Default Custom made - Cub cab

I am building a cab for my 128 out of 1/2 in electrical conduit ,canvas fabric , clear vinyl , plexiglass. I am tired of freezing cold windchills to plow the drives at 6.45 am to get to work. I have the frame almost complete although I kind of screwed up the door trying to get one last bend and might build another. At under $2 a ten foot stick (took 7 )and purchased the fabric at $1 a yard it is cheap enough , going to assemble it like the t cub plane covering. glue it to the frames and sew some ,heat iron to shrink and paint
The conduit mig welds better than I thought it would, and if you dont weld , a piece of 5/8 allthread inserted in the pipe and epoxyed should be about as good and the gusset wrap with poprivets for the braces, 8 bolts hold it on.

posted early pics ,maybe some others would want to build theirs for winter. the store where I bought the fabric has more bolts too.

That looks good! Cool idea! Is it welded solid or are the sections pinned so you can take it apart? Could use velcro on the fabric to attach it to the frame or large snap buttons like on w radiator wind breaker. Good job can't wait to see it when finished!

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.
