[AT] John Deere 60 cab

[Jim & Lyn Evans]

It has sliding doors on both sides.  They had sheet metal covers that they
would put over the engine which would direct air into the cab just like a
heat houser.   Apparently it was so warm in the cab they hardly ever shut
the left door, even on the coldest days.

Thanks to all who replied!

Jim, that does look like a well built cab. Does the door slide?   I sure 
hope your friend never has to work on the flywheel!  Looks like the cab 
would have to come off to get to it.

Any provisions for a heater or fan?

Dick
