Well, I have been using my cab quite a bit so far this winter and I haven't needed a heater or a wiper. It warms up in the cab just from the heat of the tractor and its sure nice not having snow blowing in my face.

Thanks, once you make up your mind to do it it isn't very difficult to build. Thank you. So far it hasn't fogged up. A wiper would make a difference though. When I get my heater installed I will have a duct to direct warm air onto the windshield though.

I think that once the heater is installed, I will need a wiper. With the snow melting on the window I'm sure it will be hard to see without a wiper. My driveway is about 800 ft long.

Last one. Lights work.

Here are my latest pictures. It still has to be painted but works great so far. I also still have to install the heater when I can find the fittings I need. The cab cost approximately $700 and took me about 60 hours to this stage.

Disregard .

Sorry, it was dark by the time I was done so pictures will happen tomorrow.

The last few days I have been working at putting the lexan windows on my new cab. I got some lights for free from my father, but they didn't work very good so I bought a couple cheap floodlights from princess auto. I'll test them out tonight. I bought some rubber matting today and made a panel...

Here are a few more pictures. I actually had to re-weld on new hinges because I bent the original ones when the door got caught on the rear tire.

Today I framed the roof by welding 1-1/2" angle iron together and am in the process of welding on 14 gauge sheet metal to the top. The whole top is attached to the cab frame with welded tabs on the roof frame bolted to the cab. I am hoping to get the lexan for the windows and finish welding the...

Progress so far: The frame of the cab is complete. The door is framed up and mounted in the left side of the cab. Next step is to build the roof out of angle iron and sheet metal. I welded the 1" tubing together and have mounted the cab to the tractor with bolts so I can take it off during...

I have been looking at some of the homemade cabs on here and decided to build my own. I'm using 1" square tubing and 1.5" angle iron.
