I think the one for my machine is around $6k - yours shouldn't be too much more. :D :p

Haleluha, I got my tractor back. The mechanic showed me the wiring harness he had to replace. When he held it up it looked like a complete set of veins and arteries freshly yanked from a person. I guess it was a big job to remove and replace. There was one section that was totally corroded, melted and several strands were parted. Probably resembling my own arteries. In any event, the work was all done under warranty. Today I spent a few hours attacking the snowbanks that had been mocking me for the last few weeks.
I also decided to get a cab. Aparently Curtis does not make one for the B26, and the snobs at laurin won't have anything to do with me. I ordered one from Sims with hard sides and an enclosure for backhoe operation. It came to about $4,500 with shipping. I'll let you all know how the installation goes...

Glad you got your machine back.

Apparently, those French Canadians don't like you New Englanders. :D

Interesting about the Sims cab. When I priced one out for my machine, it came to something like $5700. Maybe I was loading it up with too many options. :eek: Come to think of it, I guess since you already have a canopy, that probably knocks a bit off the price.

Post some pics once you get the cab installed - I'd like to see how it looks. Do you plan on removing the doors for summer, or did you go with AC?

That much just to keep a little bad weather off of yourself. Some would say that is crazy as proper dress will do the same thing for a lot less.:D

I have to drive around to clear snow for a few houses in my neighborhood. Even at 12mph, the flying snow or slush from passing cars is really anoying. I have to bundle up like a snow bunny - including the goggles. Then the regular plow guys laugh at me from their warm dry pickup trucks and I end up flipping them over with my FEL. Its a real mess. I opted for a fan instead of A/C though. I'll probably take the doors off come summer.

If you can afford it, DO IT!!

Besides, it helps the economy.

Enjoy the cab Ken
