The cab release is on the back of the cab on the driver's side next to the rad header tank. First things first have you got a key to release the cab? It's not like a lock key it's about a foot long with a rounded off oblong handle and two little lumps on the end. You need it to release the cab lock. Silly but, MAKE SURE THERE'S NOTHING IN THE CAB THAT MIGHT BREAK OR HIT THE WINDSCREEN WHEN THE CAB TILTS, OR IN FRONT OF THE CAB THAT IT MIGHT HIT. If you have the key, put it in the hole by the header tank. Turn it and push the knob under it. That should release the cab off the lock. Then it's surprisingly easy to push the cab forwards. It doesn't go with a bang, and can be locked into place with the props by the wheel arch. What's a 7000 mate? 7 ton? The model number should be on the door. Unless it's had replacements off a different model! A 7.5 ton should be something like an 0813.
