SV I saw your post below drilling in the snow with an open station tractor. Felt compelled to peak your interest in a Heat Houser or Weatherbreak. Really work! Makes life much more tolerable. This one is a side entrance and is held on with only four bolts, two quarter inch, one 3/8 inch, and one five sixteenths. Takes 15 minutes to install or remove. Just make sure there are no exhaust fumes coming your want from a manifold leak.

Ive always wanted one of those. In fact bought one but i never could get it to fit . The new ones are vinyl instead of canvas and Im not sure how well they would hold up .

The vinyl was sort of an improvement... the canvas one had a tendency to become mouse food in the off season. They did make hauling manure, etc a lot more tolerable in the winter.
 
I had a Femco vinyl comfort cover as they're called here. The vinyl ripped out after a couple winters. It was on my 2510 that I feed cattle with. The tractor is shedded when not in use. The frame was pretty good though. I bought a Burch Heat Houser that is canvas next. The canvas is still holding up good but the frame is a joke. I used part of the frame from the first one and had to fabricate other pieces to make it work. The instructions look like a 5 year old drew them with a crayon and then it was copied 50 thousand times until the ink was barely visible. I've thought about taking the vinyl and tracing a pattern onto a canvas tarp.
 
Here's a handy fact that only new generation tractor fans will enjoy.... the weather brake pictured was manufactured by a company called Hinson- Femco. Hinson was also the manufacturer of factory John Deere cabs in 1971-72, longer on 7020-7520-6030 tractors. I believe I read once that they were to manufacture the first Sound-Gard cabs as well, but a decision was made to do that fabrication in house at Waterloo.
 
Before I got cab tractors, I had one of them on a 2520. Mowed cornstalks for years with it. I had on all my winter clothes, but I stayed toasty warm, even with some snow flurries. With the short days I would even work into the cold of night, and enjoy the lights across the lake.
 
Yep, if nothing else, the wind break is a plus!
The one on my 2N didn't provide much heat due to the engine
running so cool, even with a roof and rear curtain. (not pictured)
But the jubilee would just about drive me out! Too warm!

If you lived close I'd give you three of them, I'm sure you could make one fit. I remember Dad just hung old swather canvas on both sides of the 900 Case western, it would cook you out plowing unless you had a strong tail wind, I think he finally hung a piece in the back too, wasn't real handy but effective.
 
the tractor shown above is a 3020 gasser. But I think a weather break for a 4020 would work on a 3020, but not the other way around. Shield probably has to cover up the side screens to the radiator. Helps the tractor engine to run warmer, if not being used hard.
