Cab enclosure

[Bluox101]

Could someone tell me were I might find a cab enclosure or a dealer that I might buy one. I need the enclosure for the winter months. I have look everywhere and can't find one to fit.

Did you try typing "Tractor cab" on google

Welcome to TBN.

Do a search on this site, a couple members have made their own and there is also threads on Sims cabs also. Sims is the only manufacture I can think of offhand but I know there are others.

After searching and pricing cabs I built my own. Most anything nice was quite expensive. It cost about $1,200 and has all real safety glass except where it's coped around the hood/hoses/etc. and a 20KBTU heater. It was wonderful when pushing snow last winter.

It also cost me about 150 hours and I still can't believe it took so long, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Is it sectional and removable but I left it on this summer. With the doors off and a "school bus driver" fan it wasn't too hot inside.

Thanks for your response. I did try on the net and can't find anything that will fit the 750. I need it for the winter here. If you know of a dealer maybe they would have some ideas. There are some out there but I can't find out if they would fit mine.

chim: are there blue prints for the enclosure? Does JD have an enclosure made just for a 750?

You could do what I did....I put a roof on the ROPS, and took it to an Upolshostry shop. They made panels that slide in on J channels on the roof, zippered at the 4 corners, and riveted snaps along the bottom.


In November, I put the panels on and am ready for the winter. In the spring I take them off. It keeps me warm, and no wind or snow gets in. If my memory serves me right, the foof was $350ish, and the panels $400.

There may be drawings somewhere but I wouldn't know where to find them. My cab started with some ideas and a really rough pencil drawing. It was developed as it progressed.

Here's some sites you might call. I didn't see a 750 but both show a 790.

The hotel I worked for at one time had one of those on a Cub Cadet garden tractor. IIRC, it was a fairly well put together cab for the price and it has actual hinged doors (unlike most of the lower priced cabs out there which have velcro or zippers).

I had one on my previous tractor (Mahindra). Hinged doors, glass windshield, A 12V ceramic heater inside kept me warm. New one has heat and AC.

NHbotanut: Looks great. I really don't have the time to build one, maybe refab one if I can come close to the size. I sell firewood and Saw lumber so really busy. Thanks for the pictures. David

Hi Briana03: I just called him and he said he doesn't have a pattern to make it for the JD 1984 is to old to have a pattern. This is what everyone has told me. Thanks for the help.

I have an Original Tractor Cab. Quality and performance is excellent for a soft cab, especially with the optional safety glass windshield. If you want to stay under $1000 I think it's the only game in town.

 

[wmonroe]

Maybe talk to a local weld or fab shop and see what they would charge to build something?

 

[JoeL4330]

consider a rigid sunshade attached to the ROPS and a golf-cart cover

 

[Bluox101]

Thanks for the response: the ideas are great. I'm hoping that we can find something to work before the snow flies. Thanks all.

Put a wanted ad on craigslist. Maybe you can get lucky and find a Curtis Cab or Cozy Cab.
