Default Great addition to Super Cab.

Some may remember the cab I have for my 1872. I mounted it up about a month ago but last night was the 1st real winter weather we've had. So today I mounted the Haban hydro blade and the tire chains.


These nice cabs have 2 problems. 1st is they are loud! They vibrate and amplify the road and engine noise. So I just wear my hearing protection ear muffs. 2nd problem is frosted and fogged windows. Every breath you take sticks to the glass and freezes when it's in the 20's. When I was Christmas shopping I found a cheap little 12 volt car fan at the local Big Lot's store. Today I finally got around to mounting it up and wiring it. Boy does it work great. I could see my breath just disappear about 6" from the windshield. No frosty glass at all and I was working the tractor for a couple of hours! Woo hoo!
It will oscillate or just point it at a single place. That's the way I had it set. Doesn't take up much space and I haven't knocked my head on it either.




Next addition will be a couple of small outside mirrors for backing up with. The cab does limit my view some.

Nice looking set up! wish it was in my garage.ha Maybe for your noise problem you could try some rubber undercoating on the inside or insulated mat they use in cars that you peel and stick. My uncle had the same problem on his green one and put some thin insulation board in the roof and where he could and it made a differnce in sound. Now ya need some pics of your super pushing snow there!

Yeah it sucks when your trying to push snow and the windows fog over! I help clear the parking lot at work and they have one of those ugly (green things ) that I use. Good idea on the fan! I saw somewhere either JcW or someplace had a 12 volt fan that plugged into the cigarette lighter,could wire one of those in to give some warmth and help with the windows?? Just a thought! Good looking set up you have there!

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.
