looking for a cab.

The case ingersoll cabs are not seen that often, If you do not want to wait jim's power equipment has a universal cab that some members here have purchased and liked.
If you search you can find some pics here of it.
I would love to find one. I am from Central Ma, where in RI are you located. Snotrocket rebuilt one and he did a most excellent job. Look at his avatar for prove of the great job

I got really lucky when I found mine. :trink40:
I was going to sell it initially when I bought it but nobody wanted it at the time, and a friend of mine talked me out of it as well.

finding a cab within driving distance is like finding a briefcase full of money in the woods.
Im over on the yahoo site looking for pics. Maybe if I see how they are constructed, I can make my own to get me through the winter. I dont need something pretty. All it has to do is keep me dry and somewhat warm.

If you're thinking of making one the nicest one on the yahoo site is the one Boomers Influence made. You can sort the photo albums by username to make finding it easier.
Here are a few pics of it. There are a lot more on the yahoo site.

True, Boomer's cab is the ultimate, and he provided himself a lot of cab room and visability inside there.
But I still prefer the look of the factory cab, and Snotrocket's is the one I really want to try to duplicate someday.
Side question snot.... I mostly listen to AM radio anymore, when driving or working. How is the reception in yours? Do you have any static issues from the charging system or any grounding issues?
Most of my music listening is done in the house on my big HiFi, so I usually just do the talk radio thing the rest of the time.

The reception is great. It's pretty much useless with the engine running at more than 1/4 throttle though. You can't hear a thing unless you have it turned up so loud the neighbors a mile a way can hear it too. :thThumbsU
I use it most when I'm pulling my utility cart around getting firewood or picking up brush.

You know if you wanted to get crazy you could line the whole cab with dynamat and acoustic foam or carpet.
Then you would have to install a subwoofer and amps. LOL
I just use an old set of headphones but my AM radio doesn't like small engines is why I asked.
EDIT yes I am using the insulated spark plug but still lots of static...

I've never tried it on AM. All my favorite talk programs are on FM up here.
I've actually got a roll of black carpet to install inside it I just haven't gotten around to it yet.... :sidelaugh :sidelaugh

thats not funny.
Actually, you are right. You would be amazed at what gets used for deer blinds around here. Most blinds are rather inconspicuous but there are a certain number of people that drive or tow old cars, buses, motor homes, and just about anything else they can think of into the woods and leave them there. Sadly, long after they stop hunting that area the hulks of their 'deer blinds' remain as a blight in the woods. I have several beautiful huge white oak trees up in my woods that someone chained metal chairs to as blinds many years ago before we purchased the land. The chains and chairs have grown into the trees so there is no good way to remove them. Other trees have steel spikes and steps driven into them that are now permanently embedded in them.
I don't have a problem with hunters in general. In fact they are important to herd control. I do have a problem with the ones that think nothing of permanently trashing the woods. It's usually those same ones that we have problems with trespassing, shooting outside of legal days and times, etc. Thankfully those are the minority and most of the hunters around our area are good sportsmen - respectful of nature and property. Sadly, there are a few I can't say that about.

There's a decent looking soft cab in the for sale section of the forum. It's designed for a Simplicity but looks fairly universal. He's only asking $200 for it.
