Cub Cabs

[dsauve]

Being a mechanic and metal worker I might try to do something like a Cozy but lower I don't need all the extra head room, and extra space to try and heat. I'm still kicking around the heat idea, it would be nice but there isn't enough electricity for that, no hot water,and I really don't want exhaust fumes. I thought about a small Mr heater but that might be more than I need. I know I can line the cab for heat and sound insulation so maybe engine heat would be enough on the 1250.

I was just looking in my archives for some other photos and came across these and thought I'd post them.

That would be a nice lookin cab in those drawings.
This is what I came up with to access the under hood area. Cozy Cab for a wide frame.

The hinges for the rear of the cab

Brendan,
How did you latch the front?

 

[bbrigham]

I have bolts with nylock nuts that bolt to the foot steps. I am going to have some type of quick release pins but haven't got to it yet.There is some nice latches at McMaster-Carr that I really like too. I have a nylon coated cable to restrict how far back the cab tilts. I have a plug that hangs down from the battery to run power up to a switch panel for the strobe and back-up light.

Brendan keep it all IH by using the spring latches from an old mower deck.

Kraig. I like the cab in the drawing.

Brendan. Neat idea.

And to think that I kept putting off due to the "no room in the garage" syndrome inquiring about a ragged old Cozy cab about three blocks from our place. It left about a month and a half ago. I have a little room only I'll have more when I reorganize the garage next summer.

Art A. I know of a couple of nice original 102 and 122s in my area.
