Heat houser??

It was not a cab, but something that I remember being called something like a "heat houser" or "heat housing" or something like that. (Hey, I was a kid and didn't always pay attention like I should have done). It was a heavy, canvas or tarp kind of "windshield" attached somehow around in front of the steering wheel as kind of a protective shield that kept off some of the wind and, I assume, trapped some of the heat from the tractor to keep the driver a little bit warmer (or, at least, give the impression of being a little warmer). Minnesota has many sub-zero days.

I'm not trying to buy or build one of these, just having a pleasant childhood memory brought on by the onset of winter. Does anybody remember what I'm talking about, used to have one of these, or perhaps still uses one?

I just put this on our 1855 last year, and it really helps. I got this one from my Oliver/Agco dealer made by FEMCO. We also have one for our Massey 285, sold by MF w/ their logo on. Turns out it was originally made by Femco as well. They aren't the cheapest, but they are custom fit for YOUR tractor model, not a "will fit" that is 4" too short over the engine and you have to cobble something together to fit the operator station properly (atleast some-what properly)....

Dad would put them on all the tractors that he used in the winter. He even rigged one up to put on a 77 and later a 770 Oliver when they had mounted corn pickers on them. It made quite a difference when you were running the picker.
