Hello WFM'ers,

This is my first contribution/question to WFM. This last year I bought my first green tractor - a 1974 140H3 for a do-all machine (mowing, garden tilling, and snow removal). I have it set up for winter now with an old round chute blower in great shape (thanks Richard Boley), wheel weights, V61s, and tru-powers. I've used a snowblower before and know they work well, but would like a cab for windy days. I have had an eye out for a decent cab for a while, but haven't had much luck. Has anyone adapted a cab for a newer D-series to work on a 140? They are $350 from eBay or Home Depot, which is a sizeable chunk of change lost if it cannot be made to work.

Richard,
I have recently acquired a 3.5" stroke push/pull hydraulic cylinder that I will be using for a future snow blower revitalization and hydraulic chute rotation project. The company I work for makes their own hydraulic cylinders and I happen to work in engineering

JRP/Knotty,
Thanks for the 2 cents. I would LOVE a cozy cab but a soft door variant would be okay as well. The other option is a bercomac. They are universal (or so they say) and appear to be well built and easy to install/remove. Has anyone used a berco cab before? Any pictures of a 140 with one?
