I guess in Siberia, it gets pretty cold, hence the need for the cab to stay alive. Nice work and thank you for sharing.

[@rodcros]

This was an outstanding job under adverse conditions. Oh, to be young again! Fine video presence, as well.

[@carltrano1325]

Super cool build hats off to ya

[@joelbuyno5500]

[@Seeds2freedom]

Excellent construction throughout Mr Green.

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

Thanks buddy

[@sonsofliberty3081]

That glue won't cure right when it's that cold. Been there.

[@ladyco4395]

Imagine what u could do if u had the proper tools and a place to get out of the weather! Great job man, I’m building one myself for me and my grandson to blow snow.

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

Thanks

[@davidkeys6192]

Very good work.

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@daveroberts9921]

Nice work. If you wire up the park switch on your wiper motors they return to their park position.

[@jameskennedy6675]

Great work

[@Dennis-gr2fx]

Well got started now on the tractor cab that you inspired me into doing.Nothing like doing it to really see the problems up close. But its nice to be doing the project.A lot is very similar to your build a few minor differences. Probably won't be doing much in lights and a heater is not easy on my old Kubota compact as it is gravity system- no pump.Difficult around the wheels! And difficult around that up/down arm and bucket control unit. Also the doors.Thanks for the inspiration Mr Green.Real nice project.

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

your very welcome Dennis I'm glad I could help with your cab ..best of luck on the rest of ur project

[@Lawmtho]

Fantastic job! Watched all parts! Would like to do a similar cab for my little Ariens that I use to push snow off the long driveway! Thanks for the insight.

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

Lawmtho I built one for my john deere compact too if you would like to check out on my channel

[@timbest8970]

nice job....very resourceful

[@quincysmith7311]

Very nice 👌

[@1teddy1979]

Wow that is nice! Good build

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

Thank you

[@pauldavis9716]

Time and materials cost? Would it be worth it to just buy a cab and install yourself?

[@Dr.SnowRemoval]

I love this Cab! Nice job dude

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

thank you very much

[@jmanatee]

Really nice job!

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

Thank you

[@halomanhateskids]

this was very helpful thank you

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

your welcome

[@vantime2911]

Great job mate.

[@kd5inm]

Looks great!

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

Thanks

[@mikethedeerman]

nice cab is it warm

[@bigray2859]

Really, really nice build! You spoke of removing it for warm weather, 3 person job? 4?

[@reinhardhomberg]

Awesome work bud!!! How did you mount the cab to the tractor? Drilled and bolted it???

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

Reinhard HombergThanks ...yes 5 bolts hold it on

[@rotorbeam1]

As for the fan heating up the windshield, it should not, better to have the fan moved the air within the cab and keep the windshield cold to touch, so snow just fall off. Keeping the air flow within the cab will still keep the windshield from fogging up.

[@kellys1890]

How well have the windows held up with only 4 bolts in each one?

[@maggiemay8233]

We're did you get the wiper I have a homemade door on my skid i made a manual wiper its a pain thanks in advance

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

I bought it on ebay it was $150 ya pricey but for the angle it needs no other wiper motor would work

[@danielrichard4512]

Yopu should have a speed switch for the heater fan.

[@hillbilly162]

I found this every helpful

[@gerdesoto262]

The video where it says ( home made tractor cab part 5 finish product) on that home made tractor cab it looks like your missing one more thing, that is a good stereo system that make it sweet when you are working blowing snow or mowing grass in the summer months

[@prairiepucker9392]

Maybe I missed it, but how does the frame attach to the tractor? Did you have to drill mounting holes, or were you able to use existing? Use anything to protect the tractor finish? Does it lift straight up to remove from the tractor? I built a cab 15 years ago for an off-brand tractor and always looked forward to the day when I could afford a good tractor and cab. I just got a new tractor but the price of a cab is crazy, so it looks like I'm back to building another cab. Won't be as elaborate as yours, though. Nice job.

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

Sorry don't no if I showed that I drilled four holes then there's four bolts that hold it on ..yes just take bolts off and it can be lifted off..I used foam for insulating water pipe and put that between the metals so it doesn't harm the paint ...good luck with your build

[@nickferrence8593]

Awesome build Mr. Green. Love all 6 videos in the series. I'm trying to heat my diy cab but I don't have a radiator. It's a 1998 cub cadet 22 hp. Any ideas from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

[@super_slo]

You ever look at what's called a "parking heater"? Come in gas or diesel variants so you can use the same fuel as the vehicle, and don't require a liquid cooled engine to work. They go from pretty cheap to really expensive. Biggest name is webasto, LOTS of knockoffs.

[@clivegibbs7121]

Probably way too late now because you probably already got a nice cab heater installed but anyway a really nice and cheap method would be to build a heater box around the tractor's exhaust manifold and then use a simple fan to blow air into the cabin

[@danielrichard4512]

Nice job your doing there M. GOGREENPM, IT SHOULD BE QUITE WARM INSIDE.

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

thanks yes it stays nice and warm inside

[@kd5inm]

Now I'd like to see ya driving her with the heater going, out doing some work, perhaps showing the heater defrosting the window, did ya get a chance to test the heater/defroster? How'd it work out? I'm interested in knowing how the heater worked out

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

Ok I'll take some video next day it snows ..I've use the heater the other day when I was working in it doing wiring fog it up then started it with in 5 mins the windows were clear

[@OffGridAussiePrepper]

KD was Here.... again and again!

[@kd5inm]

GoGreenPM Cool! I enjoyed seeing the build, good job!

[@kevinstoyable]

Can you do a close up of how that wiper motor is mounted and wiper goes through glass. Thanks

[@TheMoneypresident]

Are the 6x9's going in? Cb radio? Cup holders and microwave?

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

I'll stick in the head phones for now ... and I'll use my ray gun from the future to cook my food.

[@TheMoneypresident]

GoGreenPM still need the three fake engine vents like a buick roadmaster. Or flame decals that are put on backwards.

[@danyf3116]

What is the estimated weight of the cab or did I miss it?

[@GeorgeGardinier]

have you seen the blower kind that draws it while going forward, your good at this, an input down to the rear and or lift it so you have normal, did you see them, for ideas

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

Ya that's a nice set up for normal driveways

[@GeorgeGardinier]

how did it do in the snow, most of us got lots

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

It did ok but the hydrolic motor could not keep up to the amount of snow should have been a smaller blower to start like a 5 foot ...I sold that set up a little while back

[@dondenter]

You did not answer the guy asking about the Lexan thickness? Did you make the frame so you could fit 'standard' sizes of Lexan?Is the frame 1" or 3/4 " square tube? Any other general details about the construction materials?Well done - a super job.

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

1 inch square tubing I bought 4x8 sheets of 1/8 lexan should have use 1/4 inch but it's very expensive $500 for the lexan I used

[@dondenter]

+GoGreenPM Ok. Got it- yes Lexan is super expensive even at 1/8. Thank you.

[@maggiemay8233]

Thanks for the info it there a part number or perhaps a buyer screen name

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

I just type in skid steer wiper motor into the search on ebay

[@ajl9491]

Isn't the wiper going to scratch the plexi?

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

It's lexan ..but yes over time it will but i will be replacing the front and back window with safety glass we i can afford it

[@Jeepollllllo]

Very cool mr green olllllllo

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]

Thanks alot

[@TheModernOffGriders]

awesome job I could have done a little better but you not bad for a Canada dude lol

[@cjwcustomwoodworking]
