Cozy Cab from 782 adapted to 1872 Super
After looking over my Cozy Cab that I just made a 1300 mile road trip to pick up. I took some measurements and decided to see if I could make it fit on my 1872 Super that is dedicated to snowblower duty. My original plan was to build up a 782 parts tractor I have and mount the Cozy cab on it. It seemed like much less work to adapt the cab to the 1872 so I went to work. I first removed the IH weatherbrake I have on it, removed the seat assy and side panels from the tractor. The doors and windshield from the cab and set it on. It was amazed at how close it fit the longer super frame. I slid it forward two inches and added some extension straps from the fender pan mount for the cab and the cab and the back was taken care of. At the front I removed the bolts from the lift cyl mount on the tractor and bolted the 782 frame mount for the cab in place and added a extension strap to that mount and at that time three corners were bolted down. I then put the side panels back on the tractor, the windshield back on the cab and checked it out. Everything looked pretty good and with some additional weatherstripping the hood and side panels will seat up to the windshield very well. I then made a new mounting bracket for the left front side of the cab because the powersteering cylinder would not allow the use of the 782 mount. At this time all that is left to finish up the conversion is make some filler panels for the fender to cab area because the cab was moved forward the two inches and make new panels to fit below the windshield and the frame area. I have some left over vinyl foam panels from one of the farm tractors I redid the interior in to help quiet down the inside and some bulk floor mat material to help seal up the step area. I spent about four hours on it today and plan on spending about that much more on it tomorrow to finish the job. I cannot believe how easy it was to make this cab fit my super. Much easier that building another tractor from parts. Next summer I may just strip it down and paint it.
Here are some pictures of my progress so far. Hope you all enjoy.

At this point nothing on the tractor or cab has been modified or changed. Just bolt on parts. If I want it all can be changed back to stock. I am really pleased with how all this is working out. |

how do you open the hood to check the oil?

Thanks guys. I really enjoyed getting the cab to fit my 1872. Tom, the windshield is hinged at the top and to open the hood you just undo the straps that hold the windshield shut, lift it open then open the hood and use it to prop the windshield open. It still works as it did when the cab was mounted on a 782. I will take some more pictures when I finish sealing up the gaps and show the hood opened.

Nicely done. Brackets look stoudt. Motorized chute rotation, nice. After eating a lot of snow with my snowblower, a cab would be nice.

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.
