Cabs for Letter series

I am wondering if any factory made after market cabs for like the H's model. I seen one on a sale bill in Iowa a few years ago and now see one on a sale bill in Wy. Just wondering if they were ever offered by anyone. Those are the only two I have ever seen and also wondering if there is any value??

In all my travels. i have only seen one, and that was almost 40 years ago, and wasn't to bad looking, it had around top on it, but of course i cant think of the Brand Name.

There were some in Western Canada, Farmall M's, Wd6's, WD 9's with a Macdonald cab, made in Winnipeg during the time period of those tractors. Also cabs on MH 55's and JD R's. This cab was made in two pieces, the bottom piece was unique to the tractor model, and the top bolted to the bottom just below the glass, the same top for most tractors. Windshield and side windows opened out about 8 inches on the bottom, no rear door, wide open, quite dirty as the dirt accumulated in the cab due to the vacuum created.

According to this ad, rear door was available. Ads are from Rusty6 on another tractor forum.

There was another company that made cabs too. Tokheim, I think? Also rare.

Around here most farmers were too cheap/broke to buy fenders... They're certainly not going to shell out for a cab. You were a pansy if you had a heat houser.

automatic tractor cab is another one.

Tolkien that made gas pumps for gas stations made steel cabs for the H and M Farmalls back in the 1940's & '50's. All steel, similar in design to the cabs shown above. Pretty crude but kept the cold winds out but amplified the noise I'm sure.

In the 1960's a company in Minnesota made a KOEHN Tractor cab. It had a fiberglass roof about 3 feet wide and 5 ft long. Welded conduit frame for the windows, so no ROPS protection. There were little strips of steel tack welded onto the window frames so the Lexan windows could slide up into the roof, or at least that was the idea. Same frame worked on rear entry tractors like Dad's 450 Farmall, and was convertible to side entry like the neighbor's D-19 Allis, and Dad's 4010-D. A white woven polyester canvas was used to enclose the lower portion of the cab and sides of the engine. It was actually a comfortable place to work on those early spring days and late fall almost winter days when fall plowing or chopping stalks. Push the windows all up in the cab and take the canvas off it was a decent sunshade in summer to cultivate or mow and bale hay. With the canvas enclosure on the bottom it didn't amplify the gear whine or engine noise. The Lexan windows always jambed in the slides which ended up breaking them and they were a pain to replace. Later models had a tempered safety glass windshield so could use a windshield wiper but ours had a Lexan windshield so no wiper, and in driving snow required frequent stops to clear snow. We drug the neighbor home from getting stuck in a foot of snow one Sunday morning. Was an easy trip otherwise till we got a quarter mile from home, 4010 started sliding toward the ditch and got hung up on the drawbar.

If you want to road trip friend has a good Automatic cab for a M that he would give away for the taking. Located by Leigh Nebraska. Always was shedded.
