Snow cab
 

Just found a great deal a Curtis snow cab! A hard roof and front with windshield and wiper. Sides and rear are canvas (Yellow) with new clear plastic windows. Door are zipper doors. This was on a John Deere Model 318. I plan to strip it down and repaint the top and front. Top I H white Front I H yellow. Wiper works and has a built in switch. Going to add 2 Lights on roof and a yellow flashing light on top for safety. Going to have to have redesigned the way it attaches to the front hood. Right now it just sits on the hood on 2 inch block of rubber and a strap goes down and around and then tightens up. cann't decide if i want it on either my CC 100 (Has creeper gear) or CC122(has hydrolic lift). I like the way the rear supports are made they are hinge in the middle so that you can lift the cab up to raise the hood up off the hood

Nice looking cab you have there! :beerchug:

Thanks, what was really great about this is that I got it less than a mile from my house! Usually I have to travel 4 hours to PA to get anything. Got my CC 100 and CC 122 in Scraton PA , There isn't to much in CC stuff here in Northern NY. If you find something they think it's made of gold and Ask Super high prices for it. I have all the material to sandblast and paint but Haven't done it yet. I'll learn by trial and error I guess. Is there anyone around Watertown NY that can Give some pointers and help? I wanted to buy a cutter and welder this year but couldn't do it. I have a daugther graduating high school and going to college so there goes any spare cash.

:HeadScratch:

Why have we seen your progress on this little jem? You know....winter is just around the corner....remember the snow you guys got pounded with for the last, what....25 years! I'd be getting this little puppy ready when the weather is nice!

Yes I know, Right now I have to many PROJECTS GOING ON. Redoing Kitchen(wifes priority), visit to the great north this weekend, oldest daughter to college, 2 mower decks, 1 clutch. 2 trailers. Waiting on parts for all. I expect first snow by mid to end of Oct but it would be nice if it holds off to Lets say MAY. ha ha
I really need to put it together to see if it will fit. I JUST DON"T WANT TO DRILL HOLES IN MY FENDERS.

Any way to use magnets to help hold the cab to the fenders?

Hey that's a good idea i'll have to look into that thanks

In a situation where I feel I need to drill holes/cut with saw or torch... I normally buy another one of what I want to "modify", write the model number of the tractor on the original parts or on a tag attached to them and store them in the attic. Then modify the newly purchased parts and bolt them on. But that's just me, I'm a little goofy.

You should be able to pick up a pair of respectable used fenders for a little of nothing.

I've learned that theres almost always a way around drilling holes. Maybe some brackets that clamp around the axle tubes, or use the existing fender mount bolts to attach a fabricated bracket. Some brainstorming, a little mocking up, maybe make up some templates...you get the idea.

Yes, thats right! Don't go drilling holes in the fenders because you know how to use a drill and a drill bit! Otherwise you will end up having holes in the fender later on that you will be going .... :HeadScratch: What the heck did I do that for!?? I have that thanks to a PO and his cup holder on the fend of the 982 I bought. Kinda sucks....fixable, but sucks!
