I bought this cab a few years ago and am finally getting around to mounting it. I think it was made for a smaller frame tractor, but should work once some brackets and fabric panel extensions are made. It has to be better than nothing with the snow blowing back in your face.
Had to make extensions for the lower mounting brackets. The broken cutter bar from my sickle bar came in handy for this! Glad I held onto it.

Only when I don't have the snow equipment ready. This is just my snow insurance to make sure it all stays over there on the shores of Lake Erie  |

Have you also noticed that you never have flats unless you are dressed in your Sunday best and it's raining. |

That's a fact. Here in South Dakota -20 degrees works also. My youngest daughter explained something to me one day when going somewhere in the car. It seems flat tires hide in the ditch. When you go by they jump out and get you. True words of wisdom from a child 
Your going to love your cab Mike. No matter what it looks like or who made it, it is much better than nothing. Mine is one of those universal fits nothing correctly cabs and I still love it. Much better than a face full of snow. |

| As cold natured as I am that looks wonderful. I'd like one but if I find it too cold for 30w oil its too cold for tractoring. |

| Looks good Mike. Should keep you warm and dry. |
Money can't buy you happiness.
It can however buy you a beer.
And that is close enough.

Got the snow cab mounted, new belt plus a spare, new bearing in idler pulley, and got the chains on before freezing temps get your fingers confused with the chains when using pliers to close the chain clasps. 
Going to pick up another "project" cab tomorrow. Needs some TLC and repairs, but should be a good candidate for the other blower tractor. |

Love it! The snow insurance seems to be working! Would not bother me if I never had to engage the blower this winter. Just drive the tractor up and down the drive a couple of times to keep everything lubed up good and fresh. My neighbor was mowing his yard when I came home today. Nov 30th in Northern Indiana!

| Any of you guys getting seat time? I might need to mount a pump on mine because we are supposed to get a ton of rain all day tomorrow. |

I hope you don't have any need for that pump. What a lousy thought. |
