Quick update in cab enclosure. and more.

The paint didn't dry as fast as I expected on the front panal. Went to plan B- pull door and finish off welds and finish them off with grinder. Went good for an hour, till I ran out of wire for my welder. I'm a dumb arz. I had a refill of AR/CO2 delivered yesterday, and I looked at the spool and thought there was enongh wire on it to get me buy for a while.
Anyway , went to plan C, clean up the shop again, shi! seams to get deep very quickly.
By the end of the day the front panal was dry and I set it in place to see what it will look like. Looks like I will paint the mtg. brackets black to blend with the ROPS strutts.
We have been in the teens and twenties for the last 10 days and the wood boiler has been running 24/7 for the last 2 weeks. The last pics shows my homebuilt multi-tasker wood cart. My woodshed which holds 2,250 cu.ft. of firewood is connected to the shop, and all I have to do is roll the cart out the side door, fill it, and roll it back in, totally under the cover of a roof.
Last year I burned 12,5 cord of wood (1600 cu.ft). This year is not starting out good, already made a noticable hole in the woodshed pile. When the cart is full to the top 4'x4'-20" wood, it only lasts two days when I push the boiler. So far I haven't had to push it hard to heat the house and shop.

The Cab looks Great. I can see it now several years down the road someone new member on here is going to ask if Case made a Cab for a 430 and a picture of your tractor is going to show up with the caption "I think so?"

Thanks for sharing pictures as you go .. sure wish I had a little of your talent ...
It sure looks great what you have done .. You have the best heat possible in my opinion .. use to have a wood fireplace and really enjoyed it .. now we have L.P. .. it's nice put not the same kind of heat ..
It's been below freezing here for the past 9 days ... nite in teens and daytime 20's ..
