Cabs for winter use

[rfinley]

Looking at the Power-Trac for snow removal. Does anyone know of a cab that will fit the Power-Trac models ???
Thanks

I am not aware of any "plug and play" cabs for the PTs. There have been a number of Forum members who have reported fabbing cabs for winter use. Try doing a SEARCH, limiting to the PT Forum, with "cab" and "winter" globally searing ALL posts (default is only 1 week). I recall a fellow in Cape Cod had a nice one.

Martin Cab Co. {HERE} has an extensive line of cabs, ranging from full fabric to full metal and everything in between. Go to "product info" >> "cab style guide"

I'm sure those with cabs will chime in here. Where are you located /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Here's another potential source for something you might adapt. Original Cab is the manufacturer for most all the "soft sided" cabs sold for smaller machines...

Original Tractor Cab Co.

With winter quickly approaching I am also think of ways to keep the wind and snow at bay. I thought I'd save everyone some searching to point out some good previous posts on the subject.

Here's a thread with an adapted Ariens soft cab.
Here's a thread with an awesome homebuilt hard cab.
Here's a custom Martin made hard cab. The thread about it.

Yet another cab thread with a different manufacturer listed.

I second that! I would love a cab for my PT this winter(getting the snowblower)
Too bad Power-Trac doesn't make OEM cabs /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

The Ariens cab looks cool!

Thanks for the forum links. I see there is a option of making one. The one in the home build thread looked great. I still can not believe PT don't offer one. I am down to PT and Ventrac as my short list. Ventrac does offer a cab. Livivg in upstate NY, (getting snow as I write this) I must have a cab !!!!
Thanks again for the quick response.

Ah, hah! That's the one I was thinking of from Cape Cod. Beechwood's PT has a bunch of other neat doo-dads, too. I like the rear bumper/nerf bar setup, and what looks to be a deflector for exhaust gas, to avoid those burn spots on the lawn /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif He hasn't posted for quite awhile. I'll PM him to let him know we're likin' his cab again as Winter fast approaches.

I have decided to make my own here is the start of it. Not sure how well it will turn out , but should at least keep the wind ice rain and snow off of me. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
