My '88 measures 70.5 inches.    I did raise the seat pan 1.5" so that also raised the cab a bit in the rear.

Potential door header clearance issue??

Don't forget that strobe light Ed ! Jim's will be laying on the ground behind the tractor with a new sunroof hole in the top LOL

Those lights can easily be removed or relocated.

I'll get a measurement off mine too

My shop has a shed type roof off the back. Trying to decide if I should go back to leaving a tractor set up for snowblowing. But we all know then it won't snow. These new weather patterns are challenging up here in Maine. As they are in other States as well. I also have an extra RH side cover and may use that for the heater set up like yours and not have to perforate the one on there if I decide to do this. Thanks Ed

520-HC

Mine's at 69"  

The light is 4 1/2" above that.

And I figured @WHX??  would come up with that number before you did. @wallfish    He must be down for his mid - afternoon nap.

Ahh jeez @JCM I just sat down in my recliner and now you’re going to make me get up and go out to the shed to measure my cab height? 😂 And it’s raining to boot! Stand by……

Here we go Jimbo! 

[JCM 11,072]

Thanks Don. I assume that's on a 400 series unless you have a 520 - H all dolled up that I don't know about with 25 hours on it.

No Jim, this is definitely not a 25 hour tractor! It’s more like 1125 hrs. I inherited this tractor from my step grandfather, the guy who got me started on Wheel Horse tractors. When he passed away it went to my uncle, then when he passed it went to my cousin who never used it so he gave it to me. I remember when my step grandfather bought it new in 1985 from the same dealership I bought my Work Horse from. It’s a 417-A, I believe it was his third Wheel Horse? I know he purchased it to replace his C-161 Twin Automatic that he mowed commercially with.It was getting tired and he wanted to upgrade. I have that tractor in my collection as well. He was a retired tugboat dispatcher in New York City who moved out here and mowed for some extra cash and something to do! We both mowed lawns in our neighborhood and I remember being so happy mowing lawns together with our brand new tractors. I was only 15 years old at the time. Papa Dave used his tractors to mow, rototill, and plow snow until he was no longer physically able to and I’m proud to have inherited both of his tractors. The C-161 is retired in my basement and the 417 is my dedicated snowblower tractor that only sees occasional use.
