[AT] John Deere 60 cab

[Jim & Lyn Evans]

I have a friend's JD 60 with a Keen tractor cab stored in my shed.  Pictures
of it are here:

It is actually not a bad looking cab and was designed to fit on the tractor.
However, it is a horrible thing to get in and out of and since the seat has
to be slid completely forward to fit, it makes the tractor uncomfortable to
drive.

Dean, I'm pretty sure the Mcdonald cabs I'm thinking of were all steel 
construction. I have the ad in a magazine here. I may have to look it up 
to satisfy my own  curiosity now.
