The glass is pricey; but less than I expected. I was guessing the cost would be over a grand. Can't wait to see how it looks.

 

[Dirtnut]

yes i to thought it would be at least a grand. he came out took measurements called with the price,i was very happy. it comes out to $81.00 a window. he did tell me when i called the first time to get a price on 1/4 tempered glass that it is $8.25 a square foot. cant wait to get my tractor back.

glass is in. a little advice when you make rounded corners cut no less than 3" radius corners. i had 2.5" corners it made it difficult to work the rubbers.

That looks great! Just in time for winter. I can't get your pictures to blow up very well but I like what I can see. Richard

I like how you did the bulkhead fittings for your hydraulics. How much more to do before it's complete?

 

[radioman]

WOW! super nice! looks factory too. I am sure you gonna enjoy it in the winter time!

Very nice job Dirtnut! It looks factory.I like how you did the roof with insulation,that is a must.Are you going to add a radio/heater and finish the inside or just leave it as is...Ive wanted to put a cab on the old 1910 for years now,with winter (my slow season)approaching,you got my wheels turning.

 

[Dirtnut]

I still need to install wipers,heater,headliner,floor matting,lights,trim gaskets.I hope to get it done by winter. Thanks for the compliments guys.

I just finished installing a heater in the Original Tractor Cab ,bought it cheap , it was made for a Ventrac ,from the few times I have turned on the blower ,no doors or back ,it should do the job.

 

[Dirtnut]

more progress. - interior,lights,flashers,switches(still waiting on the rest of the switches)

[mjncad]

Looking good!

 

[Dirtnut]

thanks for the kind words i am very happy how the cab turned out. i got a few more things done today. put the switches in for the lights and wipers still need to order the wiper motors. i did order the heater today(since it seems winter is here).also added a fan today. little by little i am finishing things up & thinking new things up. need to do window latches,window shocks & install heater when it gets here hopefully middle of next week.
