My Snow Cab Project

[chopped]

Window... so simple. I am enbarrased I didnt think of the rear wipers on cars. It would sure be one thing id save from a junker wehn I junk. But Id think it would be a common production item (new). Im sure they are out there just not a publisized.. thanks for the idea.

I have the same latches on the inside, have to remember to unlatch outside ones on both sides before I get in. I left plenty of air space around all the doors botton of cab,and above the windshield so air will circulate. I did that on my old cab years ago I made and had no steaming, I use several of the microwave cushions you heat up to sit on and one down the front of my jacket, keeps me nice and warm. Plus a coffee holder for my hot drink? Did not try to make air tight just keep the cold winds and moisture off me. At 56 I am getting soft Thanks for all the comments.

If You already have the experience on the subject of air circulation in a small cab in winter, then no questions anymore
Good luck to test Your snow cab!

Hi.
Search for boat wipers, there are many types and with mounting sleeve that has treads long enough for your frame.

Hody neighbor.

What are you holding it onto the tractor with? It kind of looks like a turnbuckle, but I can't tell for sure.

Looks like a nice cab!

He Jimmer, my son lives in hagerstown, I used turnbuckles, on each rear fender and one behind the brake pedals attached to the front of the floorboards on each side. I shake the cab and the entire tractor shakes, very solid, yes I am looking foward to trying it out. I ordered
2 LED blinking lights that run off of 2 aa batteries each. suppose to last for hours for 100 hours or more.putting on the top front and back for when I am along the road moving snow. I ordered the amber one. Should do the job for a small price. lots of traffic . Thanks for complement
