Good start for a DIY cab

[wh22366]

I found a link (on another forum) to an outfit selling surplus Curtis cabs for Massey and Agco machines. I know that the local Massey dealer stopped selling Curtis (I suppose) because Massey developed a full line of cabbed tractors. These units are a good start for a person building a cab: steel top, glass (tilt-out) windshield with electric wiper. The steel cowl would need to be modified to fit the nose of your particular machine as well as the doors. I paid $1800 for my Curtis four years ago and woudn't be without it. You'd have to decide that the $600 price + freight made sense for your application. You can still get the universal hot water heater from Curtis to make things really comfy. Here's the link:

If i knew that the width would be close enough to be being wide enough for my montana i would buy one of these. They are all soft sided but i think that is a good deal just for the frame works and glass you cant buy that stuff new for that price. Im gonna contact them and see what shipping is worth to canada and might have to see.

Shipping cost might be a large factor. Then to remodel to fit your application, if it is wide enough, ect. I am not a fan of flexible ( vinal ) doors and would have to make metal frames. The fender curvature may be wrong and it will look like it was dropped in transit.
I am wondering if I should just start from scratch. It is tempting though. I know it will not fit without modifications.... just my luck. It is a good value though especially if one had that series tractor.

They are metal frame doors.
