Hello. Just getting started on the rebuild of my 47 3100. Most everything has been removed just have the cab left. I removed the two bolts on each side near the firewall. Moved to the back and the only thing I can see are two holes at the back of the cab in the middle looking up from the bottom right above the drive shaft. I can see two bolts in the holes but they have square nuts on them not hex. I could not find any socket that would fit them. Not even sure if this is what needs to be removed??? After removing the seat I see no bolts or nuts in the back of the cab. Can someone please tell me how the back of the cab comes loose? Thanks!

See discussion below your post about 47-48 rear cab support. There is a link to the repair manual. Appears that the hex nuts on your center mount rear support were replaced with square nuts.

It has been a while since I have pulled an early cab, do you have enough clearance to knock the center bolt out? If you separate the shackle you should be able to then lift it off.
