Kubota L48
I have a 2004 L48, and plan on using it for snow removal this winter. Used it a couple of times last winter stacking and moving snow, and realized that a cab was needed for this winter. Searched all over for a Curtis, only to find out that they quit making them sometime ago and no one has one left.

Ended up buying a Sims, and it got delivered last Friday. During this process, the fenders on the tractor will need to come off and get repainted. I have some slight rust issues, and with the investment that I made with purchasing the cab, it needs to last me for a while now.

I have found so far that Sims is really lacking on their instructions. I purchsed the heater for it as well, and they say that it should be mounted on the right side of the dash, but I have no clue as to were to mount the thing. Anyone done this before that could help. I have some pictures of the tractor now, and will take more during the course of redoing the fenders as well as the install as well.

Good luck with your project. When I saw the picture of your bucket I realized you had to be back East. I can see rust is an issue for you.
