Nick, I built a metal frame for it and used the U channel that plumbers use to hang heavy pipe over head. I welded the frame together, but I bolt the cab to the frame mounts I made for the tractor. I have seen cabs that cost over $3000 and they mount to the fender deck, which in turn is mounted to the frame with 1/4 inch bolts. They are very wobbley, but mine is very solid. I covered the top and sides with plywood. I am going to replace it with the treated plywood or something nicer so it looks a bit nicer. This has lasted for almost 8 winters now, plus I leave it on for early spring aerating and late fall aerating also. It takes more of a beating on a rough lawn than when plowing. The lighting is simple. If your serious about building one, let me know. I can email you some digital pictures from all angles so you can figure out how to build it. Sure is nice in that warm cab when it's cold and windy outside. I can step you through the wiring when you get to that point.<p>My JD has a 20 HP diesel Yanmar engine, power steering, 3pt. hitch, with the weights, cab and plow, it weighs about 2,000 pounds and has excellent traction. I hope this helps. Email me if you want more details.<p>----------<br><a href="http://www.townserver.com/elm/">Eric@ELM</a><br>
