This might ought to have be in the classified section, but I just thought the cab was so unique looking and possibly worthy of discussion.

My discussion would be that asking five G's for it is laughable. Perhaps 3 grand but even that is a stretch.


Who wants to go next? :sidelaugh: :sidelaugh:
How does one get the hood open? Looking at the last pic, door edge has worn paint on fender, metal on fender will have a groove worn in it soon too. One will have to move the seat forward if it can move any farther. it hits the back of the cab and won't sit down flat like it needs to. No weights, no chains? No windows in sides. Only one door. A door on the right hand side is kinda unhandy, but I would want one for safety reasons. Shame there isn't any pics of the back end of this tractor. Would one be able to mount a rear PTO or three point?

No photo but the ad says belly mower IS included. :wave:
Reread the ad while you were posting and edited my post.

Low hour 4020PS and deck in what appears to be excellent condition $3,000.

Snowblower $500

Blade $300

Cab $500

$4,300 would not be a bad deal.

The cab looks like it is well made but I would want to see it before making a deal--the frameless side doors could be a problem if the aluminum sheet is too light.

Seller needs to buy a 1lb can of Simichrome and polish that cab up like a P-51 Mustang at an airshow.

He`s a used car dealer, ought to be familiar with the "shoe shine" concept. :sidelaugh:
How do you safely back up with no rear window? Visibility can be bad enough during a snowstorm anyhow.

Looks to me like it has a rear window.
Yes,I would say there is a back window there.

Price is WAY outta line imho.

If it were a late model Eastman Produced 4000 series I'd feel differently.
Yes I see now. Sorry about that. It looked liked aluminum.

Looks like all the heat from the engine is directed AWAY from the cab. I want heat inside.
Any cab that is designed like that one and is constructed out of aluminum will constantly radiate a lot of COLD inside.

I'd be more concerned about it getting too warm without some vents. That cab looks like it would be a lot tighter air wise than the OEM cabs I'm familiar with and they can easily warm up too much when the temps are above -10 degrees F.

I was thinking the same thing. I have to leave my back window out if it's above 20 outside or I just end up sweating like a pig driving it around.

The cab looks nicely made. Nicer than my factory one anyway. The aluminum itself is probably worth $500 all day long if you had to buy it.

But this cab is sitting on a tractor that has the engine turned around backward. :lol:

Don`t forget the U.K. version, aluminIum, do our :canada: brothers ascribe to the same concept of metallurgy ?
