John Deere 455 Cab Build

[Grant MacDonald]

This is my John Deere 455 cab build. I built this cab to keep out the cold and keep me nice and warm. I just started building this November 1 2014. I built it out of 1 inch pine and covered it with truck bed liner. I got the glass out of the junk yard off some old storm doors for the front and back glass. I not sure what the side glass was out of but I made it work. Hope it help's other's to build there cabs.

Good looking build.
How will you open the hood to service the engine?

do you have any pictures of your conversion of that snowblower to fit that tractor?

I can lift the front glass up to get full access to the engine. The cab is not done yet I still have some little things to do heater, door latch, over head lights, and flashing lights.

I do have a few pictures but I am not sure if I have any of the brackets that I had welded on. I can post some pictures of the setup if you would like.

is it a 47 or 59 blower up there?

It's a 47" I'll take some better pictures of the next day it is nice out.

Appears there is a piece of wood across the top of the hood, but you say that lifts with the front glass so that should work. Nice build.
