QT1 Cab on a 2013 MF 1533.

I think it looks damn good.

Thank you I appreciate that.

Just explain to your wife that the classic lines of the old cab bring about an elegance lacking in modern machinery. The pairing of the cab to the much newer Massey gives the little red tractor a timeless silhouette.

Say it with enough conviction and you'll never hear another peep about it.

Ok, so I get that you will be warm in winter. Do you use this machine in summer?

When I mow on our Missy, when she is running at near 2500 RPM on an 80+ day, open cab, I am getting pretty warm. Like in pretty dang hot!

How will u keep the cab from frying your bunns?

Curious minds want to know.

I have a funky roof we made out of PVC pipe to keep the sun off this old man. But I can't imagine being in a cab unless it has AC doing the mowing.

We use this one year round in the un-farmed areas of the property. (It can get 120 degrees in the summer and -20 to -30 degrees in the winter) Yardwork, corral blading, feeding hay, getting pallets unloaded, smaller dirt work projects. As @Sportsman762 had suggested to just take the front doors off. I will do that and I will also remove all the windows. Everything is held on by barrel hinges and draw latches so it might take 5 mins to take them all off. Putting them back on will take 2 people and an hr or 2. But once off it'll just be a frame and roof left.

I've been apaled by the lack of storage. Toolbox project.

Overengineered beverage holder. Used a plasma table, a giant 18" x 13ft lathe from the 1870s and a mini lathe to make cup holders.

 

[Casaid1]

Got the barrel hinges all welded up on toolbox. Got a can of Grey sprayed inside.

Can anyone identify this tag?
