I would love to get my hands on a cab like yours for my cyclops tractor (I have 2-1641's and an 1864 all restored). Check out my pics on this site...anyway...
I found one about 10 miles away from me in excellent condition however the guy that owns it won't sell it!! He has it sitting on a pallet (under cover) and never uses it...but he won't part with it. He is a pack rat for sure! His yard is covered with many antique tractors, cars, boats, trailers, campers...you name it! Well, I'll keep looking...
Is your blower a 450 or a 451? I believe the 451 is the correct blower for your tractor as that model has the correct pulley size for the PTO on the 1862.
Did you fabricate the grill insert? It looks good! The plastic inserts are getting hard to find these days...
A few more questions...do the side panel vents pull heat out of the cab? Do you cover them to keep the heat in? Do you have an electric heater for your cab? Have you tried using engine heat to warm the cab?
Again, excellent work...a pleasure to see!

My 1862 has the small PTO thus it should have a #450 blower.
