Just because it's always fun to critique someone's welds here's mine. Whatcha think will it come flying apart?

Little by little closing everything up. Got the back panel welded in. Also filled in alot of cracks with spray foam. Also got weather stripping around a couple windows. More to seal up tomorrow.

Little by little it's closing up. Got the side gaps all welded in. Still need to enclose the bottom....

Got to drive it in high speed today. It's loud. It's 70 degrees outside and about 120 inside the cab. With the windows open and while moving it's probably 80-90 degrees. It's definitely gonna be a 40 degrees and lower cab unless I'm using it for 10 minutes. Or I get a cab AC.

Cabbed tractors without AC are terrible. My Massey 20C has a cab and no AC. I generally run with the doors off in the summer and the cab fan blowing on me. I would recommend a cab fan, it helps defrost/defog the windows in the winter, and keeps you cooler in the summer.

That's actually a great Idea. All the windows and doors on this thing come off quickly. I could just remove all of them in the summer. Thanks.

My driver side door was very warped. I tried a few times to bend it back but the top front of it had a decent gap. So I made my own "draw latch". It was actually raining today and I didn't feel any water on me or see any drips.

FOR $50 INTO THIS CAB PROJECT I CALL IT A WIN.

I still have to add backup cameras and ext/interior lights, but as of now this is how it sits for a bit.
