Snow cab for D series

[slufoot733 70]

I am considering a snow cab for my 1978 D200. The blowback while snowblowing can be a real 'chiller'. Anyone have any suggestions on an aftermarket cab available at a reasonable price? Or an easy way to build one?

Thanks,

Kevin

Kevin,

Will do. But I have a feeling that we'll have to build our own. I had hoped to build something this summer but I had too many other things to take care of. Therefore I will have to face the snow this winter without the benefit of a cab. I have a JD with a snow plow and it does a pretty good job. The snow thrower is faster and, in a deep snow, moves the snow further away so I can get it away from my driveway. The plow can only push it so far, then is piles up. If the wind is blowing (which it usually does) then I have to attack the snow from the upwind side so it blows away from my drivers position. There's nothing colder that powdered snow blowing down your neck!

Hope you enjoy your D this winter. The D's are beasts and will do a great job when they're running correctly. Mine can be temperamental at times so I have to treat it nice. One thing I have an issue with is the Kohler K532 engine does not like to restart while it's hot. I don't shut it off until I am done with whatever I have to do.

When function is more important than form:

Something like that should fit in well with the flowing, aerodynamic styling of the D's. :hide:

MalMac, thanks for the tip. I'm checking them out right now.

Terry, very aerodynamic for sure, I love it. Provodes protection from meteroites too! :)

MalMac Thanks for the tip. Mercy, after spurging for that, it might double as a small getaway cabin

Kevin, I have a cab for my Gravely Commercial 430 that I may be able to use as well. BTW, I haven't had any problem with my Onan 16 starting, cold or hot, thank God.

Let us know how you make out with that Berco unit from Jim's Repair Kevin. I'm curious also as to whether it will fit a D series.

I second it, I am curious on how the Berco unit works out also. Please keep us posted.
