Curtis cab

[McDenny's]

Hey all that may be reading. I have talked to Wayne and told him when I talked to Steve from NPE that the cab will not fit my tractor, it WILL NOT fit the 1445 or 1455. It will fit the 1440 and smaller series. I guess there is something about the 1445 and 1455 series that are different. After talking to Wayne I remembered seeing that cab at NPE and checking it out, of course it was a hot summer day and a cab was the last thing on my mind. So if any of you reading this need a cab for your tractor, shoot Wayne a email to see if it will fit.

Thanks,
Dennis

Mornin Dennis,
After reading through this thread, I have to agree with your idea of trying to find a cab for your MF 1445 ! It sounds like your plow truck is runnin on borrowed time, at least the body is ! And you have the perfect blower and tractor combo, on top of that your going to be hard pressed to find someone to pay you what that blower is really worth ! Good luck in your search !

Hey Scotty,
Yea, it is running on "borrowed" time. My wife used it Saturday to go and pick up some more bricks for me and that night she told me she came out of the store down the street and the "brake" light was on in the dash and the pedal went to the floor. Blew a brake line, the thing about it is that I just replaced them not even 4 years ago. The truck sits and that is the worst things for a vehicle. I thought about looking for a "newer" truck, but it wouldn't makes allot of sense to have a truck sitting in the driveway and make payments on it. I actually would like to find a plow for my tractor. My driveway is gravel and plowing it would be easier. I will keep my eye out, you never know what you may come across.

Wayne,
To bad you are so far away from Arkansas.

JerryG - Yeah, it is a bit of a hike to AR. There are a bunch of 1433's and 1440's around NH as two dealers have been spreading them around since their introduction, so I expect someone will develop an interest as winter sets in.

I've ordered a Curtis made to fit my machine and we'll see how the assembly comes boxed/palleted. If the packaging is decent, I'm thinking I might knock the other cab down, box it and ship it to a buyer. Just didn't want the hassle initially with the chores I have outstanding. Let me get the new one first and see how it goes.

Hey Wayne,
Just to let you know if you need a hand shipping your cab, let me know. The shop where I work sends stuff out on a regular basis and I can probably get a good rate on shipping.

Thanks Dennis, I may take you up on that.

Just found out from the good folks at Northwood Power that Curtis needs a minimum order of 12 cabs in order to gear up and produce 1540 cabs. Steve at NPE has been doing his best to drum up support with other dealers and other contacts to make the number. Only time will tell if he can raise enough interest. Meanwhile I'll hang on to the one I have (if I don't sell it for the advertised price) and modify it if I have to.

Good news. Steve at NPE called to let me know that (due to demand) Curtis is gearing up to make cabs for the 1533/1540 and will be producing them in December for sale through MF dealers. I'm happy I waited and didn't begin the process of modifying the 1440 cab I have.

Although I'd still like to sell the 1440 cab outright, I would entertain a trade for a GB72 Woods Box blade. I have several other 3 pt Woods products and want to stay with them.

Try responding to this craigslist ad. I'm guessing it's the same cab.
