finished winter cab

emery · Dec 8, 2001

my idea of trying a golf cart cab on my tractor worked out just as I had hoped. It is almost a perfect fit and only cost $100 from Northern Hydraulics. It has zipper entry doors on each side and a zipper in each corner. The two front corners I left slightly unzipped to allow for FEL movement. The top is plywood 45"x59" with rounded corners and support by ROPS and front posts I attached to FEL frame using existing bolts.
The only real gaps are by the foot pedals and I will cut some carpet and drape it down over that area to keep most of wind out.

Looks like you'll get the chance to check out your new idea sooner than you think. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Now that is cool. I think for running in the snow to clear out a driveway or two this is pretty cheap! Looks like it will keep some of the cold off of you. No window wipers though.

I can't tell from the photos...is there a canopy on the tractor?

Tractor had no canopy but did have ROPS. I added meetal support up from bolted to FEL frame and then put plywood cut to correct dimensions 45"x59". I just used loops of wire to tie down plywood around rops and front support.
