I'm glad you re-posted, 4bangdan ( by the way, Merry Xmas ) that was a nice job you did.
One thing that caught my eye was, "the computer fan" you used. How did this work out for you,
did it have enough power to blow out hot air for you?, or would you have done it differently?

The fan works great, low noise and low amp draw. I use it too cool in the summer and to keep the air moving in the winter for dry windows. I have a fresh air intake heater below the right side of the winshield. It is a must. Tried 1 winter without a heater and the windows were always sweating. Also the computer fan is actually about 7 inches diameter. Not from a computer but it is the same type.

Great job,
I just acquired a cab from a Kubota F3060, which I'm going to remodel to fit my MX5100. Purchased from a local AG recycler for $475, complete with heater, lights, wiper, turn signals. In decent shape, will take about 10 hrs to reshape the contours and fill in the gaps with sheet metal, then a couple hours to clean and repaint.

Thanks Skyhook,
Well, the Cab rebuild is taking a little longer than my first estimate, so far about 20 hrs to reshape the frame and door openings to fix the MX, but it is getting there. will post pics when i get it back on the ground for paint.

Three item #s above are for 12vdc fans on surpluscenter.com that would be about right size $10-20 each.

Now all I need is a cab.

Next year.

Maybe get the frame and roof part of it done for summer to keep that sun off.
