I have a Cozy Cab. It looks tall, and I think it is. They could have built it a bit shorter.
Your cab looks much taller than does a Cozy Cab.

Weld metal on the thing and put windows in it. Quit fartin around asking other people how to finish it. 90% of the guys on here can't even weld.
ALL cabs on CC look too tall IMO......

I don't disagree there. Even my Cozy Cab is a bit tall. If I built one, it would be shorter. Only advantage I see, is I can make a cab header and install heat and a radio and still have head room. Still want to do that......

True, you don't really need it. But, if you use a few rivets, you can dry fit and get all panels cut, then use the urethane with the rivets to locate and hold till cured. Just a personal preference.

You could even use all lexan and just paint the inside except where you want the windows.

Or, whether or not you choose to remove the cab during the hot summer months? A good custom cover shop could make sheets of weather grade canvas that snaps on. Then the rout of installing the other half of the snap to the frame,....

I'd add a few more gussets to counter the side to side sway being as how it is so tall. Especially if you go the soft cover route.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
