He Put A Cab On His Skid Steer Loader
Vernon Leininger, Reinholds, Penn., winterized his New Holland 712 skid steer loader by putting a "cab" on it made of wood frame plexiglass windows that mount on the front and sides of the ma-chine. He also covered the loader's wire floor with plywood.
"The windows keep me cozy and warm all winter and are easy to remove in summer," says Leininger. "I use the loader to move snow, load manure, and clean drive-ways for neighbors. In the past I often froze when doing those jobs."
The window on front mounts on three hinges. He bolted the side window frames inside the original steel mesh windows. Leininger covered the back opening with plywood and put a 4 by 6-in. sliding doo in it, which allows him to reach back and inject ether into the air cleaner to start the engine on cold mornings without having to get out of the cab.
