Do cabs work with plows on 300 series?

Recommended Posts

Is there enough room inside the Wheelhorse Cab to operate the Angle Lever?

Cab a blower tractor and suck it up for a plow tractor! LOL

@Ed Kennell runs a cab with a plow tractor, I think

This isn't for us. Trina and I don't use cabs.

 

We are wondering, for the friends we're building a tractor for.

Easy peasy if you add a few bends to the lever.   Keeps my hands inside the warm cab.     It is snug for this 180lb bear cub.   May be kinda tight for a large Kodiak Bear.102_2586.JPG.c466495f072c7d629dcf960f6eb4e1c9.JPG

The guy that wants to know is taller than me but nowhere near my girth.

 

I won't have time to modify a lever yet but maybe we can put that on the things to do list.

Probably be OK then.    My foot control pedal linkage takes up some of the right leg room, but It works fine.  I used some well placed small eye bolts as guides for the cable and a small turnbuckle for tension adjustment.   The cable pull lever has to go on the other (bottom) side of the main lever.

To make the bends, I just saw a small VEE notch in the lever leaving about 1/4" of metal to bend.   Start small and increase the notch width till you cet the desired angles.

After fitting to final shape, weld the notches closed. I also added a small scab plate to each bend for extra strength.

I just noticed you were asking for a 300 series.   My 54" plow with the altered lever and cab was on my 520H.    I don't think there would be any difference in the size.

I have actually removed this plow and installed the 2 stage blower.
