Still need to build a boot over the fuel tank so that the only gas fumes in the cab come from the driver . :sick:

Funny enough there is a hole in the seat in the seat from factory . In the right place as well for said purpose . :rofl: I would have to put a set of Fart Can mufflers on to complete the system . :rofl:

We have doors on the greenhouse , I mean cab . :rofl: They pop off in seconds for summer use . i have to make a rack to hang them on when not in use . Anyone thinking of having pop off doors , always make your bottom hinge pin 1" long and top 1/2" long . That way you are not trying to line up both at the same time . They fit inside the frame so can not come off when closed . Have to install the backup light and window defog fans , but getting closer to mounting the snow caster and installing electric chute rotator .

I mounted the hinge to the front like a car . This naturally makes them self closing .

Looking forward to seeing it in real life. Looks very open as to the view. Very nice, in my opinion. :thumbsup:

Very nice work Dave. Curious why you chose to have the doors swing from the front instead of the rear? I haven't had a cab on my tractors yet and will someday build one. Taking notes. Looks comfy in there.

:thumbsup: looking good Dave, I really like the amount of visibility. :thumbsup: not much excuse for running into stuff because it was in a blind spot.
Should be a fun snow removal machine.

Looking great Dave.

But the greenhouse got me to thinking about the AMC Pacer cars. All glass and tinted green. We use to call them green house on wheels.
