[TheForge] building a hard cab for a tractor

[terry l. ridder]

hello;

the kubota tractor does not have a cab . there are aftermarket third
party cabs available for the bx2360 but they are all in my opinion over
priced. it does not appear that difficult to fabricate a nice cab for
the tractor in a reasonable amount of time and money. the one part of
the fabrication process that i could not perform would be the
painting/powder coating of the cab.

nearly everything else can be purchased off-the-shelf.
a plasma cutter or water jet would cut out the frame easy enough.
acrylic or temper autoglass could be used for the windshield, back
window, and door windows. i would prefer tempered glass. acrylic will
scratch and graze for time.

should be able to fabricate a hard cab for under $3,000.00 usd.

comments suggestions hints all welcomed.
