Default Cab & Blower
I went and picked up my cab and parts snowblower last night. I paid $180 for the Sims cab and a 450 blower. I thought it was a good deal. The cab just has some surface rust, but I plan on stripping it and painting it before I put it on the tractor. The blower has a bad fan, but the skid shoes and shave plate where like new. So new that the skid shoes still got the black powdercoat on the bottoms.

It was actually $180, but you are correct it was definatly one of those right place at the right time deals. It all started because I had this 450 snowblower with a bad fan. I really didn't want to spend the money on a new one, but I figured I would call down to the local Agway powershop and see what their price was on a new one. So I called down there and the guy said it was $159 and he would need to order it. Then he said, hold on I have one of those snowblowers at my house mounted on a parts tractor I got and it's also got a cab on it. If you want both I will make you a killer deal. He told me he got this tractor from his buddy just for the engine and he planned on scrapping the rest. I could tell by the way he talked that he had no interest in the cab for himself. He was just like, yup I got this tractor with a cab on it and after I pull the motor I'm going to scrap it for the money. He also had a Cub 107 just sitting in the weeds next to a tree. I told him I would give him another $30 for that too just so I didn't have to see it sit in the weeds. He said he would, but it wasn't his. He fixed it for somebody like 3 years ago and they never came and got it.

I finally got the cab mounted to the tractor. It took more work than I thought but it turned out looking good. I had to make some filler panels because this cab was meant for a newer style tractor and the weatherstripping wouldn't seal around the hood.





I also cut some diamond plate for the floor to make it look better and fill some of the gaps.

I also decided that I had to give this cab a quick rattle can paint job to cover up all the rust, old white paint and to seal my patch panels. These cabs are so heavy that I wasn't about to take it off the tractor again so I decided to just paint it mounted on the tractor and mask everything off. First I got rid of all the loose paint and rust with the DA and gave it a good wash. Then I masked everything off.







Then came the paint. After a few hours I ended up with this. Not perfect, but it looks much better than the brite white and rust.

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.
