building a homemade hard cab for my 127
 
here it is in the middle stages of progress. didnt have to drill any new holes in the tractor to mount this. used the foot rest plate holes in the front and holes in the frame in the rear. frame is all 1 1/2 angle iron and slotted angle. stainless steel sheet metal roof, and luan 1/4 finish plywood for the skin. will be making doors soon and purchasing lexan for the windows. also mounted a second fuel tank to the front of the cab for extra gas. i will be using the cub for residential snowblowing all winter so its handy having extra fuel. let me know what you think and any questions or ideas you may have.

Looks good! I need to do something like that one of these days for my 782. I'm tired of getting covered in snow every winter.

Can the lift handle go all the way down?

Yes it can, you'll see a rubber flap in the front for the brake and the lift lever to pop through.

:Welcome2: Both the cub and cab look great!! I like your IH painted in your front grill---nice touch. I was thinking about making a soft cab for my 149, I have two soft doors from a jeep and they seem to fit fairly well to the sides above the fenders. Can't wait to see your finished product!!
