"How I Stay Warm In My Honda Tractor"
 ✖  |
Murray Scea, Campbellford, Ontario, came up with a cheap way to stay warm on his 1998 Honda 1855 tractor during the winter. He bought a canvas cab and adapted it to fit the rollbar cage on the tractor. He also mounted an electric fan on the tractor's dash that sends heat from the engine into the cab.
"Even on the coldest day I don't need a coat or gloves," says Scea.
He paid $300 for the cab, which was designed for another brand of lawn tractor. It has a zippered door on one side. The cab came mounted on a 1/2-in. pipe frame and was designed to pin to the tractor frame. Scea cut the pins off flush and riveted them to the roll cage and also to the tractor's frame.
"I couldn't find a cab that was made for the Honda, but this works great," says Scea. "One nice thing is that if the cab ever gets torn I can use duct tape to cover the holes, and no one will even notice because it's made from gray canvas," says Scea.
