stoneman 10 #1 Posted November 30, 2014 I was hoping maybe one of you guys would recognize this cab and help me find the appropriate manual for it. I had it on last year, but I'm sure it wasn't properly mounted. I had a couple brackets left over, which may have been for adapting to a different tractor. I'm not sure. I couldn't find a place for them. I want to put it on again but not if it's the pain it was last year. The main problem was keeping the doors shut. Those brackets probably DO need to be on there . . . so . . . I guess it's time to admit I need the instructions for this one. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,488 #2 Posted November 30, 2014 Go into the Manuals section and do a search for Cab snow and you will get 13 results. In the red bar at the top click on Submission date and change it to Title Then change the Descending order to Ascending so they make more sense.

Ed Kennell 35,648 #3 Posted November 30, 2014 I don't have a manual, but if you post a pic of the left over brackets in question, maybe I can post pics of how they are installed on my cab. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MalMac 1,328 #5 Posted November 30, 2014 What tractor are you putting it on? I would like to see the parts you are talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure you are aware the snow we got on Tue was not very good for blowing. The 520 w/ SS tall chute did fine on the paved driveways, but when I tried to raise it slightly while blowing the stone road, there wasn't enough snow to push it thru the chute and it tended to clog up, so I went to the plow as I don't like to throw stones around. I did have a few bugs that I have fixed. The PTO clutch tended to slip too quick allowing the blower to clog, so I increased the tension on the clutch. I noticed there was some snow coming out the front of the chute rather than going up to the top of the chute. So I have added the cylinder to the bottom section of the chute like the later tall chutes have. Finally I had an issue with the brake pedal not returning the drive lever to the neutral position when it was depressed. I found the pin missing that holds the operating rod in the hole of the neutral cam. So all three of these bugs have been addressed, and I am waiting for the next blizzard to do a proper test. I do need to add some rear view mirrors though, as my arthritic neck only has about 15 degrees of movement. The heated cab though gets 5 stars. No window fogging and the snow that hit the window from the blower melted immediately. I didn't measure the temp inside, but it was toasty warm. I'll never be without a cab again.

stoneman 10 #7 Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) I use it on my C 160. It may not even be a C Series cab but it does seem to fit right. I'll get pics of the leftover brackets and post them. Thanks. With regard to the manuals, I feel certain the right one is in there. We'll see what we can find out with the pics of the leftover brackets. If that doesn't get me there . . . I'll start downloading manuals til I find the right one.Thanks. Edited November 30, 2014 by stoneman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stoneman 10 #8 Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) Here are the brackets I didn't use. I thought maybe the large one might be for a different tractor because I am using a similar one, and just couldn't figure out anywhere to put it. Not having the smaller ones wherever they go may be causing the flexing . . . but I couldn't find a place for them. I've looked at all the manuals in the files, but they all seem to be hard top cabs. Thanks! Edited December 11, 2014 by stoneman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,648 #9 Posted December 11, 2014 Those parts do not resemble any of the parts on my cab frame, but if I had to guess, the large piece looks like it would go over the steering tower and support the windshield. The two smaller pieces may have been used to attach the rear of the cab to the fender pan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geno 1,928 #10 Posted December 12, 2014 Those are brackets for a GT-14. They are in this manual, page 9. I just looked through the manuals as Garry suggested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stoneman 10 #12 Posted December 13, 2014 I did look at every manual in the files, but I was looking for a complete soft cab like mine. Would've never guessed it was that old or made for the GT 14. I'm going to put it back on the C 160 and do whatever it takes to firm up the frame so the doors work right. No need for it on the GT 14's since one's a gardener/mower, and the other one's got the big plow on it. No kids that'd enjoy using the snow thrower without a cab . . . and I don't have enough kid in me to use a snow thrower without a cab . . . unless the wind is 0 mph. Thanks for the help. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MalMac 1,328 #13 Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Once you use your snowblower with the cab on, you will never blow snow again without it. As said above. Edited December 13, 2014 by MalMac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
