[Ikc1990]

So I have a b2710 with a Curtis cab har front and back but soft removable doors. I am tired of not seeing and being cold, big guy small cab cant put to many layers cant maneuver in cab. Any suggestions on a heater for it? And wiper looking to go cheap as have had a few unexpected expenses but it is 20 deg and we got a foot of snow last night. And still snowing on the mountain here. Any ideas or good and bad about which ones or what size to warm it up and wipe away. The cab. Came with wiper motor in it but its junk dosnt work, and no arm and where arm connect to motor was. All stripped. Any on amazon worth buying? Thanks in advanced!

I put a Jegs heater in my homemade cab. I'd put the largest one in that you can find a mounting spot for.
You can take a look at some Jegs heaters here Other brands might fit your available space better, but these might give you a starting place.

Mine is plumbed into the system by removing the water pump bypass hose and hooking up the heater hoses in its place. Works great! Here's a link to the heater I used in my cab build Jegs Install post 42
With ample heat in the cab (I have clear vinyl windows) I've never found a need for wipers.

I will also suggest that you buy the largest heater (BTU's) that will fit into your cab. I also cut the bypass hose at the thermostat and used that to supply hot water to the heater and return it to the engine. On my BX 22, I had to use plastic adapters to change the size of the bypass hose to the heater hose, and I was able to source them from NAPA.
You are correct about the wiper motor being a piece of junk. Mine failed, and I sold the tractor before replacing it. Next to impossible to buy just the arm, and I think that it might be a proprietary item for Curtis. You might want to check other cab manufacturers to see if they sell the wiper motor assembly for less than Curtis.
