It's a beauty all right. Love the design. I might fab up a fabric cage one for winter but the coldest my area gets is around 10-20°F. I might be able to get by with just an electrically heated suit.
If it gets really, really, really cold there, you might want to insulation wrap those coolant lines as they leave the engine area. They can be prone to freezing in sub zero weather. That causes all kinds of issues.
Read a post where one guy did this for a cab heater and ice broke loose from the external lines, hit the aluminum impeller of his water pump and tore it down... on a nice new tractor! I think an old steel impeller would turn ice into a margarita mix consistency, but aluminum... I could see it.
