[AT] Old tractor cabs

[jahaze at aol.com]

My 1935 18-27 Hart Parr has a cab on it.  I need to get a picture put up again so maybe someone can help me identify it.  Someday I will get around to re-doing it.  The cab itself has a steel frame that bolted to the axles, is has a steel sheetmetal front with two windows cut out, and the remnants of a canvas roof.  It is not home made.  The tractor came from New York so it's possible that the manufacturer was from there.  I always planned on fixing it up with a new top, and plexiglass for the windows, but I need to get the tractor back together first....

Enjoy, Joe

 tossed it (another stupid
 move). Dang I wish I had that frame. I have a leather sewing machine
 and I could make a new canvas cover and top and have a nice soft cab
 that would make you throw rocks at those new ones they sell. I almost
 always eventually regret getting rid of things...
Me too, which is why I don't throw much of anything away anymore. The cab 
ou describe sounds familiar and I think many old Sask. farmers will recall 
he similar "Kohen" cab, if I have spelled it right. It had the hard top, 
ither steel or fibreglass, and canvass sides. It was mostly an improvement 
ver the "Heat Houser" that my Dad used to have on the Cockshutt 50 but with 
 roof.
 haven't seen a Kohn cab for years. I still have the heat houser Dad used 
n the 50 although it is badly worn. Plus I have another one designed for a 
C4 Case but I have made it work on the Cockshutt 40. Although I have not 
ot around to installing it for several years now. Either getting lazy or 
ore tolerant of the cold :-)
 also see there is a pretty good heat houser laying in the attic of my 
ncles' old house. Needs to be rescued before the mice get it I guess.
eat Houser I think was a name unique to the company that made them. There 
as another one called the Hinson weather brake. I have an old advertisement 
howing another "Cabette", heat houser style installed on a W9 tractor. Made 
y the Danville Tent and Awning Company Inc. of Danville, Illinois.
