Default Cab curtain windows frosted

Are there replacement side curtains available for the IH cab on my 1450? The vinyl windows on my cab are frosted very badly. At the end of my driveway I have to turn around in the street and would like a little better visibility as I’m sure you can understand why. It seems like the curtains/doors have shrunk a little as well so If I’d like to replace both doors as opposed to replacing only the vinyl windows.

Boat cover shop sounds like a great idea. Living near Lake Michigan should produce several to choose from. I would have tried the rubbing compound idea but one of the windows has been torn so replacement is what I'm looking for. Thanks for the ideas.

You can order the material from sailrite.com. It's called vinyl window material, one quality brand is strataglass. You want min 30 mil, 40 mil is even better. Any boat canvas shop can replace the windows for you, or you can do it if you have a heavy duty (walking foot preferred) sewing machine. Sew the new window on, then cut the old window material out. That way, you don't lose the shape and handling the material is easier with the old window still in place.

You can also try a shop that does convertible tops for cars.

I had an upholstery man tell me that he could do it whenever I wanted to, but they are getting harder to find these days.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
