My Snow Cab Project

[Reb2nd]

Hi everyone, I live in Frederick MD. I own a 1992 Cub Cadet 2082 which I bought new that year. The past few weeks I have been working on a snow cab for it. See photos. I thind it turned out great. I have a plow and snow blower for it so today I also mounted the snow blower. Take notice i hinged the windshield so I can get the hood up if needed. Any question on the details how I made it feel free to email me. Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

I had 60 year old full 2 x 8 inch boards i ripped into 2x2,s 1/4 inch plywood for skin and plexiglass. I made one years ago for a 1250 I had and it held up forever.

OK I have to ask. In the last pic you can see the latch for the door on the outside How do you latch it once you are inside?

I tried to find some wiper assemblies but got no where. I vae seen some that have a single arem and blade and would mount on the top. Just dont think I have the right phrase on my search.. Got me interested now..

Need a wiper assembly? Look no further than your local junkyard. Get a rear wiper off of a Subaru wagon or hatchback. Cheap.

Excellent job!!! I really like it.
Is there any heating inside? Or at least some warm air blower onto the windshield from inside to remove the steam?

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.
