by pulling it forward. So I was just wondering if it was just me or if norscot planned this Think

If at first you don't succeed, then maybe you should do it the way i told you to in the beginning.

I think it's a defect, I've dismantled at least (10) and all have a rivet that goes through the floor of the cab riser, that securely mounts the cab to the body. seems that the hole for the rivet was missed on your model, in turn meaning no rivet.
